@Krishnam: There's nothing of help to you in this post, I'm afraid. Third, the COE is not evidence of citizenship, it is evidence of the right of abode. The former derives from the British Nationality Act, the latter from the Immigration Act. Someone under 30 can only have RoA if he is a British ci...

Since we are engaging in a bit of pedantry here (and I hope we're not hopelessly confusing the initial poster here): Being utterly pedantic, but regulations are not statute . They might be part of the law, but they are not statute . In English law, "Statute" only refers to Acts of Parliame...

In addition, the internal UKVI guidance to entry clearance officers requires " evidence that the relationship is genuine and subsisting - examples of this include evidence of cohabitation such as joint tenancy or mortgage agreements, utility bills, bank statements (this is not an exhaustive li...

The above is wrong. Firstly COE to a right of abode, it is not hideously expensive compared to an entry clearance, which is 4- 5 times that amount , and there is nothing barring a British Citizen having a CEO and also a British Passport. A COE is put in a foreign, and it acts as a proof of a person...

Hi, I was unclear about this too, but having researched this on here I am pretty certain you just need to send them one of your UK degree certificates and that should do it. I have a related question that someone may be able to answer: I also have a UK university degree and I am presented with the ...

Some people give their employer's PAYE ref, others the accounts ref, some both. Self-employed people will usually use UTR. Your tax and NIC records are linked to your NI number, Q.1.49 is really an atavistic leftover. Any of the available refs should be fine. If the applicant is a recently registere...

One of my family friends got two NCP Parking Charge notices for driving the car into NCP parking area to pick her husband.Both of them were not aware of this as they moved to the city recently. She waited to pick her husband once for about 20 minutes and second time for about 35 minutes, but never ...

Any ideas ? Must be frustrating! Given that it's August I would normally have put it down to the summer months, but six weeks for a JCAP application is excessive. As Richard W correctly points out, as a matter of practice you can safely use your EU passport to travel in and out of the UK. No need t...

Hi, I got British Passport through naturalisation and my wife got ILR. My wife got pregnant in UK but we went to India for delivery of a baby. We applied for my kids British passport on 22nd Feb. Since 3 months my application got stuck with Overseas team for overseas checks. Not sure how long still...

Silverchloride, do not waste time (and money, depending on the local authority) on rescheduling the NCS appointment. The NCS has given you the correct information about the 10 day waiveable period. Nationality Instructions Chapter 18 Annex 2, para.7.5(c) provides: " Discretion to disregard imm...

Hi Guys Thanks for your reply. (UK entry clearance officers have never been interested in things like Skype, WhatApp and phone contact (whether that is reasonable is a different matter). Documentary evidence is required. This is, first and foremost, a marriage certificate) That is not the case, the...

To Indguru90, Thirdly, there have been reports of employers (unlawfully) querying EEA nationals' right to reside, and having a DCPR can help allay some of those concerns. Being British myself does not really affect me as much but above is nothing but a direct discrimination against EU Citizens. Bus...

Hi, I am an EEA national who has been living in UK for 4 years. I am a 3rd year university student and I've lived in London with my parents and two younger brothers. My father has been a licensed worker during the 4 years. (purple certificate for Croatian nationals) Recently my brother and I applie...

I am Danish citizen living in uk since july last year. I have had full time job in same company I worked for back in DK since I have moved. I applied first time in april for my wife whose not a eea citizen. They rejected the visa after 14 days on totally nonsense arguments like whatSapp history was...

Hi Need expert advise on my case. I was a student in 2010-11 and have worked for more than 20 hours in 1 week.. Can that be an issue for the BC? Can I breakdown the week or it has to be Mon-Sun when it's said weekly. . Please advise Technically this was a (minor, one-off) breach of the Immigration ...

I keep wondering whether it is worth applying for PR as the result of Brexit. The future status of those having exercised their Treaty Rights for five years will be ask to apply again for the settled status once the UK leaves the EU. Double the money; double the trouble and anxiety given that at th...

Hi all, I know this may seem a little like a ridiculous question, but seeing how badly the AN Form is designed and how badly trained the HO staff appear to be, the below has me slightly worried. You haven't even submitted your application yet and are already banging on about "how badly trained...

Thank you for your response. I think what is not clear in the HO guidelines is what is the conviction date. I can only see offence date in my driving license, which has expired after 3 years, however the conviction date could well be within 3 years.. Therefore the question would remain in this case...

Good Morning Kiwi, I think you've got to check very well the regulations because as you describe your case, my opinion is that you have retained right of residence according to the regulation 10 (6). For that reason you fulfill the requirements of the regulation 15 (1) (page 25) that is permanent r...

First, check if your case is still awaiting a decision: https://contact-ukvi.homeoffice.gov.uk/app/visa_application/checkvisastatus. If so, you may consider sending an email to nationalityenquiries@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk, stating your Ref. and outlining the situation. Technically, your obligation of ...

I heard that after not having lived in the country for 5 years I wont be entitled to any benefits? (I guess that's understandable). If so what would one need to do to fix that? Are there any other issues I'd need to be aware of when returning? Is the 5 year limit correct? Thank you. No. You will ho...

Thanks very much! I've emailed them now... not impressed that they didn't know this basic info. You were probably dealing with someone from the council call centre. The trained nationality advisors do not take appointment calls. Just to clarify some of the points raised in this thread: an applicati...

I have applied for naturalization in June 2017 . i had one PND for shoplifting in 2010 and similarly i had three points on my license same year due to using mobile phone while driving which was FPN. and i had couple of parking tickets during the same period . i haven't declared anything as i have p...

Hi All, I've been looking at the forum for days now but my question, while it has been asked many times from other people, it has never been answered. I have a driving conviction from court for SP30 (speeding), 3 points in license and £80 fine. The offence occurred more than 3 years ago and I curre...
