If your baby is not a British citizen, it is quite lawful for him or her to remain in the UK without making an immigration application. There’s no need to make an application for them. However, the baby will need immigration permission to re-enter the UK after any travel abroad. To make any immigrat...

so is it a better idea to disclose my conviction and request for a consideration to ignore my minor offence??

You cant pull wool over their eyes, there isnt a better idea than to disclose it and add detail. Honesty is best policy

Hey must attend with you. If he cant he needs to provide a letter stating why and provide a statement confirming he supports your application plus a day time number where the caseworker can reach him should there need be. I suggest going together is better and a good look cause he is sponsoring your...

Hi, I'm currently holding a student visa, which expires on 31 August. Can I leave UK to other European countries nearby before student visa expired and re-enter after the expiry date to get the 6 months visitor visa? I'm in the non-visa national categories. I understand that the immigration officer...

No pain no gain :p

You need 6 letters from 3 sources spread over each co-habiting year. Government letters are preferred along with bank statements, bills, medical cards, payslips, HMRC docs, tenancy agreements, Council letters etc

The start of the qualifying period of 5(3) years is the day after the corresponding application date. Thus, for example, if the application date is 5 January the 5(3) year qualifying period starts on 6 January. Old Passport Expires : 29 July 2010 Application date : 9th July 2013 Residential Qualify...

UKBA needs to be satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that you were present in the UK exactly 3 years prior to the date of your application. Lack of a valid passport and oth...

Sometimes they don't make sense according to nationality law the absence in the last 3 years shouldn't be more the 450 out of which the last year shouldn't exceed 90 days. (The time I spent with expired passport but valid leave is no more that 120 days and in total I have only spent 24 days out of ...

Where did you renew your passport, in UK right, hence you could not have travelled outside UK on expired passport, does it not automatically imply that you were in UK between July 2010 and Jan 2011? It does imply I was in the country cause it was renewed in the UK. I couldn't have travelled out or ...

Ok! I have my passports in with all the expired passports, for the application to naturalise as a BC on the basis of my marriage to my British wife and 3 years residency.
