Whatever you think, you are not eligible for citizenship. You have ILR so you can live here indefinitely without a 2 year break. Just follow the rules and the law. Dont demand anyting that u are not entitled to. Apply when the Govt tells you that u are now eligble. You seem to believe that you are ...

Hi All, First I will apply as per secret.simon's sage advice for new SAR. Very different options to why I was refused have been offered so let's see which it was to (possibly) be able and craft an NR response. I fully understand that ILR and BC are different rules, but clearly -there is also- plenty...

Have you had the time to go through your SAR report? Again, there are differences between an application being refused, rejected and found invalid. Find out if your FLR(O) application was invalid. A lot can turn on that. I would suggest studying the SAR report carefully before taking any further ac...

Thanks, CR001, ouflak1 and xavieryves. 1. I was never rejected (as per my understanding of the term) the FLR was varied, the t1-ext was refused, the appeal was rescinded. 2. Since I have no specific knowledge of what immigration law I broke should I follow xavieryves direction of asking for discreti...

Much thanks xavieryves, CR001 and secret.simon, Collectively I understand that: 1. Do not compare to the ILR situation, different rules. 2. Likely that some part of the period of extension is considered, though conjecture which actual part (the variation from FLR to PBS or the rescinding of the appe...

An invalid application does not look at the legality or the requirements of the application. It typically means that the application may have been incomplete, not signed, the fees failed to go through, photographs were the wrong size, that sort of thing. Also see Immigration Rule 34 about the valid...

It may be worth doing an SAR on the Home Office , which should give you a copy of the notes that the Home Office have on you. The impression that I get from your description is that it is likely that the FLR(O) application made on 18.8.2014 was judged invalid (as opposed to rejected). An invalid ap...

What date did the tier 1 expire in 2014, before you submitted the FLR(O) on 18th August 2014. As I said, you need to state ALL the start/expiry/application dates. By withdrawing your appeal, you became overstayers from the date your last visa expired. Your application for tier 1 again after withdra...

You need to state the dates or visa issue and expiry and the dates of each application you submitted over this period and the date of appeal withdrawal. Without these it is impossible for anyone to offer any advice. You do realise that the minute the appeal was cancelled by yourselves, your section...

What visa did you and your husband enter on? Was the extension application in 2014 made on or before the expiry of the previous visa? If it was later, even by a day, you would not be covered by Section 3C leave. Were any applications returned as invalid (not rejected)? What category of FLR did you ...

they must cite the immigration rule you violated, what is it? If not, how the caseworker said you breach the immigration rule.? "As you were in the UK in breach of immigration laws from 19.8.14 when your entry visa expired to 11.2.15 when you were granted further leave, this requirement is not...

Hi all, received refusal due to "breach of immigration law" specifically: As you were in the UK in breach of immigration laws from 19.8.14 when your entry visa expired to 11.2.15 when you were granted further leave, this requirement is not met. This was the period we extended T1 entreprene...

Passport Question:

In the paper form it asks (section 5) if I have a certificate of naturalisation. Do I just not answer this (rather than answer no)

How do I pay for this passport application.

What is the advantage of applying for PP along with BC rather then getting BC and then applying?

very helpful and yes, silly. For example I am asked how long and how I know referree and this form does not allow referee to confirm this data...

1. The referee signature page (where u attach photos) I thought it would come out already populated with my name and referee's name. it does not, it is empty and generic. Am I doing something wrong? You need to complete the referee part of the form online as far as I understand, including your refe...

I have 3 more questions (and real thanks to this forum for support) 1. The referee signature page (where u attach photos) I thought it would come out already populated with my name and referee's name. it does not, it is empty and generic. Am I doing something wrong? 2. I have 33 trips abroad but sys...

You can still utilise your appointment at NDRS if you apply online when you are back. You don't state the date you NDRS appointment is though?? I now have to delay BC application for the 5 year rule and miss the NDRS appointment. Thankfully my trip 5 years ago was short vacation only. I think my ma...

Thank you warmly CRoo1 and muraendie.

only reason is because I booked the copy service already. (and I am coming back late because of illness, this was not planned this way)

I guess losing the 60£ booking fee is not such big deal.

may I ask for answers to other questions?

Hi all, 1. I am currently outside UK flying back tomorrow. Can I apply today (online), as tomorrow will be date that I was out 5 years ago. I plan to go to document copying service within 10 days A few more questions: 2. As such what do I write about my return date (form allowing me to write tomorro...
