Because I design these systems for a living. That is interesting. Then you would know more about them than most people on these forums. I presume that you design more than just the hardware. I would be very interested in your thoughts on how secure they are as regards the security of the data that ...

Whatever makes you think that epassport gates do not treat you like that? Because I design these systems for a living. The officers have the same exact biometric readers as the biometrics gates. They see the exact same details the automatic systems see and the same checks are done. The only extra w...

What I don't understand is that if it's a requirement by law, how come the automatic gates don't get to ask these questions and treat you like this? I would 100% refuse to be x-rayed, give me a little dosage of radiation to make what point exactly? Maybe just because many have accepted this is the r...

Hi, I wanted to know more about your experience with British border officers after obtaining British passport. I personally prefer automatic gates as the computer doesn't ask me stupid questions about where I've been, why I've been there and how long etc and rotating my passport in all direction to ...

I guess the question you're asking is this:

Should I be honest and risk being found out that I've been dishonest or should I be dishonest and risk being found out that I've been dishonest twice.

I'd be honest.

I had a degree in English, rather than dealing with NARIC, I just booked a B1 test and did it. The entire process took about 15 mins and £80.

Also remember than given they find out you've been dishonest, you will (rightly) be banned from applying for 10 years.

Hi Amber, can you advise me in my case regarding British naturalization application as a refugee? my immigration history is as below: Enter UK with student visa Applied asylum without passport ( the agent took passport from me at the airport and disappeared) Granted Rfugee status in a month time Go...

Unfortunately, these changes will prevent almost all refugees from qualifying for British citizenship for at least 10 years from their date of entry, as opposed to six years at present. This is arguably contrary to Article 31 of the Refugee Convention and certainly contrary to Article 34. So you wi...

Getting BC with PR is easier because getting the PR itself is difficult. My wife got rejected once, and only received hers after we hired some expensive lawyers. The comprehensive medical insurance is indeed a requirement which is obviously just there as "gotcha" for unsuspecting applicant...

was the SP30 given in court? If yes, you have to wait 5 years from the date. if not, then you can apply to be naturalised.

Use check & send. It about £9 I believe and someone checks your form and photo to make sure it fits the requirement, hopefully saving you some hassle.

You should ask for your passport back, it won't affect the outcome. https://eforms.homeoffice.gov.uk/outreach/Return_of_Documents.ofml Make sure you select NO in "Do you want to withdraw the application?" I say you should because doing so might just shake up your application a bit and get ...

1. If you have an ILR, the divorce won't affect your application because you won't be applying as a spouse of a British citizen but rather a 10 year long residency + 1 ILR 2. Yes 3. Yes 4.
