Yes, that's correct. I have my foreign Turkish passport and it does not have the ILR stamped for my return to the UK. The immigration officer is not satisified, he won't let me through.manyaonisland wrote:How have you managed to travel abroad without passport?
Do you have passport from any other country as you said - I am born in the UK and lived there ever since
I was born in the UK on 07/07/1992. My father was granted ILR on the 22/08/1994. My father has the ILR stamped on his foreign Turkish passport but he never held a British passport he was 'settled' in the UK when I was born. I think he has been naturalised - i'm not even sure.sushdmehta wrote:When were you born?
When was your father granted ILR?
Is your father a British Citizen? If so, when did he naturalise?
As you were born after your father gained ILR, you could have applied to register as British Citizen before the age of 18. As you are over 18, you will need to apply for naturalisation as British Citizen on your own rights. The application usually takes a few months and if granted, you can later apply for a British passport.Gladiowolf wrote:I was born in the UK on 07/07/1992. My father was granted ILR on the 22/08/1994.

What is your legal status in the UK? Have you got ILR? If you hold ILR, you should be allowed to travel back to the UK.The immigration officer is not satisified, he won't let me through

I belive I'll have to register first, I'm just legally status there.sushdmehta wrote:I am confused!Gladiowolf wrote:My legal status in the UK is that i'm a British national
If you are a British national then you are already a British citizen!
I do have my expired old Turkish passport it doesn't have an ILR sticker, though.Jambo wrote:As a Turkish national, if you are legal in the UK, you either have a visa or ILR.
Did you have a ILR sticker in the past (in an expired passport)? As you were minor when you father have gained ILR, do you know if he applied for ILR for the rest of the family at some point?
Did you ever leave the UK before? If you did, how did you enter the UK in the past?
Yes, since I was born I have lived there more than 10 years - my life was always within the UK.vinny wrote:You're entitled to register, if you had spent your first 10 years of your life in the UK.
