I can't find the thread where somebody pointed out that the ten year clock starts when illegal presence ended versus when legal presence began . I know that happened but I'm notoriously terrible with message board search engines. Perhaps some mod can dig that up. marcnath , Just asking for an opinio...

Thanks for your response mate. Much appreciated. I found this links and thought I should share it with you all ..please let me know your opinions. https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/annex_d_section_95_illegal_entry https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/298024/response/750305/attach/html/3/FOI%...

I've just had an overnight think about this. It may be that your ten years started from the date you were last present in the UK illegally. In which case, you may be able apply after November 26th, 2018. I ran into a thread similar to this before where somebody corrected me on a point just like that...

I don’t understand one thing if I came to the atttention of the home office when the UKBA caught me then why not counting the days start from that day? Or when the first time I applied for the spouse visa? I believe the intention with 9.5 had to do with someone who entered the country illegally and...

Date of entry in the UK: April 2013

ILR granted: August 2015

Those dates just now jumped out at me. That's a pretty quick turnaround for ILR. Are you sure you've got your dates right?

" 9.5 Illegal Entry In circumstances where an applicant entered the UK illegally, an application for citizenship should normally be refused for a period of 10 years from the date of entry, if it is known. If it is not known, the period of 10 years starts from the date on which the person first...

Hi all, I am applying for the UK visit visa in order to present my research paper at the conference being held at Glasgow University. Can anyone please inform me which option should I have to select/check while stating main reason for my visit. The following options are given 1. Tourism 2. Academic...

Are you sure you are 'stateless'? You have the flag of Eritrea in your mini-profile. Maybe that's just representing your ethnicity? In what country were you born? What was the citizenship of your parents? Have you ever held the pasport of any country at any age in your life, even as a child? I susp...

This is additional discretion prescribed in the rules if the child has siblings who are already British.

Hi my younger brother had a hearing today at Taylor house. Just a background. He applied Tier 1 ent. in 2013 which was refused on deception (due to an alleged bad quality bank statement) with right of appeal. All of his appeal rights were exhausted in Dec 2014. Just for a note: In these 2 yrs he wa...

Most governments of the world probably don't consider deffered or delayed tax payments as 'minor'. Those taxes pay that government's existance.

Hi folks,I am ready to apply my Citizenship recently passed my language and Life in UK test as well as have my residence for the last 13 years. My only worry is my Criminal Record.

*Edited* Just over a year ago my British Citizenship application was refused without any specific reasons given why my application was refused, I had to submit a request for internal review (reconsideration) at an extra cost of £272. Again my application was refused but this time with little detail...

What is the best thing to do now. If the self employement ID was not genuiine, the best thing to do is leave the country and forget about the UK. If it was genuine, challenge the decision by all means available to you. Don't worry about any further visas or anything else, just clear your name. Once...

You should consider asking a moderator to move this to the Tier 1 E section. Especially since posters over there might not ever visit the General section.

HI There, Appreciate if anyone can help with more information on if a new born in india for british OCI parents can apply for right to abode ? i have read some forms that child had indian passports granted for OCI parents ?

but the a fresh application was made with in a month's time. There is no grace period for citizenship applications, including time taken into account for the Good Character requirement. I believe there is even a case on the forum for somebody who was denied for being just one single day illegally p...

From my understanding, your in time application and appeal were covered under section 3c. The 28 day rule was abolished in 2016 after your subsequent application was made in 2015, which was successfully approved. 28 day rule has now been reduced to 14 days. I think it will not be an issue in your c...

Child applicants with criminal records . This is the only one that I can think of that could be considered close to what you propose. Since citizenship isn't a right, it's difficult to make a case that anyone was wronged by its denial, hence the lack of precedent for adult applications. But there a...

Hi, I'm on a Tier 2 General visa and planning to apply for ILR this month via the 5 year route using the same day premium service. My question is about the Schengen visa I hold at present, which is valid until 2020. When I get my ILR, will that invalidate the Schengen visa as it was applied when I ...

.. but the chances are 50/50 its all about risking it .

The chances are more like 1/10000. But if you've got the money to burn and don't let yourself get your hopes up too much, you can rest assured that the money will be put to good use funding the UK immigration system if nothing else.

It's also important to keep in mind the UK government can decide to bestow citizenship however they wish, by whatever means they wish. They can also deny it for whatever reason they like (however menial or arcane) or no reason at all. Indeed that is a right of any sovereign nation. No, I disagree o...

Hi ouflak1, Even though I haven’t got a clue what you’re trying to say I thank you replying. I ask the question because I’ve seen where someone been an asylum seeker got ILR and later was refused Naturalisation because they were illegal and one of the moderators on here wrote a letter for that some...

Thanks for your reply outflak1 Thanks for your reply Hassan7861, Do you know of any descretion policy for naturalisation regarding victims of domestic violence, asylum seeker that missed their reporting date which is out of their control or mental/ disability? That isn't really the point of citizen...

Is it not worth convincing them that it was one minor offence done by a person of otherwise good character and their decision not to grant might be disproportionate? Thank you for your insights. A Again, it might be 'minor' to you, but to the British, the BBC is an institution. It is not 'minor' to...
