Hi all, My understanding of the process: I need to take IELTS first and create a express entry profile. If I meet the eligibility criteria (67/100), I will be entered into a pool. I need to then keep applying for jobs in the jobs bank. Once I have a job offer, I will be "invited to apply"....

Yes, I submitted the birth certificate. But the birth certificate itself doesn't prove nationality - does it? Its the birth certificate + parents status at the time of birth. No problems for the passport now. My question is for future. Say 20 yrs down the line, will my child ever be asked to prove h...

Hi all, My baby was born in the UK when my husband and I were on ILR. Our naturalisation application was being processed then. Our application was later approved and we both are now British. We applied for the baby's passport - we sent my ILR BRP to prove my status when he was born. I need to return...

THis is a new rule introduced in Jan 2016. I don't think it'll be a problem for you.

Buying non refundable tickets based on neighbours timelines ! Its not a very wise move - in my opinion. Hope it all turns out ok for you. Did you use NCS for applying? In that case, u have their passports and existing visas? If yes, they are free to travel on the existing visas while their applicati...

I don't know which one worked, but someone called us this morning to confirm that I can keep the BRPs until I get the baby's passport. I know this doesn't help your case, but I just wanted to let you know that atleast one of th...

Vinny, do you think my baby will need to prove his claim to citizenship even after getting a passport?

Vinny, sorry I didnt understand what you are trying to say...

Thanks CR001. I just thought we'd apply for the passports together. I didn't anticipate this situation at all ! I am wondering if I can postpone my ceremony for another 2 weeks and get a emergency passport for my baby? this takes a week. (same day service is not available for child first passport). ...

In this case, will I not be fined as I wont be able to return the BRP within 5 days?

Is it advisable to get a written exemption in my case? If yes, can anyone please give me an email id or phone number?
