They reject citizenship claims where one has caused oneself to become stateless after 4 July 2002. That’s clear under s.4B, British Nationality Act 1981. On ILR, it’s more complex. There’s no provision allowing BOCs to apply for ILR; they applied outside the Rules for discretionary leave to re...
I suppose I wonder . . . if the AIT cannot decide complex and difficult cases, then what precisely is it there for ? :twisted: But that's another issue. If AIT upholds the HO appeal on a poor argument and it gets into the courts (a 100% certainty), the judges will not be impressed. On the other hand...
As to the marriage side of things, I don't know. I'd be interested to hear the solicitor's reasoning but in any event I suggest paying £10 and doing a Subject Access Request (SAR). If you do this the Home Office has to send you copies of everything on the person's file within 40 days. This may reve...
Why does he want the BOC ? It is a route to nowhere. After 4 July 2002 until late 2004, some BOCs got ILR via the discretionary leave to remain rules. I assume that is what he has his hopes set on? However, that option is dead; Home Office is not processing the claims and seems unlikely to do so aga...
Dad is born in Penang therefore his children are eligible for BOC application. There's 3 kids in the family. The youngest is not qualified as he is born in 1984 so only the two eldest applied. Both of them got their BOC within a year and then proceed with the application for ILR and citizenship. One...
Hi all My case with AIT under BOC case. It's been a while and waiting for an answer from the tribunal or HO. Did apply for ILR under BOC and after 40 months of hoping , praying and drooling over the outcome, HO decides to reject us last october and no appeal, and solicitor advise to join the AIT ap...

Long-stay rules: There is no provision discussed anywhere within the documents or the draft bill for the 10 or 14 year rules. It seems as if everything is being directed towards "permissions" based upon work, family reunification, and asylum. The logic is that one must get into one of tho...
Hi guys, just remembered i got this email from BHC in msia on BOC query. just wanted to share and fyi for others. Unquote: I guess if that anyone applies this BOC passport, a trigger might be sent to NRD to renounce ur malaysian citizenship. Thanks for the information. As for a trigger? After the L...
I wonder at this point, with immigration being so Europe-focussed whether any wider group would make much progress on the concerns of the various groups. However, at the moment, these issues seem to be a series of competing ethnically based agendas . . . making it easy for any Home Secretary or HO s...
What about the situation where they reject your citizenship and tell you to go to Croydon and apply for ILR instead and there's a two week gap ? Does that period suddenly stop the clock?
Your 10-year ILR clock stopped in Mar-May 05 when you cancelled your appeal. It may be difficult to register yourself as a British Citizen because you made yourself intentionally stateless. Does the ILR clock for the ten year lawful residence stop when a person does somethng like vary or resubmit a...
It's a real mess, but it will have to be sorted out sometime.
