I respect what you say about others' experiences. I do. But to be honest, the most heartfelt emotion that I'll experience during such a ceremony will be relief with not having to deal with the Home Office any longer.
Sorry, i did not mention that!but what difference does it make?I have still worked and lived there for 6 years,the only difference is that if they take residency, i would be stateless!] What difference does it make? Well, successful asylum seekers may apply earlier for citizenship, as you so carefu...
I have no family neither in dK nor in Germany,I have been asylum seeker and I got my asylum from Dk in 2001,to get Danish citizenship for asylums it takes 8 years after you get ur asylum->2001+8=2009: www.nyidanmark.dk I applied for citizenship in 2006, before moving to Germany. Log of the days whe...
How can you have applied for Danish citizenship after having lived only six years there? They require that you have lived in the country NINE years and are continuing to live there: http://www.nyidanmark.dk/en-us/citizenship/danish_nationality/conditions_to_be_satisfied.htm Danish citizenship is one...
Listen, I know you're having a moan and all, but welcome to the reality of international relationships. All of us who have been through this (Oi, Wanderer!) have had to deal with the laws and the seemingly shocking insensibilities. But after you've had your moan, the laws are what they are. They're ...
I have been a permanent resident in the UK (with a Nigerian passport), residing in London for the past 26 years. The next appointment date available is in August (2 months after my travel date) Hmm, maybe it might be time to consider applying for British citizenship to put this inconvenience behind...
I'm not sure I understand what the big deal is. A good word of advice for anyone is to photocopy your passport. The picture page and the page with the ILR residence permit on it...and keep these copies in a safe place. If you're particularly concerned, get them notarised.
I have no idea. You should probably post in the Tier 1 section of this forum regarding that specific question. People there will more likely be able to help.
Apart from getting married, the only other possible way around this may be to go on holiday for two months together outside of the UK, preferably to her country of origin. In March 2009, she can then lodge a unmarried partner visa application from there. Just my thoughts...
I don't believe that the child is entitled to Irish citizenship. This is from Wikipedia : Anyone born in the island of Ireland, its islands or territorial seas on or before the 31 December 2004 is automatically an Irish citizen unless one parent was entitled to diplomatic immunity at the time of bir...
You sort of stitched yourself up with this... As Wanderer said, you could have applied for the Daueraufenthalterlaubnis-EG whilst you were still working and resident in Germany. Read this for more information: http://www.duesseldorf.de/auslaenderamt/daueraufenthalt_eg/index.shtml But in particular, ...
Just out of curiosity, how did the Immigration Officer at Heathrow know that you were not attending and were also exceeding the legal number of working hours per week?
I sat my exam in July 2006, and I'm only applying for ILR next month. Almost two years later! But if I were to do it again now, I wouldn't. I think the immigration requirements of 2010 may be nothing like what we have now in 2008. I don't think that this was the case for 2006 v. 2008. Just my 2 penc...
No, I'm not saying that. They can hassle you at the time of a citizenship application if for some reason they think that your intentions don't match their demands. But that's a very difficult thing for them to prove. You or your referees basically have to divulge the information to them. They will a...
Thanks Robin. I think as it may take up to 6 months or longer to approve a natruralsiation application, I cannot even be sure my self that the overseas job will still be open for me. However I think it will now be best to get another referee to avoid any conflicts. However, I also note that Chapter...
i live and worked here legally Having read what you have posted, I fail to see why you think you are legal in the UK, and permitted to work. Please spell out your reasons why you have reached your conclusion. I don't think this is going to ultimately lead to any sort of constructive discussion. Nic...
There are some significant changes in these announcements. I'm just flipping through them now, but for instance, the Working Holidaymakers Scheme looks as if it will change beyond all recognition. If I've understood this correctly , it looks like Indian and Pakistani nationals, most Africans and man...
I think you've answered your own question. Unless you marry, the best option is a student visa for her as you exercise your treaty rights there. And then...an eventual UPV situation.
Any idea where in Germany you would like to end up?
If you marry in the UK, your wife needs the CoA. You don't. If you marry in Austria, you don't need any permission from the UK. They don't care. How long has your wife been on HSMP? If she's been on it a while (>2 years), I would continue on it. She does not need to do anything. If she switches now ...
Beware! Don't make the common mistake that many people do in this country when they equate becoming a British citizen and receiving a UK passport. They are two separate, albeit linked events. As paulp has written, you become a British citizen once you receive your naturalisation certificate at your ...
At this point, no one has "got through" since the very limited "transitional measures" ended at the end of April 2006. That's a very assumptive statement. See my earlier thread above. As I said - the lucky triers.. I presume that no one has got through based upon the very clearl...
At this point, no one has "got through" since the very limited "transitional measures" ended at the end of April 2006. In order to stay legal in this country, to keep working, to allow our children to stay in school, everyone (WP holders, HSMP holders, Ancestry visa holders) has ...
