Savings and capital don't count for the Tax Credits benefits. It's your salary that counts. Not quite the whole story. Clearly you have to be working sufficient hours to claim Working Tax Credits. And whilst capital, in itself, is not relevant to the calculation of WTC, all of your income is being ...

Now you have ILR, no problem you claiming any benefits that your circumstances dictate you are entitled to.

Any such claim will have no impact upon any Citizenship application.

No, the WRS only applied to those employed, not those self-employed. So you commenced to exercise Treaty Rights as soon as you landed in the UK.

I think you should wait until Monday 23.03.15 before applying. Why? Because in the absence of your spouse in the UK, I cannot see how you were exercising Treaty Rights in the UK prior to 22.03.10.

problem is he travels a lot because of his job and he is in Turkey now

If he is legally resident in Turkey, and not just visiting there, his visa application can be made in Turkey.

Again :-

You are allowed to visit your parents! And have a holiday outside the UK!

"See parents" is the totally logical information to supply.

You are allowed to visit your parents! And have a holiday outside the UK!

Why do you think the oath ceremony applies to you?

When did you become a British Citizen? Have you been British since birth? Or if not, how and when did you become British?

Would it be a problem if I give them the last one which was quite poor and I present supporting documents as payslips and contracts to show that I can sustain myself? For those who entered the UK on a spouse visa, you are imagining a requirement that does not actually exist! The actual requirement ...

You were outside the UK from July 2009 to September 2010? If so you have clearly reset your UK immigration clock, to September 2010.

Mar 2012 Went back home to switch visa to dependant.

Dependant? So exactly what visa have you got now?

Given that she was born in the UK the application for her Registration as a British Citizen will be under section 1(3), an "entitlement" application. There is no residence qualification. Simply, you have your ILR, child born in the UK, therefore the application will be granted. No UKBA discretion in...

Your mother's parents, your grandparents, what nationality were they?

Can you get a copy of your mother's birth certificate and a copy of your grandparent's marriage certificate?

Also your grandmother's birth certificate?

Wait a minute, your mother moved the the UK as a child. So it is reasonable to think she did not travel alone! That is, someone must have brought her to the UK, but on what basis? To accompany one or both of her parents? If so it is reasonable to ask, what sort of visa did she have? The point is thi...

Do you know your mother's UK visa status? For example, do you still have her US passports? If yes, what UK visas are in such passports?

In any case, it looks highly likely that you are a US Citizen, but again your mother's US passports would be useful to prove that.

gannanigel, what you were hoping to achieve, getting from visitor visa to spouse visa in the UK, actually got legislated against as long ago as 01.04.2003! Yes over 11 years ago! When the change was made it was known as the "no switching rule". Prior to 01.04.2003 people were coming to the UK as a v...

Again we are at that time of year again!

If relevant to you, see my post in this topic dated 11.04.14, but this time make the change to "No" as regards the "Summer time/DST is in effect" setting.

Thanks for this information. But as regards :- After my permit there starts the one year time which limit us not to stay more than 90 days out, I managed this as I was out of UK for 70 days so far and 1 YEAR LIMIT WILL END ON 04-12-2014. -: not so, the one year period, indeed also the three year per...

For certain reason I need to be on the Electoral Register at a different address from that where I actually live.

To me that sounds like a breach of electoral law.

Yes, once you have your ILR, an application for Registration as a British Citizen can be made for your born-in-the-UK child.

The application will be under section 1(3), which is an "entitlement" application ..... no UKBA discretion involved.

I'm now reading information on UKBA saying that residence requirement is minimum 3 years. Not quite right, but what is true that there is an absolute requirement to have been in the UK exactly three years before UKBA receive your Naturalisation application. That 3-year test only applies because you...

a friend of mine got married with an EU national and sent his application for EEA residency permit. The application was refused claiming that EU National is already married I have just read through this whole topic. Interesting! But surely isn't it as basic as this? The EU national was not previous...

You are Dutch. If you are married then your wife will be classed as a Family Member, and thus have the same Treaty Rights as you, and that includes the right to live and work in any other EEA country. Not just Schengen countries! But certainly including those countries. But documentation would be re...
