Hi, my wife has a strange experience with the passport office while applying for her first UK passport after naturalisation. The timeline: - Had her citicenship ceremony on 02 February 2017 (Straight forward application, done in 6 weeks, Latvian national) - Had her passport interview on the 21 Febru...

Hi, a brief follow-up, it might help others... 1) We challenged the Home Office on the name on the residency card, to my surprise we got a reply within 3 weeks! (miracles happen!). The HO letter states, that the only name they can take into consideration, and the only spelling of the name they consi...

Brilliant!!!!!!!!!

Hi, question concerning my stepdaughter: - Came to UK in 2011 with her mother (EEA citizen) age 14 - Went to school in UK and is now at University - She got her residency card last month ago as dependent of her mother - She now has to wait another year to apply for citizenship Question: This is the ...

Brilliant - thank you!

yes - she passed the B1 @ Trinity College 2 weeks ago. Thanks for your help!

Hi... me again. I have another question concerning my wife's naturalisation stuff: She took the "Life in the UK" test in 2012 (that's what you call forward thinking!!!! :D ). She now has her NCS appointment next week to start the process as wife of a BC (=me). AFAIK, we have all paperwork ...

THANKS!!!!

Brilliant - thanks!

So the fact that I am only BC for 1.5 years and we got married prior to me becoming BC does not matter?

Thanks for your help!

Hi, a quick question on Form AN. Our situation: - I acquired British citizenship in February 2015 (originally from Germany) - My wife is Latvian, has now (as of a week ago) the residency permit sorted (it's in a incorrect spelling of her name - but that's another story!), "life in the uk" ...

Hi Federal, you mention in your post, that the HO will not entertain any other names than mentioned in your passport... We (=my wife) have a similar issue, but both last names are in the passport! - She is Latvian national, we got married 2014 here in the UK and she took my last name - The Latvian a...

bump....

Any idea/advice? Every bit is highly appreciated, since we do not want to spend £1300 and lose all due to incomplete paperwork!

Hi, finally - after nearly 5 months - my wife's residency card arrived today... but the name doesn't look right. Let me explain in detail: - She is Latvian national, we got married 2014 here in the UK and she took my last name - The Latvian authorities changed her last name in her Latvian passport t...

Hi and welcome to the forum (also I think I know you from the Germans in London forum )

you do!

Thanks again - this stuff it driving me nuts!

Hi, can someone please help me out - I am getting sooooo confused with this. Posted some months ago, but a am not sure I got my main concern sorted. So - it concerns my wife and her daughter form her previous marriage: - Wife and daughter are Latvian - Wife came to the UK in 2007, worked for 3 month...

Just to be clear, mother is the main applicant. She is EEA so there is no sponsor.
Daughter is the family member.

If you meant they are your family members well yes they are - but not in context of PR; as you are now British you are out of the picture.

Thanks what I meant...
Thanks again!

Thanks for the clarification... so: We wait for April 2016, mother & daughter can apply as family members. All other stuff formalities like time outside UK are no issue (the odd holiday, but that was it) and she is definitely financially depended (STUDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :...

Hi, I have a question concerning the daughter of my wife - it's a bit complicated, so I would be grateful for some pointers. She is looking into getting the residency card. Most of this happened before we met, I am German and only got UK citizenship last year. - my wife and her daughter moved form L...

Hi, I would need a bit of advice on what to do with my application. History: - Am German national, 7 years resident in the UK, never any issues (not even a speeding ticket!) - I applied through NCS in Bristol on the 23 June (!) 2014 for citizenship. All went smoothly, all documents correct, a straig...

Thanks!

What number did you call? I tried 0845 010 5200, but it doesn't seem to be in use any more...
