Hi everyone, Can someone help with this question; Can I be accepted on NHS bursary as a spouse of a british citizen with a child. I dont have ILR yet, my current visa status is residence permit (S/P LR), although I've been living in the uk for more than 3 years and I have already been offered a pla...

do you know the very latest you could make this switch during the period of a DLR visa...i.e no later that the 1st year of DLR 2nd year? He could apply out of country anytime on his DLR, it doesn't matter if its the first year or second. Thanks, so anytime within the three year period is fine? Also...

PS. I also stand corrected if I am wrong.

I thought DL to Spouse switch had to be done out-of-country, but like the man in the orthopaedic shoes, I stand to be corrected..... This is my understanding too. It is not possible to switch from DLR to a spouse visa in country. Extract from UKBA site: On 1 October 2004, Command Paper 6339 introdu...

PS. Thats assuming you have plenty of family in SA to stay with! No need to spend money on accommodation.

Alternatively, just apply directly in SA. My cousin flew to SA from Zim on Monday, applied online same day, had biometrics on Tuesday (strange as I thought it was a holiday), visa granted by this morn. Flying out tonight, will be arriving tomorrow morn. Pretty efficient even if I do say so myself. T...

This is correct about passport applications. OP is not asking about the passport application. He is asking about naturalisation.

OP's thread title clearly says passport app question.

You are still failing to take into account that it is the status .... "legal" or "illegal" ..... in the 5-year qualifying period that matters. Please take into account that the OP has been "legal" since 2004. Again, please read the link to the UKBA document I provided....

Thanks John. Was hoping you would give an advise. Is there a difference if the ILR was granted within or outside the immigration rules? His one is outside of immigration rules and that's the only thing we worry about. Don't want to put forward the naturalization application and loose the money.. ma...

I have been living in London for the past eleven years, the first two years I was here as a working holidaymaker type visa (I'm South African). I returned home for six weeks, and then re-entered the country on a 6 month visitors visa, and have just stayed here ever since. My husband entered the cou...

And that's 6 years if you're on DLR, especially as you were in breach prior to the grant. Unless you return to your country of origin and switch to a spouse visa which reduces the time considerably.

So, you are going to US then you require 1. Proof of citizenship. This can be a previous passport or a certified (with a raised seal stamped into the paper) copy of your birth certificate. 2. Two identical two-inch square photos, color or black and white, with a white background, and a facial image...

Thanks mrlookforward. Hi Thandia, I don't think that manager require any specific professional qualification. I can't see anything in the guide about the qualification required for the manager. If it is an engineer, they need a professional qualification to act as a referee. Anyway thanks for your ...

I think its very clearly mentioned in form AN as to who is acceptable as a referee and what details are required. I suggest you go through the form again. Hi mrlookforward, Thanks for your reply. Nothing is specific in the guide or form about referees. As per guide, a manager from a limited company...

Hi all, I came to this country as unaccompanied minor and sought asylum in 2004 and my application was refused but because was not yet 18 I was given a Discretionary Leave for one year. it expired and I made an extension to the home office to which I never got a reply. But my visa allowed me to wor...

I think as you are were not married to the fathers of the kids then by law you are the only one with parental responsibility unless the fathers has specifically applied for parental responsibility. You should explain this on the form. I know the NCS staff insist on the other parent's consent for ch...

I'm in a similar boat. They did update the settlement forms for ILR (e.g., SET(O) and SET(M)). But they didn't update AN. You know, they didn't say they were going to specifically update the AN form. They just said that updates in general were going to be made. From http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.u...
