Re: NEW PASSPORT APPLICATION FATHER NATIONALITY

Use the correct information. If you use German again then that will be considered as deception. If you are asked about it, you can explain the mistake. It shouldn't really cause an issue as your father's nationality can't change HO's decision as long he is not British. You've already been given one...

Re: Nuturalisation spouse of British citizen 3years complex!

If they were in fear of their life, then they would go to the nearest safe country and apply for asylum there. UK is surrounded by safe countries and they would have traveled through them to illegally enter the UK. Just look at all the illegals in Calais, refusing to claim asylum in France as they ...

Re: Nuturalisation spouse of British citizen 3years complex!

So a genuine asylum seeker who, in fear for his life, enters the UK illegally should be held to the same standards as someone who comes into the country with every intent of breaking immigration laws, simply because it's a nicer place to live? Also, as this has been covered a few times already, with...

Re: Nuturalisation spouse of British citizen 3years complex!

I can't actually remember a question regarding my immigration history in the application form, either, but then UKBA knows all about it anyway and they will see that you are an overstayer. I do understand that it's a bit of a shock to hear that you may have to wait years before applying for British ...

Re: Nuturalisation spouse of British citizen 3years complex!

It doesn't matter if you're the spouse of a British Citizen. It states clearly that if a person has not been compliant with the immigration requirements for the past 10 years, the application will be refused.

They're trying to clamp down on immigration.

Re: Please clarify Residence Requirement dates

Hello, it is confusing if it's different on the ILR form. Anyway, it's actually the same, just put differently. The 2nd and 6th won't be counted towards your days of absence, so it would from the 3rd till the 5th (3 days). You still have to write down the dates of departure and arrival though. Hope ...

Re: new citizen applying for first passport

If you look at the recent posts here you'll see that the processing time at the moment is quite short. 2-3 weeks at most. Mine took 19 days, and that was with Christmas and New Years in between, plus I chose to go to the HM Passport Office near Victoria Station which takes a little longer to get app...

Well, you can travel. I certainly did after sending my application in July and I was away for a month. However, it can be tricky if you're planning to go for 3-4 months, seeing that the general processing time of applications seems to be around 3 months. You should have someone taking care of your m...

Re: IELTS Bands for Listening and Speaking

Hello there,

when I did my language test in June (B1 level), I was told exactly the same by my test provider. However, I couldn't find any official statement from the Home office that it's true and my solicitor wouldn't confirm that either, so I thought it a bit of a gamble to rely on it.
