Re: British Citizenship vs ILR

I understand British Citizenship and British Passport is not the same thing. But question is why somebody would do naturalising (becoming British Citizen), but not apply for British passport? Only reason I could think of it, not willing to lose their previous passport, but how would country of origi...

Re: Passport Pages and Stamps

thanks Simon.

interesting case..I think the reason for refusal is more than the fact there had been inconsistencies between current application and that of 2013. does your GM have any assets in her name? howz her bank balance? You need to be able to show that she has strong roots in Pakistan. also explain in the ...

just wondering what is the standard visitor visa processing time in South Asia, from here I read it like 45-60 days? has it always been like that or only recently there is a delay (UKVI website says 15 days)?

Re: Applying for Visitor Visa for my parents from UK

UKVI website says 90% of the applications are processed within 15 days...but is it just me or the trend in reality looks like 90% of the applicaitons take 45 -60 days for visitor visa ?

has this always been the case or coz of Covid?

Re: UK Visitor Visa for Parents

I will answer the questions I know. - you have to apply via gov.uk webiste visitor visa. - I think it is safe to mention your status as ILR, so that you can prove easily. Remember, sponsor not being in any violation of rules is important. - For the three people, I think you should apply separately a...
