Assuming you are a visa national ... don't you need a valid visa to return to the UK from your country if you don't want to use your British passport? Could still show ILR even I guess if it was in an old passport. Obviously it wouldn't be valid, but I don't think it would be possible for other cou...
ILR at present is at it implies...Indefinate. However, as you've been advised, if you were to leave the UK for more than 2 years, you'd lose your ILR. At present, with ILR there is no obligation to apply for British Citizenship. However, when Probationary Citizenship replaces ILR in July 2011 (inte...

Unfortunately your mother is too young to get a visa as a parent unless she was living in most exceptional compassionate circumstances which you haven't suggested she is. Also the fact you want to bring her here to work won't help your case - full-time child care is work even if it is done by a rela...
Hi I am trying to find information on how long after obtaining a fiancee visa , fiancee needs to enter to Uk? someone told me its 28 days but after looking on the forum all I can find is for ILR not fiancee visa. M fiancee got his visa 10 nov 2009 and he was going to come on the 16 december as he i...
@djb123 I think most recently the application process has been very quick this might not show in the different processing times. but not long ago when it was taking months rather than weeks I think there may very well have been a more significant and more apparent difference between NCS and postal....
NCS doesn't speed it up, it's just any mistakes in the application may be spotted earlier. The Home Office deny that using NCS speeds matters up. However the evidence on Boards such as this is rather different. As I just said I know someone who didn't use NCS who got their application approved with...
Unless you are married to (or in Civil Partnership with) a British Citizen you must have had your ILR for at least one year when you apply for your Naturalisation. So question ..... when did you get your ILR? Go to this UKBA webpage , have a read of that, and then download the form AN and the Guide...
Did you apply for british citizenship first and include the naturalisation certificate you received at the ceremony with your passport application? If so you should receive a letter inviting you to arrange a passport identity interview fairly quickly, maybe within a few weeks or so.
Thanks guys much appriciated!!, I am having difficult quantifying what I needed to submit I think Ill now submit about 10. Would an email a-month over the last two years be sufficient as well as proofs for contact also am getting my last three months phone record should that be ok? Oh one more thin...
Yes Thank for clarifying! Is that really classified as knowing someone personally and being able "to give full details of their knowledge of the applicant;" if all they know about is your teeth (and they might not be allowed to reveal that information anyway)? GP'S are also acceptable, th...
Hey guys, am a new member to the forum, although I have been reading around the site for advice. Am Married to a British National, I am currently in the Caribbean, I want to submit my Vaf4a form ASAP. We are currently in the process of sorting out all documentations we will need as evidence when su...

we are the same gender yes, and it is not legal here-... In which case you've got no chance unless he somehow gets a work permit. Surely though if the OP was settled in the UK (or at least had a job offer in the UK), he could apply for a visa as a proposed civil partner. Then once they registered t...
Sorry I've got another question!! I've just read I can't register my marriage in the town where I will be living becuase is not one the 76 register offices that accept a notice from one of the parties who is a foreigner (me being chilean national), so I would like to know if it is possible to regis...
She would stand a very high risk of being refused entry as a visitor unless you can convince the IO that it is absolutely her intention to return to her country of origin at the end of the visit and there is no plan to do anything other than visit while she is here. Personally my advice would be to...
Martin Finance and accommodation are the big ones! Genuine relationship and intention to marry are the other two, crack those and u'll be fine! The intention to get marry is very hard to prove to the ECO !!!! I'm struggling on that one. Would some quotes of the possible wedding reception do ???? ch...
Im present and settle in the UK and we are going to look for her to stay here with me in the future following the right procedure with immigration rules after marriage! that is our case! thank you! You applied for the wrong visa then, and that may well be the reason why you were refused. The visa y...

Thank You! Was your i...
Hi! We have applied for marriage visa no a settlement one and we have been refused last week, we are now going to appeal against it, we dont know yet the reason why? (papr work on post)but that could take a long time for the appeal and my question is if its posible for her to come and stay with me ...
Hi! thank you for replaying; We didnt request for a settlement visa! we requested entry clearance for fiance marriage visa! We need to know about it so we can spend Xmas time together! Thank you! If you applied for a 6 month fiancee visa that allows you to come to the UK, get married, then apply fo...
Hello people! We still dont have back the paper work from visa service regarding the refusal for entry clearance to get married, We are going to appeal agaist it and this could take a long time I heard!; We are ver 21 and I just wonder if my fiancee can come as a visitor to stay with me until the a...
I think you will struggle with a family visit visa now as they are likely to refuse him on the grounds that they believe that he is unlikely to leave the UK before his visa expires.
