Naturalisation is not on the immigration pathway (which ends at ILR), but is a separate process under different laws, with different requirements. There is no priority service for naturalisation. And the six month period is an aspiration, not a hard-and-fast rule. There has been one case on these f...

Hi I received an email telling me to switch to eVisa as I have BRP. I have done all the steps correctly only to find out that the eVisa relates to my previous Global Talent Visa rather than my current ILR! although I used the ILR BRP number not the Global Talent Visa BRP number when I have done the ...

Hi
I obtained my ILR on the 27/12/2023

Does that mean I can apply for Citizenship on the 27/12/2024 or the 28th?

Also, can I submit the application earlier than the 27/12/2024 but do the biometrics appointment on or after the 27th?

Thanks

Agree with you understanding, but referees have to sign a form each which you upload with the other documents.

Many thanks, can I ask please where is that form? I will then let the referees fill and sign.

I assume you're applying for MN1 - Registration as British Citizen. It's a frequent issue, professionals working with children are not keen to give their personal details or passport numbers. UKVI are aware of this. They will accept referees who are normally used for adult applications. The referee...

Hi I have a child born in the UK and we the parents both have ILR. When we asked our child's teacher and the nurse who have dealt with him, they refused to provide the informaiton required to use citing data privacy issues, can I ask please what to do in this situation? I am sure if we ask his Docto...

Hi

I filled SET O - Global talent route to ILR and I only have payment options Standard service and Super priority service. Can I ask please if I try later, is there a chance to get the 'Priority' appears rather than Super priority?

thanks

Hi, did you receive a response?

Can I ask please if you stated in the application that you also work/worked as a self employed? I did not. I stated that I was employed. Anyways, I just ended up uploading my 2 P60 forms twice. Not that it mattered in the end, ILR got approved on the same day. Thanks everyone for the help! Congratu...

Hi everyone. I scoured the board for answers but wasn't able to find any - so decided to open a new thread. I've recently completed an application form for ILR coming from Global Talent Visa, combined with Tier 2 (General). In the document checklist, it's asking for the following two pieces of evid...

You should NOT get immigration advice from your doctor. Your visa condition specifically prevents you from getting any public funds for yourself or your kids. This can affect your ILR as you have made the claim on behalf of your son. You must write back and explain that the application was made in ...

Lawyers don't always know what they are talking about Hi Char and zimba Another question please if I may. The HO caseworker emailed saying: “please can you provide an explanation of why you have claimed Disability Living Allowance for your son when your conditions state you are not allowed to claim...

Dependant on its own usually refers to the spouse. Child dependents simply follow their parents and settle when parents settle as they do NOT even have residence requirements. The rules do NOT allow the children to overtake their parent's visas! The rules are specific and you cannot simply hope to ...

So, in this, should I tell the caseworker please to withdraw the application? and we (parents) apply for ILR normally then apply for Son citizenship once we get the ILR even if Son overstayer? Yes. You cannot extend Sons visa without extending mother's visa, the rules don't allow it You have also b...

A UK born child has an entitlement to register as British and does not need a valid visa to do that. The issue you have is once the visa expires, free NHS service no longer apply, so get health insurance. Not having a valid visa has no effect on his entitlement to apply for citizenship and will not...

Yes Hi Zimba Please I have another urgent question. Before a month, I applied to extend my son's dependent (on skilled worker) visa which ends on 28/12/2023 to be in line with my GTV end date which is 24-11-2024. However, I did not extend his Mother's visa which end on 28/12/2023. The reason I did ...

You may apply earlier. How to apply early and benefit from the date of the ILR decision ? Hi zimba, many thanks for your reply. Having read the post you mentioned, I am a bit confused please. We received the decision of the skilled worker visa (email from home office) on the 20-Jan-2021 as well. Do...

Hi I have GTV (UKRI route) and I am eligible for applying for ILR after 3 years. I was on a Skilled Worker visa ( issue date 20-Jan-2021) and before that date on a Tier 4 student. I switched to GTV and issued on 24-Nov-2022. I will meet the 3 years requirement for ILR on 20-Jan-2024 ( by combining b...

No evidence is needed. Simply provide copies of your passports, covering the last 5 years Many thanks zimba.

The rules simply need your dependants to have been granted permission as the dependant partner or child of the lead applicant (i.e. YOU). They could even be on a different dependant visa route. So as long as they have been here 5 years as your dependant, they qualify :D Last grant settlement requir...
