Who do I inform about our Civil Partnership

gamma911 · Post by **gamma911** » Tue Jul 31, 2007 9:47 pm

Hi all,

Obviously we would like to gather as much evidence as possible for my ILR app in 2 years time.

My question is, who do I tell about our CP to add to the evidence?

So for we have Joined the RAC as a joined member, The National Trust, about to let the Council Tax know?

What about the Tax office?

Are there any other insitutions we can join / things to open, savings accounts? to strengthen my case?

Thanks all

Hi, have you downloaded the form SET(M)? If not I think you should do that now and have a good read about the documentary requirements when you apply for your ILR. I think that most of your queries are dealt with by the form.

Inform the tax office? Really no need to inform them, well not until a form needs to be completed which asks for such information. After all, unless you or your partner were born prior to 06.04.1935 (yes 1935!) there are no income tax allowances for being married or in a CP.

Thanks for the reply,

Well my idea of informing the tax office is purely to get some more documentary evidence. - would you think thats a good idea?

Yes I have downloaded the form, they mention social bodies / clubs - which are?

regards

Ah yes, from that angle it makes sense, but best to include a "Please acknowledge receipt" in your letter to them.

Anything! Dependent upon what you and your partner like doing .... us human beings are all different, aren't we! Local Chess club? Local model railway club? Rambling club? You name it, there is probably a club for your sort of interest that you could join.

A bit late but thanks for the reply John.

Anyone have any other suggestions? I feel this is such an important step in planning for the ILR because there is no going back in time!

Do I recall correctly that you were on a work permit before you CP'd with your UK partner? How long were you here for?

Yes that's correct
I was on a workpermit for 3 years and before that on a working holiday for 2.
So all in all 5 years (although the 2 WHM doesnt count to ILR)

Sounds to me like you are a perfect candidate for the ppron method, if you want to naturalise that is. Do you?

gamma911 · Post by **gamma911** » Wed Aug 29, 2007 4:41 pm

Hey sorry for the late reply - yes I def want to naturalise - whats is the ppron method?

gamma911 · Post by **gamma911** » Wed Aug 29, 2007 6:30 pm

Having read up about it more on here and on ukresident it seems that this might be a fast track method for me to naturalise? Is this correct - even tho I already have a spousal VISA?

Your current visa is irrelevant, you wouldn't be applying in the UK.

Thanks for the pointer.

Is this worth pursuing even tho we only have one documented case?

The documented case is the example, lots of other people have done it.

Whether it is worth it is up to you. Personally, if I was in a situation that alllowed me to take that route I would as I loathe the idea of paying the government an extra thousand pounds just to stay with my partner. I'd rather spend it on a good holiday somewhere nice with a british embassy to apply to...

Yes that is so true - I would seriously consider it, what would be the next step then?

After what?

After taking the ppron route you would be a UK Citizen.

Sorry I might have been misunderstood.

What would be the next step to follow the ppron method? - Inform the high commission in Dublin? - Get documentation together?

The next step as in to actually start doing it.

Yes, but what is relevant is that the person going the ppron route must be married to (or in Civil Partnership with) a British Citizen.

Again I take this opportunity to say, the ppron method is highly technical. No one should enter into that path without first studying the method in great detail, so that they understand its requirements.

Why is marriage to (or CP with) a British Citizen necessary? Because it is necessary for the applicant to be free of immigration restrictions (but it does not matter for how long they have been free of immigration restrictions) ... and that is the case if they are outside the UK.

Compared to ... not married to (or in CP with) a British Citizen ... need to be free of immigration restrictions for at least one year ... but that will not be the case because they will only have left the UK that day, or a day or two earlier.

Regretfully ppron747 has not posted here, or anywhere we are aware of, since the beginning of this year. Us Moderators are fearing the worst. I know that Paul came to this board with considerable technical knowledge of Citizenship matters, and only someone possessing such detailed technical knowledge could have ever posted details of the ppron method, which now has worked for a number of members of this Board.

As the Original Poster here is.

Seconded.

Neither Mwazir nor Joseph have also not posted for some time now. So, any specific reason for the anxiety?

Post by **John** » Fri Aug 31, 2007 6:51 pm

I don't want to go into specific details, but yes, there are reasons for suspecting the worst. It is not just that Paul has not posted since January.

That is indeed sad to hear. He really showed great dexterity in devicing his method and was always nice to have around. Even his nome-de-plume is great in it being an upsidedown aeroplane!

You have tweaked my curiousity about the matter but whatever the situation, my sincerest well wishes goes out to him.

Did any of them get shipped off to Iraq or Afghanistan to defend Queen and Country?

I pray for their safety wherever they are and God be with them!

Yes indeeed - As you might know I am in a Civil Partnership so I do fulfill that criteria, but I do agree that you should know all the technical issues with this method as there is every chance that you might get questioned when lodging the application abroad and then not knowing an answer is the easiest way to be shown the door.
