hi

can someone that owns and runs a barber shop countersign my photo for passport application?
is it correct that technically he is a director of limited company ?

hi

i have been granted naturalization and due to apply for passport, but im also thinking of changing my first name via deed poll servies,question is can i request my new name to appear on my passport ?

do i have togo back to ukba and amend my naturalization first?

Hi guys, i send my naturalization application a little while ago, about 2 weeks ago my address changed and I went on ukba website and notified ukba about the change , i also send a new pre paid envelop and requested ukba to destroy the existing envelop, but i have not received any confirmation to sa...

And the reason he says no is ...? he said no one with conviction can apply, regardless of offense nature and whether its spent or not, he wasnt taking it at all, his no 0208 830 3050 This is not true. thats what i thought, and i ended the conversation with him, he is a well known immigration solici...

"the Scottish Govenment has expressed its intention to hold an independence referendum in late 2014"

is it likely that Scotland will separate and there will be such thing called Scottish passport? and how is it going to affect those who naturalize now?

FPN has no spent period - it is not a conviction (unless a fine was awarded by the court) You shouldn't have more than 1 FPN in the last 12 months. The FPN in 2007 is irrelevant (assuming you didn't have a fine awarded by a court). i didnt go to the court and thanks for the reply, I have one more q...

Yes, you should contact your solicitor or insurance company to get some clarification around this. In any case, now that you have paid the fine and it hasn't been to court, I don't think this will have any impact on your application. dvla is looking into this , spoken to the debt recovery they conf...

Dont confuse a PCN (penalty charge notice) issued by councils for parking/bus lane contraventions on PUBLIC ROADS, with FPNs issued by police for speeding/insurance/red route etc contraventions. FPNs must be declared, PCNs do not, so assuming your 2011-2012 FPNs are actually PCNs then no need to de...

Hi i can see that citizenship application asks for declaring traffic offense, is thats only for traffic offense committed within past 12 month ? does a parking ticket raised against me by a private company counts ? or only DVLA/council tickets must be declared. i was given one FPN in 2012 and one in...

UKBA says we will use descrition "you have been free from immigration time restrictions for at least 12 months by the date when we consider your application; or" what does "by the date when we consider" means here, is it Date application receipt by UKBA: Date of debit of fees: D...

You still didn't explain why the US trip is relevant. Why do you need to be a BC then? If this is to avoid having to get a visa, I would not think it is a compelling reason. If you don't meet the requirement and discretion is not given, the application will be refused and you will lose the applicat...

under "Discretion to disregard immigration time restrictions during the last 12 months. " there is a note says "here are compelling business or compassionate reasons to approve your application" im going on business trip hence thought they might exercise this option and consider ...

The HO can apply discretion if you don't meet the 12 months requirement. See Discretion to disregard immigration time restrictions during the last 12 months . Depending on your circumstances, you might fit one of the options. The first option might be tricky if you apply now as your application mos...

Did it go to court? or was it debt recovery letter before court proceedings? no court, just £80 paid over the phone here is what the letter says RE: our client dvla " we act for the above named in connection with their outstanding account totalling £80" we must inform you that unless your...
