Thanks all for your replies. Appreciated.
The question someone raised was about the BC obtained by naturalization.
I agree that based on the absences only, BC can not be revoked.

Hello Friends,

Someone mentioned that British Citizenship acquired after Naturalization can be revoked if one is out of country for 2 yrs. in one go? I know this is the case for ILR but not sure for BC.
Sounds not right, but please enlighten me on this please.

Thanks a lot Casa for your quick reply.

Hi All,

Is it Ok to apply family visit visa for wife (we just married 2 months ago), before spouse visa is applied?
This is due to the fact the it takes long for spouse visa, due to English test etc. Are there any complications in spouse visa if visit visa is applied earlier.

regards

Kaydee

Hello Char,

No. Kids are not UK born. They are India born.

They could be hoping to apply for child student visas if they qualify. Unlikely they will be able to re-enter the UK on spouse/child visas. Did the wife and children get ILR or not? How long have they been out of the UK? Has your 'friend' divorced the wife? How long have they been separated? Thanks...
