Thanks for all your replies. If the baby is born in UK, it will automatically be british if only one parent has PR or only if both the parent has PR? Yes, the child automatically has UK citizenship if either one or both parents has ILR. We ourselves not sure if we will apply for british citizenship...
Thanks for all your feedback. I am applying for a Hungarian Passport for which part of that is citizenship, so I am trying to obtain that passport so I will then be a citizen of Hungary & the EU. Does that help? It is more accurate to say that you are applying for citizenship, after which you w...
Technically you can apply. Make sure to provide plenty of strong evidence of strong connections to your home country and everything required in the guidance. In reality, you will likely be denied a visa because the Home Office won't feel that you will actually return to your home country if granted ...
I do believe that the UK's intention is to reduce the number of Tier 1 extensions and discourage their related immigrants to come into the country. I believe they are going to do this irrespective of taxes or any other benefits that Tier 1 migrants may bring to the UK. Tier 1 is being singled out be...
...wish to imigrate to the UK permanently. Start by reading the link posted by Vinny and see if your husband will actually qualify for any visa. IF dell would be willing to transfer him - then you're looking at a tier 2 intra-company transfer - which requires you to qualify via a points system: htt...
This is also telling of the relative conservatism of the UK border agency. If your gender roles were reversed, you almost certainly wouldn't have any problems whatsoever. Really unfortunate.
There is no 'type of spouse visa' for 3 years. It sounds like she was given discretionary leave, in which case she can apply for ILR after completing 6 years in this category, not in 3 year's time. Yes, I assumed that there had been a change to the spouse visa that lengthened the qualifying time to...
UPDATE: She just got a three year visa, with the possibility of getting ILR in 3 years. Surprisingly quick turn around on this. I'm trying to get the exact details on exactly what kind of visa it is, but I'm assuming it is a spouse visa of some type, considering the short wait period to get ILR. I'l...
Wouldn't he have to meet the new salary requirements if he applies under the WP route? I don't believe this would be necessary under the ten-year route. It would be a good idea for him to check on that.
How is a country the size of England capable of supporting this many people and growing? The answer is complex, but it must be obvious to anyone here, including those posting on this thread, that England is struggling right now and has been for some time. This goes way beyond jobs and employment. T...
Hi rbk, could you please elaborate more why is it 14 yrs in my case? I've always knew it was like 10yrs in the country. Thanks For the ten year qualification, all of your continuous stay must have been legal leading up to the time of your application. There can be no 'illegal' breaks. For the 14 ye...
Not that I'm complaining, but, what kept the HO from kicking me out and having me reapply for entrance clearance from the US? I mean, technically, I was working illegally even though I had a work permit but, no FLR. Also, the HO has been approving my Tier 2 extensions with no problems. So, what sav...
Slippery slope. Breeds the type of attitude I heard from an acquaintance - she was white from Africa and so didn't consider herself a migrant. To her, migrants were those without white skin. I hate the fact that the UK is promoting ths attitude. Could you provide a link substantiating the new polic...
If high levels of both migration and unemployment are considered, I think that migrants from the EU also need to be brought into the equation. There are no restrictions on them coming and working in the UK, ... Not true. Romanians and Bulgarians still have non-visa restrictions until 2014. Eight ot...
Do you think its wise for the UK to abandon any new immigrants into the country? Think twice before you answer. Thanks WD In any society, you have a basic balance you have to maintain: Distribution of resources among the population with respect to its size. Right now, the UK sees itself in a positi...
Somewhat of an update (my wife was on the phone with her as I was typing my previous post): Her lawyer has just said that she is married now and everything is ok! She just needs to make a fresh new application! . . . Oh boy. . . . Well, here's hoping the Home Office (heh) and her lawyer are right, a...
she would only be able to make a fresh application if she withdrew her appeal, she would then be applying as an overstayer and hence wouldn't meet the rules. This is exactly how I interpreted the rules. I suggest that she seeks legal advice before withdrawing the appeal given that you are not legal...
Possible for the UKBA to concede a case before it reaches court . Thanks for this. But I think we will assume that this case is standing and will continue to stand with the facts pending. Not possible to make an application Ok, on page 25 of this document it states: A person cannot vary their leave...
She cannot make another application for leave to remain while her appeal is pending. Her stay remains legal under sections 3C & 3D , if she had made an in-time leave to remain application. If she leaves the UK, then her appeal may be treated as being abandoned. Hi vinny, et al. I have been doin...
The fact of the matter is that you come over to the UK, without a job, with a boyfriend over here. Any sane person with a logical mind will agree that the chances of you just remaining here instead of going back home is big, because nothing ties you to there. Immigration statistics don't support th...
Dear Friends, My extention is due in Jan 2013, do I hv to apply my baby s visa as well on that time even if we dont have any plans for travelling abroad... Baby will not be illegal or any thing. Baby was born in UK. Regards Technically you do not have to ever get the child a visa. They strongly enc...
Hi, My query is this: I am outside EEU but I work in a company in my country that is based in UK. Can I get another job in UK under Tier 2 ICT if I keep working in this same Company? Yes. If yes, then two other questions arise. Would it matter if the area of expertise change, like Marketing to Jour...
I am Indian IT professional with over 7 years experience.I am on H1B visa in the USA for the past 3 years.I am trying to move to UK because the requirements for PR card are more relaxed than the US Green Card. I fall under Tier 2 category in U.K.My husband is in USA for the past 14 years and still ...
Hi, I am rather confused this morning. I have taken time to read through a lot of posts but can't seem to find a definitive answer. My partner and I attended a 'fast track' appointment last week for my American girlfriend to apply for ILR based on our unmarried partnership status and following on f...
