and what happens if you renounce your original nationality? In this case one of the details in the card is incorrect. Do you have to return it to the home office in this case?

Thank you for the quick response.

section 2.3 of the AN form:

Please tell us in which country you intend to have your main home if you are naturalised.

Should I write here United Kingdom or England? (I live in England)

Thank you.

Apologies if that has been asked in the past. I'm going to apply for naturalisation next month and I have a question with regards to employment details. I work (I'm an employee) for company K which is owned by company D. K's name appear on my payslips, p60. I work in K's offices. What should I put i...

Apologies if that was asked before,

Can an HR manager (he's not a director) act as professional referee?

Same question for a retired dentist.

Thanks.

List of nationalities who need to register with the police can be found at: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/policyandlaw/guidance/ecg/ecb/ecb16/ If your nationality is on that list, yes you need to register with the police (as well as your dependents). Also, you need to produce your police registr...

in the last extension I showed 30K. In the ILR application I showed 29K (same band but less earnings). Obviously, there shouldn't be any issues with that as there is no rule that earnings at the ILR application should be higher than the last extension. Indeed there were no problems on that front. Th...

@arifahmmed: you don't need to show the degree certificate again, just tick the box that you already showed it in a previous application. @innocentdevil: not sure that I understand your question. I used the format at http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=51089 and also provided signed and...

I had a similar problem in the past and even worse, because in my case I had to submit employer's letter & bank statements for my tier 1 extension. My employer went bust a day after I submitted the application. What I did was I asked the employer (who fortunately was still contactable) to contac...

I recently extended my Tier 1 visa and got my residence permit today. At the instructions I got with the card it says on the valid until date on the card: "Valid Until - the date the permit expires. This date is at the end of the time you are allowed to stay or five or 10 years if you have been...

I came to the UK at Oct 2007 with HSMP visa, extended at Mar 2009 (Tier 1 visa, valid until Sep 2012). I could have waited until Sep 2012 and apply for ILR. The only reason why I applied so early for another extension was peace of mind (in case I have problem getting the ILR, not that I can forsee a...

Re employee's contribtuions: it depends whether you make your pension contributions from NET salary or from your GROSS salary. If you make it from your GROSS, then you don't pay tax & NI on it, which means it doesn't count as earnings. But, what if you're making it from your NET salary? You alre...

and see whether I moved address/ changed job or something (which I didn't), guess they have new procedures now that they need to check that every few months or so (last time I was there was 10 months ago when I got my extension). When we asked them why the letter was written so harshly they just sai...

We'll go tomorrow morning to the police station and hear what they have to say, will report tomorrow how it went.

Thanks again

Evening people, Currently I'm in the UK on a Tier 1 visa, previously I had HSMP. My current visa valid until September 2012. I just got a horrible letter from the nationality department of Greater Manchester police ( the same place where I registered when I got to the UK / extended my visa etc...). ...
