Will aprpeciate if anyone can confirm whether one can avail NCS service (for naturalisation application) offered by a council which is not the local council for the applicant.
Rather risking a rejection and re-applying, which will anyway cost you more money, time and stress it will make sense to apply it through a solicitor in the firsdt palce as you know there is a gap period involved.
It is your responsibility to keep a track of your visa eligibility and apply for extension before the earlier one expires. Try approaching a good lawyer and see if that helps.
Other co-members of the board will provide possible alternatives.
To get a job in UK, UK experience definitely matters a lot. As it is UK market now a days is a bit on the low. What is your area of expertise? Stating 7 years experience in JAVA does not give much information. You will need to provide information such as your experience is in the capacity of a progr...
Thanks John for your comments. I fully understand that not claiming benefits will not give us any "brownie point" (as you say) than if we had claimed them, and neither is our application more likely to get approved because of that. Although, thinking about it, it does not seem to be a bad ...
You are right. There is no reason not to claim; we just did not claim it.
If I understand it correctly claiming benefits is solely upto the individual and as such should not really have any impact on our naturalisation application. We decided not to claim any benefits until we gain citizenship.
We have never claimed tax credits or child benefit till date, and as my wife has never worked in the UK hence never felt a need to apply for NI number for my wife.
I've gone through a few of the old posts and have managed to find information leading me to believe that having NI number is not mandatory for a housewife applying for naturalisation who has never worked during her stay in the UK. Leaving NI number blank in Section 1 and specifying occupation as hou...
The reason being work culture and actual work. Here, usually no one talks to any one, very dull, calm and quite. No one takes tea/drink/lunch together. This is the situation in many company across UK, and I'm not saying in all the companies. No one can guarantee that the environment would be any di...
Going by the dates you mentioned it's only a couple of months to go before you can apply for naturalisation.
Any particular reason why you want to apply earlier than the stipulated period thus remaining at descretion of UKBA?
During 18 months my salary increased by 15 % and there was no promotion.
15% salary increase in 18 months !!! Irrespective of how efficient you are, to get this much hike I've to say you are damn lucky to work for such an employer.
1. Do I have to serve the entire 12 month period and then only put the notice period? 2. If I get another offer, can I put the notice period and leave immediately? 3. What should I say for the next company in case I had to come immediately, which I cannot do with the 1 month notice period? It depen...
One can only infer that he's AWOL, he is afraid he's been sacked (or he knows that already), and he's wondering if the employer has shopped him to UKBA. That is the reason I'd suggested OP to send a request to UKBA for SAR records to find out if his/her immigration status has changed in any way and...
