Re: Getting married to a UK national

Brilliant! thanks a for the replies, I'll relay that to him. If I remember correctly he had to sit in a HO recognised English language test just before he applied for the extension of his student visa in May 2014(which is still ongoing) so I'm guessing that'll do. Just a quick question about earning ...

Re: British passport to book tickets but travel on Pak passp

Your son does not actually need a Pakistani passport to travel if he's got nicop which they normally make before issuing passports. Nicop is valid for 10 years usually as far as I'm aware and is more than enough to prove that he's a Pakistani citizen and doesn't require a visa to travel to Pakistan ...

Re: Any drawback whilst applying by myself for naturalisatio

The only difference between using NCS and posting it yourself is that when using NCS you get to keep your original documents (passport etc).

Anything before expenses is your turnover not income.
You'd have to use your gross income (after expenses but before tax).

15th would still be counted as a day you were in the UK. You are not bound to stay in the UK for any number of days after you've submitted the application.

You can also ask neighbouring councils for NCS appointments if they have anything earlier. It doesn't have to be your local council.

I had my local pharmacist to sign for my kids MN1 form as the second referee. If your GP is charging £25 then I say go ahead with it.
You need two referees and only one of them have to be involved with the child in professional capacity.

Too close to call tbh even if you're going for same day service for your ILR. From the current timeline 2 months window to apply for naturalisation and then passport is a bit too tight. If you can't delay the travel then I would recommend getting him Indian passport and including him in your ILR ...

Re: Child born outside UK. Both parents settled, but only ap

From what I understand a naturalisation is an individual application and it shouldn't matter if the entire family isn't applying together. However, I would still recommend you attach a NOC from non-applying parent when applying for child. I was once asked to provide a NOC from my wife (basically a ...

Its not annoying if they said your application is not allocated to the caseworker because they never can allocate an application to any caseworker until his/ her checks been completed. I'm sure the checks are carried out AFTER the case has been allocated to a caseworker as s/he would be the one ...

Where I do not fully agree with home office racially profiling certain nationalities, I also admit that the argument does carry some weight seeing that the majority of the outstanding applications here are from Pakistani nationals.
