Hi All, I had applied for myself, my wife and my son's JCAP process. I have today received a letter saying that my son's application is successful but he has turned 18 during the process so he will have to pay the ceremony fees of 80 GBP. They have enclosed a payment slip and said that it needs to b...

Thanks for the quick clarification.

When I check the status using the case reference number it says "awaiting decision". However, when I check using BRP number it says "Decided". Can some guys, who have status as "awaiting decision" check using the BRP number and see what happens. Is there a bug in the on...

Hi Experts,

I will be thankful for any insight on my question.

Best Regards,

Alternatively can I fill up (town, new state name) in the AN1 as place of birth even if the passport has (town, old state name) and get the current state name on the naturalization certificate?

Appreciate the help.

Thanks,

Dear All, I will be grateful for the reply to my query on the AN1 for naturalization. My place of birth in the current overseas passport and BRP is written as (town, state). However, the state name has been changed now in my country of birth and my birth certificate has the new state name as it was ...

To add some more context, this statement is from the guidance. However, the main Set O requirements just says a letter from their current school, college or university, on headed paper and issued by an authorised official of that organisation https://www.gov.uk/settle-in-the-uk/y/you-have-a-work-vis...

Thanks all, I have a follow up question. The requirement for the letter for address proof from the school says "letter from your current school, college or university confirming your address. This must be on official headed paper and bearing the official stamp of that organisation. It must have...

Dear Boarders,

Could you please let me know your advice on this, if this statement will be acceptable or I should do something else?

Thanks,

Thanks tckraju. This helps alot.

Hi am collecting the documents for ILR. My son is over 16 and is required to submit two documents from the list . If your child is 16 or older when you apply you’ll need to provide proof of where they live. Send 2 documents from this list: bank statement credit card bill driving licence NHS registra...

I will be grateful for some advice on this.

Thanks,

Dear All, I have applied for the NARIC English language verification with my wife's duplicate degree issued by the university as the original was lost. NARIC would add the following statement to the certificate "Although no final certificate has been presented, evidence of successful course com...

Thanks for the reply. Yes my wife's degree's are from abroad. Also, to clarify again - though, I provided the PBS printout for the english language proof of my degree on Tier 1 extension and was accepted but I still have to provide the NARIC cert for ILR. This looks odd but may be this is how it is?...

Dear Boarders,

I am looking to get my and my wife's degree certified with NARIC Visa and Nationality service for English language for ILR purpose. Should I get this done for Master's degree or bachelor degree?

Best Regards,

Many thanks CR001.

I am assuming that I can still apply 28 days before 5 year completion even if I did not enter within 90 days of Tier 1 issue. I assume this was the reason you asked for the issue date. Correct?

Dear boarders,

Could you kindly provide your insight on my question below.

Best Regards,

It was issued on 19th November 2009 for 3 years and I entered 20 months after the issue.

Thanks

Dear experts, Kindly let me know your thoughts on when can I apply for the ILR given below timelines. Entered UK for the interview - 4 Aug 2011 Left UK - 6th Aug 2011 Kept on applying from India and got a job Entered UK to join a Job on 19 Sep 2011 and working since then in the UK My current Tier 1 ...

That's a very good point outflak1. My wife (being a housewife) will not have such earnings of £18,600 to sponsor me. I think this pretty much shuts down this option of only my wife and child applying for the citizenship and me joining them later on on visa.

Thanks all for the inputs. This is very helpful. When I made the comment about only my wife and my kid applying for citizenship, it was about me not applying for the UK Citizenship at all and let go the ILR. I was thinking that I can come on spouse visa in the UK in the future if needed. So my query...

Thanks all. That makes perfect sense now. However, it appears that DTAA may not be straight forward and I may have to claim back the Tax from the USA after paying the whole amount in the UK. As an alternate, would it be possible for my wife and child to apply for the UK citizenship without me while ...

Thanks Wanderer.

That's the exact problem, which I am confused about. I will be paying taxes on my salary in the US ( at source) as I will be on the US Payroll.

Is paying taxes in UK required to apply for citizenship?

Thanks,

Dear Experts, It is possible that I would be transferred to the US payroll of my company after getting the UK ILR. Though, I would be working and residing in the UK I will still be on the US payroll and employee of US office. Could I be able to apply for citizenship in this situation? My stay in the...
