Hi , thank you. I have been told by my solicitor that I have a good reason. First -my family applied for tourist visa last year with my documents. I was their sponsor. They use my permanent residence card and my payslips & bank statements to prove their sponsorship. And their Visa was granted ....
If you've been married 3 years and more and have both lived in the UK for at least, 1 year and living in the UK when the divorce happened then yes your parents can apply for retained rights. Good luck.
You have full custody with court papers for a minor child who is orphaned. I don't see any issues as you're now the minor child's legal guardian, so should be seen as your own child now.
If you're outside the UK for more than 5 years then your settled status will lapse. If you're returning for a day or two a year which really, you'll be using your settled status as a form of visit visa, it may be up to the officials at the border in the future as you're not living in the UK as a set...
Start looking for jobs already and switch to a work visa as soon as you can or check if you qualify under any other visas. Yes it's not as easy as it sounds but you still have the option to do so. I think you lose your rights immediately after you've split and can't show that you still reside togeth...
Hello, I have become a UK citizen a couple of months ago. Now, I want to bring my parents to the UK. They are citizens of Lebanon (so, not EU/EEA/Switzerland). I have heard that if a child is a UK citizen, his/her parents can obtain long-term visas (5 years) to visit the UK. So, I have two question...
Is the other parent of the British citizen child in the UK? Do they take any responsibility for the child? Hi, Yes the other parent is in the UK but the child, few months old is with the parent who needs the visa 24/7. The other parent isn't involved and doesn't support. Would this affect the visa ...
Hi and thank you for answering my first question. For my second question, I was asking specifically for just the life in the uk test if you're under the UK route. Does one need to apply for life in the UK test before or after applying for ILR? Thanks They have to pass the test before they're eligib...

Hi Can a non-EU parent of a British citizen child with no legal status apply for family visa and if so, what type of visa to apply for. Is it the 5 year visa route family visa? Or is the only option asylum route as the relationship has broken down due to domestic violence after living with British p...
Hi 1. When is the time to sit the life in the UK test if one is on the EU route? Is it when they have the pre-settled status and they are about to apply for the settled status or is it after they have applied for the settled status. 2. For the non-EU ILR route. Do you sit the test before you apply f...
I don't think they submitted false declaration as the first one they were living together still. The second one the spouse doesn't want to sign and so told authority that the Irish spouse refuse to sign and inform of latest change in their circumstance. So it is not false declaration as it is not s...
If the marriage de-facto no longer subsist it will be a false declaration. At any time in the future your estranged husband can admit that you weren't in fact living as a husband and spouse at the time of declaration. This can result in prosecution and/or serious fine. The application form does not...
As you're saying "on the island of Ireland", does that mean the residence period was in NI? If yes, then I'm afraid there's no path for them (see below for declaration wording). They'd have to live in ROI to rack up reckonable residence themselves. Otherwise, 5 years in ROI should be enou...
hello! What happens if Irish spouse refuses to sign the declaration form for spouse of Irish citizenship after being married for 5 years and living on the island for 5 years? Does spouse still qualify for Irish citizenship? The declaration was initially signed but due to domestic violence, one spous...
Hi, You need to let HO know of your change in circumstances as your status is based on her being your sponsor so that once you apply for retained rights and it's granted, you won't need your spouse' details when the time comes to apply for settled status hence the importance of notifying the HO now....
This is interesting as UK plan to stop issuing residence cards from 2024 so this might be issues that a lot of visa required nationals to the UK will be experiencing
If you’ll be living and working abroad and then been away from the UK, you’ll be classed as resident in the country where you spend the most time. If you’re outside the UK for 2 consecutive years and more, you’ll lose your presettled status. If you’ll be back and forth and spending only short visits...
