she can apply for nationality after 5 years living in uk without husband help she dont need to renew her passport for nationality but if she wants to go abroad then she needs to renew it for more information wait for senior members advice

Ya That would be great but her Pakistani passport been expired for 6 months

What documents she need to apply for Naturalization and how much time it take. She don't want to travel urgent she can wait for 6 -8 months

Her application is straight forward but she is confused because Her husband is Treating her bad


Thanks

If your friend fulfils the standard requirements, she may apply for naturalisation on her own merit.

In such case, no help / assistance / documents required from her husband. Breakdown in their relationship is also irrelevant.

She has passed life in the uk test


But she want to know what documents she need and her situation with expiry Pakistani passport with IRL
More details

Ok So i have Sum Up Questions in this way

My Friend (Female) legally Separated from her husband Recently
Her husband British born


She is living in England for Almost 5 years ( 5 years will be completed on 20 June 2011)


She has ILR since 2 years (Expiry Pakistani passport)

She has One Daughter (British National)

She is Claiming Benefits ( Child , Income ,Housing ) ( DUE TO BREAKDOWN WITH HER HUSBAND RELATIONSHIP )

Passed Life in the UK Test

She wants to Apply for British Nationality

IS She eligible and her Claiming benefit will or will not effect Nationally Application ?

No Criminal Offense

Is it a Straight Yes Application

Should she apply through Post or Face to Face

REGARDS

The benefit claims will not impact upon an application for Naturalisation.

Apply by post, or use NCS office? Using NCS is recommended as they check the application before it gets posted to Liverpool.

Renew her Pakistani Passport first from Knightsbridge ( pakistani )Embassy .London, you can go for urgent passport cost around £50 in one week. and than apply for naturalisation via NCS. you can even travel if you have valid Pakistani passport with old passport attached with ILR in it

Also tell her to transfer all Child benefit or tax credit etc on her name , and try contacting authorities about his addiction they can even help you to accommodate some where as she has child.

Hi Ferrari
Renewing Pakistan passport important ?

Caz she is struggling to renew she will then need to make New id Card

And then Will have to Transfer Indefinite Leave to New passport which cost more money and extra application


Isn't Old expiry Passport With indefinite leave Alright ?

And how can she get helped with naturalization caz she has child

thanks

See also BC help PLease.

I am only saying to renew is if she wants to travel while Naturalisation application is with HO, and you dont have to transfer your ILR onto your new passport. As long as both passports are together you should be ok

Thanks

She don't want to travel anytime sooner

How much time it Takes for This application

Thanks

Naturalisation can take up to 6 months as this is very busy period in HO nationality department, Average they are taking around 12 weeks.

Thanks

What is NCS Service

Ways to apply for British citizenship or nationality

First thing she should have done - contact Social Services, I know for a fact some people think they take our children away without a reason, but if she contacted them first as a victim, who i believe she was, she would not even have to claim any benefits, she would get help from the government straight away.

You said her housband was treating her bad, what about a child???? Even if he tried to be a good father towards her/their child, how can you let the child see the mum under preasure???

The whole conversation is out of the question, Social Services would take mum and child away from a hyper active father, full stop.

I am a Polish citizen, and I appreciate coming to UK not only work or career wise, but child wise. If your child is commited and loved, your child will never leave family home for a night, party or any other event. As long as you do care about your child, talk to your child, build a trust in between, express your love towards your children, he/she/your child will never get into trouble, again - full stop. Your child may say that was a witness of an argument at home, but as long as there is love, will never go away.

Passports Come on, if you are a victim of family agression, abnormal father and et cetera, you do not ask or wait for an answear from a pathetic forum answears, you go to the nearest Police Station to (not report) say that you as a mother are frightened by anybody - your neighbour, mother, father, brother or ANYBODY in the world. UK and any other country in the world, including Europe, will not let suffer any Human being, again, full stop.

Please, do not mix up situations and areas you leave in like mine, where average inteligence could be below any cricitism, or above your/our expectations, the Brtitish System as an idea is great (Family Wise), but parents are not always mature. Our European culture of panishing our children is mentaly wrong, every psychologist will confirm that you can develope a human being, a child , an animal or any other form of life only by giving a love, not a stress, an agression, bad emotions or a negative emotions...

What would she do with a passport? Go back to Pakistan, to be found, and punished? Where would be a child then? Sick !!!!

My question is - Why for the past years of this thread and conversations, Nobody, I repeat, NOBODY sugested her contacting Social Services in first place.

Should I belive, the bad housband was treating her child right, giving an encourage, faith, strength for the future?

My answear is NO, this thread is absolutely pointless as long as the child has no enviroment to grow up in faith, family/life values and all other factors of being a proud citizen of human being race.

Forgive my English, as I am Polish, but any speculations about the passport, traveling and others including all advices given, is just ...

...answear it yourself

I love my child, and if anything was happening to any family members I would just care about children, Social Services http://www.google.co.uk/#hl=pl&tbo=d&sc ... 20&bih=933
