Born abroad to British father, how can I pass it on more than one generation

I've emigrated to Canada and wish to continue British nationality for my children's children. I understand its supposed to stop after my kids get it (unless they give birth in the UK). So my question is basically how can I bend the rules to enable this to happen? I was considering registering the bi...

Being employed in the UK while waiting for a Surinder Singh application decision

Hi, My wife submitted a request for a EEA FP as the non-EEA wife of me, a BC, from an EEA country under the Surinder Singh route. She was granted a 6 month work visa (Nov 2020-April 2021). I thought this was very easy to renew online, but have discovered I need to submit a paper application to Liver...

Re: SURRINDER SINGH TO EU SETTLEMENT IN 3 WEEKS!!!

I have requested the Surinder Singh paper form from the EUSS phone centre. I hope my non-EEA spouse is able to get the settlement in a fast period of time.

Re: Is priority unavailable for the EEA Family Permit?

Passport with visa sticker received back today (visa granted).

On the paper returned someone had crossed out "priority" with pen and wrote Refund.

So I will be chasing them up for it if they do not issue refund.

Re: Is priority unavailable for the EEA Family Permit?

I may be wrong, but I can't recall any application under EEA regulations being reported as made under "Priority and Super Priority services". You can select priority when you book an appointment. The payment (250euro) supposedly goes to UKVI, however my bank charge was to "Teleperfor...

Biometrics, then upload documents? or other way around?

Hi, my wife is booked in to do her biometrics on Monday morning, and we're just wondering what do we do about the documents to be uploaded onto the TLScontact website? We paid priority (£220gbp). Am i right in thinking that the application is sent off to UKVI whenever both the documents plus the bio...

Hi, i'm applying for the EEA FP. There seems to be some conflicting information about the translation of documents that I need to produce to the UK Home Office. What kind of translation standards do they require exactly? Does the Home Office accept translations from anyone calling themselves a trans...
