The good part of UKBA is that they are making ever step to strengthen UK workforce by eliminating people who do not deserve to be the part of UK economy. Comments are welcome. MKI Does that include all the drunks and dorsers who won't work and are born here :D The Ukba has a purpose but it does not...
Is the other parent a British citizen? If both are applying for settlement then it may be best just to wait and apply for the child to be registered as a British Citizen in march. If you apply now and both parents are on work permit you would have to apply for ILR for the child first then apply for ...
I thinks you need to liaise with the tax office to ensure that this is cleared up before you apply or else it may definitely affect you application as they do want tax details and may check with the inland revenue. Being gainfully employed is also a bonus to show that you are not just living off the...
Must you use a solicitor before your company pays the bill? Anyway I think this thread is for APPLICATION SUBMISSION TIMELINE. I would suggest you open a new thread for your query. I don't get it...What are you talking about applying for naturalisation and your company sponsoring you? It's either y...
I am considering to apply for naturalisation through an immigration consultancy firm. The reason behind this logic is that my company may be willing to sponsor my application if I use this firm they're working with. Comfort is also a consideration. I don't get it...What are you talking about applyi...
I didn't find this specific question in the archives, so I am hopeful one of you good folks may be able to clarify some things for me. I am filling in the form AN for my wife to get naturalisation. Most of it seems pretty straightforward, but I have three queries. In section three entitled "Go...
CONGRATS racingfire. the letter from the council came about a week after my approval letter. You can call the council to ask them when the ceremonies are in light of your approval. My council only did ceremonies once per month and I didn't want to pay any more money than i have already in these proc...
Congrats Tonyz, Sid on your ceremonies
Bechir don't they ask whickh office you want your application to go to at the check and send? Well the maximum waiting time the IPS quote for first adult passport application is 6 weeks so hopefully you'll get through sooner
If you can get your passport renewed that would be good as ILR would then be put in your more recent passport when it is granted. All you would need to do is to send all passports which cover the period since entry into the UK along with the renewed passport with the application form for ILR. I don'...
A Letter from your employer just stating that you worked with them for the past 4 years(not necessary to put exact date) and that your employment is continuing and your salary
you will be able to apply 28 days before the 21 of january. if you are applying under the HSMP JR rules thenthis would be 28 days before 21.01.2010 if not then it would be 28 days before 21.01.2011
On the application form asks date of first entry into UK
Sorry if I'm beating the dead horse but after I've done my settlement (Aug 2009 under HSMP Juridicial Review) when can I apply to become British Citizen? Next year in August right? thanks When did you come to UK? and do you have a backdated ILR letter? Basically 5years after legal stay in UK, this ...
Yes Thank for clarifying! Is that really classified as knowing someone personally and being able "to give full details of their knowledge of the applicant;" if all they know about is your teeth (and they might not be allowed to reveal that information anyway)? GP'S are also acceptable, th...
this should not cause an issue as changing jobs are a part of life, they may ask for more info from yourselves and you could then send them contracts of the franchise and any other further info they request
bechir i don't think that travel should be any problem, the only thing is that you may have to pass through the non EU non British passport cue as you would be travelling on your original passport. I would suggest you take your citizenship certificate and other id such as driving licence with you if...
sidster007 well the most important thing is that you have your acceptance. My council only does one ceremony a month so I have to wait till the 19th of November, so although I got a quick reply I still had to wait a long time to get My ceremony. The only thing is I can sleep well at night without wo...
sidster007 if you look at my timeline it may give you an idea of how long from approval to the secure mail package being delivered They originally attempted to deliver on the 21st but i was not home and they left a reminder slip with the tracking number Thank God for Couriers....God Bless the Queen....
congrats bechir on having completed your ceremony. I will be posting when mine is done. racingfire hope you get some good news soon, this is a real hard process when you have to wait
debit card would be acceptable for payment but i would be worried about trying to make a payment with a cheque as this would have to clear prior to application being processed so may cause delay
as was state in your approval letter i attach the advice from the home office site Arranging the ceremony When you receive your invitation to a ceremony, you have 90 days to attend one. Your invitation will include contact details for the local authority that will arrange your ceremony. The ceremony...
