FYI. On the phone today they said that NCS people often never get acknowledgement letters since we know that the HO has received it given that we sent it via the NCS. I don't know how true it is because when I applied using NCS several months back I got ack letter and recently my wife applied in Oc...

Basic mathematics .... 2 is not equal to 1.5 :) Although they have no way of verifying how long you know the person for I would urge you not to misrepresent because for the first passport they take your interview and the interviewers are well trained to figure out these things. They ask you about th...

As advised above you have to send all passports (expired and unexpired).
In case of Pakistani passports they simply put a stamp on the first page saying that a new passport has been issued.

I'm looking at the list of acceptable professions for referees for my British citizenship, and so far I can't think of anyone who I know well who has one of those occupations. What questions are the referees likely to be asked? Might help me work out which of my acquaintances is my best option! I'v...

So in the case that you were just arrested but not charged then you dont have to mentione anything because you have no convictions and no pending investigations.

A good friend of mine was in a similar situation so I might be able to advise but at the moment you are providing conflicting information. On one hand you are saying "... decided to drop the charges ..." while on the other you are saying "I was never charged ....". Both of these ...

Yes, one. You have way too much free time on your hands buddy

Yes.

Please don't use capitals as it feels like one is yelling.

I dont't think there is a shorter way or an alternative to MN1 although after that instead of passport you can maybe apply for right of abode which might be a little faster. I agree that the fees are excessive but it is more than a formality. You are only thinking about very young children while MN...

Get NARIC certificates for your own peace of mind. Otherwise it should generally be fine if it is shown on PBS calculator Hi I have received a letter from home office stating that,the qualification must be deemed by NARIC to meet the recognised standard of bachelor's or masters degree in the uk and...

Also be aware that there are certain changes being proposed (not approved yet as far as I know) that they will stop giving ILR after 2018. http://www.immigrationboards.com/indefinite-leave-to-remain/ho-announced-no-t1-exten-after-apr-2015-no-ilr-after-ap-2018-t161418.html This is not applicable to ...

Neutralisation :lol: who is being neutralised here??? :lol: I believe the correct word is naturalisation. The only relevant upcoming changes in the rules I have heard of are: 1. No Tier 1 extrensions after April 2015 2. No ILR after April 2018 But mind you that as far as I know this is still an inte...

Yes she also mentioned that UKBA will probably retain the original LIUK with them.

Many thanks guys for putting my mind at ease.

I applied myself using AN a couple of months back using the Croydon NCS and at that time they just sent the photocopy of LIUK certificate and returned the original to me. My wife applied for naturalization (AN) yesterday using the same NCS and the lady there said that UKBA have asked them to send th...

I think your references will be fine. Worst case scenario (which is quite unlikely for a 5 year old child) they will ask you to provide another reference. Your application in unlikely to be rejected due these references. Also NCS don't really refuse to accept the application, they can advise you abo...

Hi all, I am planning to apply for naturalisation and language criteria is confusing. My degree is present on pbs and i claimed all my past english points on this degree.I also have original transcript which mentions medium of instruction was English. is these two document sufficient for language c...

I came to the UK 18 years ago, my father sponsored my mum and me. You need to provide accurate information before people can give you correct advice. Please clarify the following. 1. Do you have any document which says you are a British Citizen? 2. If you have no document which says you are British...

Ask your HR dept or whoever deals with the payslips they should be able to give you this info easily.

You need to provide accurate information before people can give you correct advice. Please clarify the following. 1. Do you have any document which says you are a British Citizen? 2. If you have no document which says you are British then what is your current visa status in the UK? When did you get ...

There is no issue here at all. Just renew his passport now. If the passport shows he did not leave the country after entering the last time then basically you are covered.

Try reading the form and the guide. This has been answered numerous times on the forum so a little read through the old posts might be helpful.

I am no expert but your post seem to contradict itself. At one point you are saying you are british by descent (but were denied passport) and on the other hand you are saying you have ILR. A british citizen does not need ILR so both cannot be true. Do you have any document which says you are british...
