Visitor status may be included though the onus is on the applicant to provide evidence of his stay in the UK during the 10 years in consideration. 1. On how many instances (approx.) in the last 10 years have you not travelled to UK mainland within 6 months of the last visit there? 2. Have you spent...

Thanks bb21. I forgot to mention that I am a British National (Overseas) passport holder, which I was told counts as a commonwealth citizen. Does being a commonwealth citizen help in this case? Also, inside the passport it does say In accordance with the United Kingdom immigration rules, the holder...

How long do you spend on each visit to your house in the UK, ie how many days a year have you been in the UK in the past few years? I would say I spend average 1.5 months per year there. Here is the question. If Leave to Enter as Visitor does not count towards to 10 years. Than I can wrap up all th...

I think I should be able to find most of the tickets anyway, but I would be more concern if they would take all these into account since the common area arrangement. Any idea?

Thank you

I read some info in UKBA website already. I did not understand all of it about ILR. I had few years Leave to Enter as student in UK. After I left UK, I enter UK every 6 months with limited Leave to Enter as Visitor for 6 years. I was wondering. If all those time I had added up for more than 10 years...

I know about Indefinite Leave to Remain and how it works. What about Indefinite Leave to Enter? Is Indefinite Leave to Enter same as Indefinite Leave to Remain? If it is different, what are the differences?

Thank you

Stamp 6 is mostly for Irish Nationals with dual nationality. It enables people in that category to use their non-eu passport, without the need to obtain a visa or re-entry visa On getting Stamp 5 do one still need re-entry visa? If one still need re-entry visa then there is no different to Stamp 4 ...

I have tried to see if there have been any Judicial Reviews of the naturalisation, but just cant manage to find any information. Even if there was a JR case, it wont be binding on UK g...
