You might find people in your organisation who are Charted Engineers. They are on the list. AFAIK you don't really need a chartered one! As I read "member, associate or fellow of a professional body", hence just an associate should be enough (in my case was a professional member, but not ...

Actually, my countersignatory was a member of the BCS.

Mostly Asia and Turkey, so not in the EU :( I looked at partner visas but they are all for long term stays and I just want to travel in Europe with my husband :( We live on the edge of Europe (Turkey). What would be the best visa for this situation? Merhaba Akta, I sort of think that after the marr...

they called me back I am 100% sure I called them first, I was in Reading at the Oracle, just repairing from the rain under Jamie Oliver's restaurant (but I was lunching at Las Iguanas), then they called me back in a couple of days, but I am not 100% sure if, after I told them I wished to go private...

Any thoughts? I went through the same process. I got the invitation letter in December, I called Winchester, they called me back, offering dates and sites for few public ceremonies around the Hamps, the closest date of which was the exact anniversary of the third month of the invitation letter date...

In hindsight she could have saved the visas fees and apply for a British passports from South Africa. I wonder why the British Consulate in SA didn't spot that. I mean, it is not rocket science, if the kids of a British citizen who was born in the UK are asking visas, shouldn't that raise at least ...

if they are british by descent, am i correct in saying that they cannot pass on their citizenship? In the general case, as far as I know they can pass on their citizenship if their kids are born in the UK, and they may pass on their citizenship on other cases as well (i.e. registration under sectio...

The term is technically correct, I agree with Gyfrinachgar, but I would have personally used "natural" or "born out of wedlock".

From your other posts in the EEA section, it seems that your PR was confirmed following an undocumented exemption of CSI. If you are referring to the exemption for those who asked a RC before a certain date, I thought that was documented. I don't have a link handy now, but I sort of remember readin...

About the passport application, the check and send service refused that because I did write a few characters out of the allotted boxes in the other information section, and because I did strike ou...

In many languages (French, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, ...) the acronym for EU is UE. In some languages is even more unexpected (e.g. AB in Turkish!) for the English speaker.

Out of curiosity, what were you studying?

I can see why you suggested the AAE3 form now, but I still don't understand why I wouldn't need it and why my partner would. Abstracting from your specific cases, I suppose that may be because if a case is straightforward, say an EEA citizen has got the last consecutive 6 years of P60 and whatelse,...

For the PR, I am not sure how. Isn't the Aug 2009-Aug 2010 too big a hole? I re-read with full attention the Guidance Notes for applying as a European national , and at pag. 6 I found: Additionally, a single absence of a maximum of 12 months for important reasons such as pregnancy, child birth, ser...

He should be able to secure PR and also claim those benefits. For the benefits, my understanding is as well that he should be able to claim the Contribution-based Jobseeker's Allowance without breaking immigration law. At the moment he is trying to get another job without claiming those, but I susp...

I hope you realise that your certificate will be with your local council and you might need to inform them if you would like to have your Ceremony anywhere else. I am not sure. I did my NCS appointment in the county where I work, and in the AN form I filled some fields requesting to hold the ceremo...

So you know too much information about your eu friend and its non-partner too. Why either of them cannot ask the same directly. Well, I did forewarn they are good friends, and clearly I know a lot more about them, I would expect them to know a lot about me as well :) They could obviously ask themse...

A good friend of mine, EU citizen, has recently been made redundant for no fault of its own. My friend is married with a non EEA citizen, who recently got its residence card through an EEA2 application. My friend non EEA spouse is currently working, and my understanding is that it may be getting a s...

Some very troubling news out of the UK: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/9783545/David-Cameron-we-will-keep-out-EU-benefit-tourists.html I think the bone of contention is: "Should we look at arguments about, should it be harder for people to come and live in Britain and claim benefits?...
