Re: Exemption from KoLL

Didnt she has to pass KoLL when she got her ILR? Probably you are already aware that she doesn't have to prove anything if she submit her application after her 65th birthday. No, there was no requirement for KoLL when we applied for her ILR in 2011. Yes I am aware that the requirement of KoLL is wa...

Re: Naturalisation Qualifying Period

Hmmm...that is interesting. I had a brief look at it. Will help as a sleeping aid for sure. I guess the hold the EU has on us is something we are all aware of and choose to ignore. The EU argument is a simple one for me to be honest. I was thinking about it just this morning. The Remain campaigns ar...

Re: Naturalisation Qualifying Period

Thanks Noajthan and Secret Simon. I just saw Secret Simons reply. Buddy you answered my question and then some. As it had gone to the second page I missed it. You have now given me much needed clarity about the Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Act 2009 as well as the workings of the forums. I am...

Thanks Noajthan...I picked up and thanked you for your earlier reply, but as you were the only one who had replied, about it all seeming in order, we just wanted a bit more assurance before we bit the bullet! When you say hive mind, does it mean that the mods consult and reach a conclusion. If so, t...

Re: Naturalisation Qualifying Period

The guy is a 70 year old cancer patient who has luckily gone into remission last year. He would like to use this window of opportunity to travel the world (which is one thing he loves to do) without all the visa issues he faces on his current Pakistani passport. And time is of the essence for him be...

Hi I am just getting back as I am still a little uncertain about this.

I have seen plenty of spouse cases (3 year period) on this...

Thanks for shedding light on that CR001. I would really appreciate it if a couple of people in the know double check my situation and let me know if I'm on the right track. Could someone also clarify my confusion about the requirements of Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Act 2009. When I read it...

Re: Naturalisation Qualifying Period

Actually its not that complicated to be honest. All I really need to know is whether the current applicable rules are as per Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Act 2009 which need you to have a "qualifying immigration status for the whole of the qualifying period" or the rules are still ...

Re: Naturalisation Qualifying Period

With regard to switching him from being on Visit to ILR, we did through our solicitor with a whole bunch of supporting documentation in 2011. Went with no questions or enquiries whatsoever. I know its uncommon and we are rather proud at having accomplished it!

Me and my brothers are all Naturalized Brits. When my father turned 65 we applied for him and my Mom to get ILR based as our dependants. Hope that clarifies and makes sense!

Re: Naturalisation Qualifying Period

Hi Noajthan

Yes. The facts provided above are accurate. He has ILR as stated above. He has it in the form of a Residence Permit stuck in his passport not a BRP Card, as he got it just before Home Office started doing Biometric Cards.

He has a clean immigration history and is of good character with no civil or criminal issues. He had a Multiple entry Visit Visa and this was just one of many visi...
