The government website says( https://www.gov.uk/becoming-a-british-citizen) And you must usually have: lived in the UK for at least the 5 years before the date of your application spent no more than 450 days outside the UK during those 5 years spent no more than 90 days outside the UK in the last 12...

Not hijacking the thread, but curiosity got the better of me.

How would the Indian border officials know that the OP is a british passort holder, Can the OP not leave the country(India) if he has a valid Indian passort and Visa? And use the British passport to enter UK.

Thanks cr001, most helpful as ever

Thanks very much Cr001

Just one quick follow up question - What would be my Daughter's nationality in the Landing Card. I suppose this is quite trivial, but want to be prepared when it comes to the details.

Appreciate this has been asked a zillion times, so please bear with me. My daughter received her Certificate of Registration as Bristish Citizen, couple of days ago, after about 5 1/2 months. My family is due to travel to India today, and so its a little late to do anything. Ideally the normal seque...

Here are my daughter's timelines

Eligibility criteria: section 1(3)
Method of application: NCS Glasgow: 07/07/2015,
Date of receipt of registration certificate: 13/11/2015

I don't think they send a confirmation, you could set up a royal mail redirection for peace of mind.

To the Original post by sjidh, Did they give you any chance to produce any of those documents right there during PEO appointment? or they staright away handed you the list of additional docs needed and asked you to post them? reason I am asking is most of us hold back few documents and produce only...

A letter from your client is probably not the most straight forward thing. I would focus on getting a reference letter from the recruitment agency , that summarises the engagement with the client. Details that can go into the letter - 1. Client Name/Details 2. Rate 3. Role in the client location. 4...

3 years, as it should be.

whatever rules applicable during the time of your first application apply now, i got my 2nd extension approved yesterday.

For example if you scored 10 points for your age in 2008, you can claim the same now. the same principle applies for your previous earnings and other areas.

In my opinon, OP should have applied as employed and not self-employed. It appears that OP is employed as a director of his/her limited compnay. Although they are interchangeably used, they technically dont mean the same.

Just the reg number is fine. I would think they have access to a database through which, they verify the registration.

Thanks.

Which VFS did you apply from, I guess its totally based on case-worker.

And did you submit the phone bills and chat logs as well?

How is one supposed show the phone bills if the Tier 1 holder is in UK and the Spouse / Fiancee is in India and they use Voip through phone/ computer to speak to each other. Direct calls are quite expensive and you will have to make the calls out of compulsion rather than desire :-). They dont reall...

Could some address my original query please..Reading or London? I would definately go for London. Chances of your interviews scheduled in London are more. Every company has a branch in Central London. Though a lot of asians live in Croydon, i find some areas in Croydon really nice and peaceful. It ...

Do they really do that? With the kind of numbers flowing out to different countries on different Visas on any given day, I guess the best way to do their duty is to ascertain the cause of visit by asking questions and to get convinced. I fully empathize with them. Shepherd Agreed! I was asked quite...

Apparently, there is no clear reason. I just dont "make a match" after clearing all hurdles I get through all tecnical tests (3-4) and then Stupoid HR interview comes up I dont know why they dont see it initially and cal me for test and interviews Strange! Generally agents/companies ask f...

how can i know if any company is not looking for uk experience.. how did u find a job and how much time it took you to get one? You should probably explicitly mention that you dont have UK experience when the agent/company calls you. Atleast you are not misled and keeps you from hoping. To be hones...

I was sponsored to do a 50K/year job, but lost it (it was a small company and the second founder whom I met very briefly before arrival, didn't like me as a person.) With earnings in my home country, I do score enough points, though. Is it worth it to apply? I'm not sure, because my cause doesn't l...
