Many thanks! It is most helpful!

Hello, I got the above on my Council Tax bill. I told twice to Council officials that I am on a visa and have no access to public funds. They told me the discount is not public funds. Today i searched and found: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/public-funds--2/public-funds In the link coun...

Thank you, Motaco!
I hope your visa will be granted soon too!

Many thanks, will we not run into a problem? I don't want cause any trouble for my friends who are also immigrants. Equally, I wish to avoid any problems myself. I wonder if I would be queried at the border about how many nights my child spent there.

Hello, My child, who became recently British, had to go ahead of me to the UK. First, the child attended a residential language course for three weeks. Thereafter, I arranged for the child to stay with my friends. Tomorrow (Friday) will be the 28th night. When my child crossed British border, I got ...

Hello,

I collected my passport today with visa granted. It took slightly over a month.
I wish everyone good luck with their application.

It's because Russia and Belarus signed a United State Treaty. But citizens of each country remain citizens of their respective countries i.e. Russia and Belarus.

Also please note the FMS has been recently liquidated as an independent authority and merged with the Police. Is she ever applies for a British passport, all her ID documents, including Russian ones, must bear the same name. She may be refused otherwise.

Hello, I can comment on point 1 (registration). You have to register within 7 days upon arrival to Russia. You don't register your visa but the fact of your stay at a particular address. That's why Zags said you don't have to register your visa (and they are right about this). Your fiance has to mak...

Hello Motaco88,

I am in the same boat as you and I used Priority option.
Biometrics taken on 25/08/2017
Supporting documents sent by solicitors, not sure when received.
Is your application Standard or Priority?

Thank you for opening this thread.

Thank you very much Casa!

Hello, I had a brief phone chat with a solicitor discussing Priority Settlement Visa options. Solicitor told me that as of last week or so there has been a change in visa applications rules meaning that documents will go to Sheffield now and I should look that any my such priority application would ...

Many thanks!

Hello,

We are waiting for my child's UK passport to arrive (hopefully!). I got a text message from DHL about a parcel, the sender is DDGS C/O from UK. It will be delivered to a Visa Centre and I am yet to travel there.
Any ideas what does DDGS C/O stand for?

Thank you very much.

Wait for further advice on your options.

Thank you, from my income and savings.

Hello, We are indeed awaiting the child's British Passport and child was registered as a BC. I do have sole responsibility, and we both reside overseas. The child would have to travel to the UK alone first, I am thinking of a residential holiday camp or something to that effect. And then I would lik...

Thank you so much Casa!

Perhaps I need to clarify that I would apply from outside of UK.

Will the form you gave link still apply to me?

Does this form would apply to me:

Hello,

Which visa application form would I need to use for a Family life as a parent (5-year route) visa?
I have searched the web and am still confused.

Thank you!

I do have sole responsibility, thank you very much for your help!

Hello, I am starting to fill in the application for my child's first British passport. On page 2, Section 4 the form asks for the Father's British passport number, which I don't know and am not in the position to ask from the Father. What should I state? I do have details of his previous passport bu...

I must confess that the principle of a right of abode sticker makes no sense to me. My understanding is that anyone born since 1983 who holds right of abode in the UK is a British citizen, so such a sticker screams 'I am a British citizen'. A lot depends on what is meant by 'Uzbekistan does not rec...

Hello, My child was recently registered as a British citizen (Form UKF=UKFather) and we have received the Certificate of Registration. My child was born in Uzbekistan and holds Uzbek passport. Uzbekistan does not recognize dual citizenship. Does it make sense to apply for a Right to Abode sticker to...
