Unmarried Partner and EU Settlement Scheme

Hello, Is it possible to use the EU Settlement Scheme to have my unmarried partner to join me in the UK? We met before the 31 December 2020 deadline but we've never lived together. I am wondering if she can join me in the UK by using the EU Settlement Scheme and how we can prove we have been togethe...

Proof of Settled Status for Naturalisation

Good afternoon, In the naturalisation application, I am asked if I am a EU citizen and if I used my Indefinite Leave to Remain, including ILR granted under the EU Settlement Scheme, to apply for British Citizenship. I put "yes" and added the date when my Settled Status was granted. However...

Re: Marital status "unmarried partner"

Thank you for this. How can I prove that I have settled status? There is no paper document to prove it.

I have not seen any reports about applicants having issues around this topic, i.e. UKVI questioning the details.

Re: Marital status "unmarried partner"

So I guess it's fine if I just put "unmarried partner"? Thanks Marital status has no impact on the naturalisation applications - UKVI do not judge you on your arrangements. For future visa applications for your girlfriend she will have to satisfy the immigration requirements in force at th...

Marital status "unmarried partner"

Good evening, I've completed the naturalisation application but I have some doubts about the marital status part of the form. I am wondering if someone can tell me what kind of impact the marital status can have on the application. I currently have girlfriend but I was tempted to leave the marital s...

Re: 10 year employment history and parking/fixed penalties abroad

I thought it would make more sense when I become eligible. Although I am filling the form in only now, I will be eligible only from November 12, so I thought it's better if those documents are dated after I apply or, at least, after I become eligible. Personally I would contact your employers' HR no...

Re: 10 year employment history and parking/fixed penalties abroad

Yes, I did. It was a Master in Law. Thank you! Once I have submitted the application, is there a maximum time I can wait between the application and the fingerprint/documents appointment?

Re: 10 year employment history and parking/fixed penalties abroad

What I mean is, by providing the flight tickets, I can show that I visited different countries during the same trip without coming back to the UK. Not sure it makes sense? Or better not? Also, does a 1 year master of laws obtained at Queen Mary - University of London in 2010 suffice to prove my know...

Re: 10 year employment history and parking/fixed penalties abroad

I split the trip into pieces as shown before and I'd attach all the flights. Would this also be an option?

In the form just show the first country and the number of total days.
For peace of mind you could attach the detailed listing showing all countries.

Re: Letters from former employers - date of issue - help

To build on @alterhase58's response, it is a naturalisation requirement that the Home Office has no discretion to ignore (because no discretion to disregard it was given in the BNA 1981, as @alterhase58 mentioned above) and failing to meet it means automatic refusal (and no refund of fees either, s...

P60s for the qualifying period only are enough. I've asked you a question about the qualifying period under a different post. What does it happen if a person was abroad at the beginning of the qualifying period? You know, I didn't know about such a rule. A friend of mine had an issue about it, whic...

Re: Letters from former employers - date of issue - help

On the face of it the letters should be ok - unfortunately there's no guidance in terms of when they should be issued, but if you think about it, a P60 issued five years ago will still be accepted. And it seems those employers are probably still in business so can easily be traced. I don't believe ...
