This is all why we keep saying 'get a good lawyer/solicitor'. You need someone who will take an unknown situation and find relevant situations which could create analogies in your situation. This requires access to the right systems and the right training. You need them to be able to understand the...

Dear Moderators, I have recently become BC and I would like to know whether my wife can naturalise as BC. She got ILR through refugee status and for 2months now. We were married in UK and she's been in uk For more than 7 years. Please would you guys kindly tell us whether she can apply for naturali...

HI good people. I have ILR since 02 may 2013 can I apply for naturalization 30 days before the 02 may 2014. Someone told me you can apply 30 days before the actual 12 month period. Please advise any possibilities please. Thank you. If you are not applying as a spouse of a British citizen, you must ...

1. Dear Sir/Madam
2. 7 February 2013
3. Are you applying as a spouse of a British citizen? If not, just fill in the information you know, and leave blank any information you don't know. You may wish to provide an explanation in the cover letter.

In addition to what trend said, also bear in mind that when NCS accepts the application, that's not the date HO receives it. NCS will send the application to HO via post. If your appointment is late on the day, it may miss the postal run and be sent out the next business day. So, if there is any iss...

I guess my question is will they view an NVQ level 7 as equivalent to a degree? That way I can just take my certificate to NCS and it's sorted.

I really hope that's the case and there won't be any delay to the process.

No.

So long as you meet all the other requirements, you can apply on 7 March 2014.

Hi Thanks for your reply. so no need of NARIC or letter from Uni? do i need to take the original Certi. to NCS or a copy ? have you been throu this process yourself? You do not need a letter from NARIC or the university if the degree was obtained in the UK. The requirement is: Certificate showing t...

I thought that this was one of those documents you won't see again - like proof of Life in the UK test pass - as you won't need it once you become a BC. Any thoughts on this? Should I be worried? No, you shouldn't be worried. They would have photocopied your documents and sent back what they didn't...

You need to be free from immigration restrictions when applying. You're restricted if your visa has an expiry date. So, you need ILR/PR at the time of application. If applying for 5 years residency, you'll need to have been free from immigration restrictions (i.e. held ILR) for at least 12 months be...

I thought Biometric Residence Permits were being issued by UKBA instead of the sticker in the passport. Is your wife's visa in her passport or a separate card?

Alternatively, perhaps your wife and you can enter into a lease with your parents? With the rent being a peppercorn.

It's possibly one of the most frustrating things for a foreigner because the ID that most banks accept is ID that most people won't have for awhile after arrival. Does your wife have a bank account in her previous country? Can she change the correspondence address of that account? If so, that can be...

He doesn't need to file his divorce certificate, as posters above have said.

He should put down whatever the reason for divorce is. Irreconcilable differences or breakdown of marriage should be sufficient.

Yes

Your timeline is pretty tight, but make sure you ask NCS if they send the application off that day. You can apply via NCS on 10 March. I would suggest you could apply on 7 March via NCS as the application won't reach UKBA earlier than 10 March. You would count as present in the UK on 13 March 2009. ...

Congratulations

Have you been resident in the UK for the past 5 years?

Hi everyone, I just found this board after wondering about what has happened to my application. I submitted my BC application through the Wandsworth NCS on the 5th November with the HO taking the funds for the application on the 10 January. I have not received any letter from the HO acknowledging m...

Non-payment of tax is a grounds for refusal but it depends on the circumstances and whether it was deliberate or not. If it was an innocent mistake where the applicant was on the wrong tax code (e.g. the employer supplied the wrong info) then it's probably not an issue. However, if the applicant for...

I don't understand now we are in 2014 they asking for 2010 and 2011 tax:(

HMRC can review files for up to 7 years, if I remember correctly.

It will be on your US record, but is not considered a denial because you're withdrawing the application - and are not being ordered for removal. However, if you do try to re-enter the US, you will want to ensure you comply with any directions given by the Border Agent at the time of your Withdrawal ...

Let me know how you get on with the rest of it.

Best of luck.

There is a wife page AND a sponsor page. The relationship of the sponsor to you is a drop down box that does not include spouse Is this under the Sponsors Details page? Under the question "What is their relationship to you?" which lists a bunch of relatives and then "Other relative"? If so, I'd cho...

So did you successfully become naturalised using your HO ILR approval letter?

My answer (Yes) was to this question, folks.
