i thought normally solicitor charges £5 for each documents. I guess I will have to certify the travel document, driving license, still cheaper than the checking service. However, if the home office thinks that they need more documents, will they write to me and ask for it or just totally deny my app...
Hi, I am about to apply for naturalisation in July this year after I was granted ILR in July last year. ( None EEA ) I want to find out as for Evidence of lawful residence during the residential qualifying period ( 5 years ), I got my new national passport only last year December. It can not be proo...
HI, I sent my ntl application to put the stamp on my passport in Oct 11. I received a letter of acknowldgement in Nov 11. I put a special delivery envelop for them to return my original documents ( ILR documents ). Up till now, they have not returned any documents, neither did i receive my passport....
Do u know how much extra the checking service will charge? Do I have to make appointment? Can I go on my own with both mine and my husband's application or do both of us have to go together ? Thanks.
Thanks. I am non EEA. So what I need is passport, life in the uk, and marriage certificate. That is quite simple, so I do not need to go through this checking services and pay extra money to get it done, I can post directly to home office. Great! But one of my friends had hers done last year and she...
Hi, thanks. I can wait next year for naturalisation. My husband can have dual citizenship and would like to keep his passport for travelling home. His passport wil expire in 4.5 years. I just want to make sure when he gets his new passport, he does not have to apply for another Ntl stamp.
Hi, I need some advice here about naturalisation. My husband and I were granted ILR July this year and plans to apply for naturalisation next year july. I read the documents required at ukba website. My understanding is that we should provide the following docs: 1. Passport showing 5 years of reside...
Hi, all I just want to find out if I have no time limit stamp on my passport ( ILR ), when passport expires, do I need to apply for the Ntl stamp again in the new passport？it is really expensive! Or can I carry both passports when travelling and take the ILR letter along when travelling in case th...
good news. My friend and her family have finally got their ilr. They applied end of mar, so roughly 3 months. Hope this helps other people applying under this category.

It is stated that it takes 6 months maximum for a decision to be made. My friend applied in march this year, it is almost 4 months now, still nothing. P...

I applied end of March, no letter of acknowledgement was received up till now. I called and was told to write to them. I emailed them, and up till now, no reply. A bit worried.
my friend sent out her application yesterday. Did you hear anything from home office re your application u sent in Nov last year? Were all your family member granted ILR?
Hi, I am confused here. If the child was born in the UK. The parents get IRL ( settlement , not british citizen yet ) in the UK years after the child was born. will the child automatically be able to apply for a british passport? ( I know the parents can't ) Or the child and the parents have to appl...
hi, did you hear anything from Home office? i have a friend who will apply next month. it says in the website that u will receive acknowledge letter within 7 days.
when u send in photos, did u cut them into individual photo of 35 mm x 45 mm? it is a bit confusing.
Hi, I would like to find out if a child was born in the UK and the parents get ILR later on, will the child be able to apply for British passport straight away with the ILR status or do they have to apply for natuarilisation first before they can get a passport ( which is about £500 to £600)? If t...
HI, I am just wondering if you could help me out here. I was granted refugee status with two of my children. My husband joined us later as spouse and he was given 5 years vis to join me. In the settlement application, is he counted as dependent? I thought dependent are children. But he has permissio...
YOu are such a genius, Thanks so much. I will look at the form and see how I could prepare the application. If I have any question, hope you don't mind me bothering you again next time.
I don't think I am wasting ur time. If so, apologies. I thought there are a lot of experts here who might know sth I don't know.
Don't worry, I can call HO directly instead of wasting ur precious time since u too know nothing about it!
I don't think it is wrong. Refugee used to be granted indefinite leave to remain and then they changed it to limited leave to remain for 5 years since August 2004. When I called HO, I was told that the first batch is not due to apply for ILR and maybe we have to wait and see the new forms. Maybe tha...
it is called limited leave to remain for 5 years, that is why I can't find any form applies to me.id the form they have is either discretionary leave for 4 years or humanitarian for 4 yrs and there is year restriction . I got mine in 2006 expires in 2011.
Can anyone give me any idea here?
