When my daughter was born in UK she was issued an Indian passport in London with a validity of 5 yrs. The passport has expired early this year and I just noticed it! I am planning to apply for her naturalization through MN1 for her. Is it ok to make the naturalization application without renewing th...

Re: Naturalization: Is resident status violated if absence was greater than 180 days at a stretch?

I suspect that the solicitor is making the same mistake that others on these forums make; treating naturalisation as an immigration application. Naturalisation is made under different laws and rules and is not a part of the immigration pathway, which ends at ILR. The five year residence requirement...

Naturalization: Is resident status violated if absence was greater than 180 days at a stretch?

I am planning to apply for Naturalization after living in UK on my ILR that was issued on 30 Apr 2018. In the last 5 years I have 2 absences from UK - one for 386 days and the other for 60 days; that is a total of 446 days which meets the 450 days requirement. My most recent arrival date to UK is 09...

Re: URGENT HELP IHS SURCHARGE !

So what should one do with this button when they are on ILR? If they click the button the system is making wrong judgement and if we do not click this button, would we become target for the aligation of not entering material information? - The question clearly says "CITIZEN" only. It dosen...

Re: Applying for ILE for children born in UK from outside the country

There are some questions around this, 1) For applying as a child, - Would my child (who was born in the UK) be subject to maintenance and accomodation requirements like in the case of a child that was born outside the UK ? 2) To register the child, - Can I apply to register from outside the UK? - Wo...

Re: What is my status after visa expiry when awaiting JR

When leave expires without the holder making an in-time valid application, the holder would become an overstayer .

I was reading the FAQ section and I found the following passage. This says application can be made from anywhere. Is that obsolete now? As far as the biometrics are concerned, HO is collecting biometrics for even tourists. They do it in the the VFS centers. My parents did that only 3 months back. UK...
