Hiya My husband is appying for BC soon. He is a self employed Taxi Driver, and pays his own tax and NI through HMRC. On the form AN it asks for 3.3 Name of employer or Business and 3.4 Address of employer or Business. He pays all his own tax and NI but he works through a cab firm who give him the jo...

Hiya

Thanks very much for your reply

Hiya This question has probably been asked, but I have searched and cannot find any similar. My husband is applying for BC on the 18/02/2012. A few weeks after he has a wedding to attend in his country. Would he be allowed to travel after he submits his application, because I read somewhere that he ...

Thanks Casa

Many thanks for your reply

Hiya Husband is applying for BC, he is a self employed Taxi driver. On question 3.3 it asks for the name of employer or business and in 3.4 the address. He gets his work through a taxi firm but he is self employed. Therefore should he supply the details of the taxi firm in these sections or leave it...

Thank you so much for your help. I will supply his previous PAYE ref and UTR. Do you think I should enclose his previous P60's with the application also? Also with regards to his different surname do you think this info on the page 13 will be ok: The previous name that I was known by was Abdul Khan....

Hi My husband is due to apply for BC very soon. He was employed and paying tax through PAYE between the dates 05/2009-02/2011, but since April 2011 he has been self employed. He has no self assement statement of account yet as the tax year has not been completed, therefore I am going to enclose his ...

Hiya My husband is applying for BC in a couple of months and I am just completing the application forms. I have come across the question: 1.8- If you are or have ever been known by any name or names other than the ones mentioned My husband came to the UK initially as an Asylum seeker, with the name ...

vipul1981 many thanks for your reply.

Hi On an BC application can a friend sign it who is an Insurance Consultant with Saga. I have known her for over 8 years. Her Boyfriend is also a Consultant with Saga, and they live at the same address, would they both be able to be my referees. They have no convictions, both hold British passports ...

Many thanks for your reply and congratualtions on BC. Wow 18 days that is fantastic. My husband doesn't really want to pay an accountant until he needs to at the next tax year, so im not sure if it will look bad on him....

Hi my Husband got his ILR in Jan 2011 and wil be eligible to apply for British Citizenship in Feb 2012. He was in full time employment since May 2009 with an employer and paying tax and NI on Paye up until Feb 2011. He left the job due to ill health and has just started Taxi driving this week and ha...

I agree with Sally Croydon is awful. Smelly, busy. Staff have no respect. Our Immigration Officer couldnt even speak proper English and has the cheek to decide an application for another person. Go to B'ham, much better reports coming from there.

Hi Iyanu

Many thanks for your advice.

Hi My husband has ILR and has just changed jobs to become self employed. He has paid Tax and NI for this (2010-2011) tax year through his previous employer, but when he files his self asessment for 2010-2011 his earnings for self employment this tax year will be less than the expenses he has paid ou...

Hi

Would they have to tick on the form that they are legally separated or tick the box married? Many thanks.

Hi

Do you have to tick on the form that you are legally separated or tick the box married? Many thanks.

Sorry Casa I see that on the form. So if he was to tick the box and say they are legally separated, he could still get BC after the 3 years qualifying period in the UK and wouldn't have to wait the 5 years? Is that Correct?

Thankyou for that advice Casa. Could you tell me where it says that on the form?
Many thanks

If he wants to get it in 4 months, as a husband of a British Citizen there may be a problem. But if he waits the 2 more years there is no problem.

I thought that, but she is scared incase it was found out and came to light.

Hi Im writing for advice on behalf of a friend. Her husband got his ILR about 8 months ago and is 4 months away from BC. They have recently seperated, but are remaining friends. She still wants to help him get his Citizenship and is happy to supply her passport with the application. Her worry is tha...

Hi No we didn't have a solicitor. I don't believe you need one as the application itself is very straight forward, it is stressful waiting to submit it! Your documents sound fine. You should provide a letter from you brother saying that you live in his house and the dates you have lived there. Also ...

She just took three of my husbands latest payslips, they were £830 each month. She took the lastest 3 bank statements. At the time that the bank statement was produced each month we had a balnce of just over £1000.
I had included a statement showing my savings, but she didnt even look at it.

Hi Process was fine, until I gave her a letter from my parents to say that we lived in their home. Then she started asking my husband, had he lived in the Uk before, what were his reasons before, when did he come to the UK first time and when did he leave. She said she would do some checks. She came...
