Hello
I became British this year and received passport, but I still able to keep Russian passport.
I wanted to ask does it matter what passport numbers I will use for flights to/from Russia?
I believe it does not matter as I travel with two in hand to show.

Could you correct me if I am wrong please?

I thought to show certificate after ceremony or that wont be enough?

Hello

I have a quick question - will I be able to travel after ceremony as I would have to give away
the BRP card back within 5 days?
Will I show Certificate at the boarder?

Thank you

Thank you , fast response!

Hello

I am curious at what point do you become British: when received approved application, after certificate received or after passport is received?

Thank you

thank you very much!

Good afternoon I am currently completing the AN form after 10 years and 1 year ILR.

Thank you very much x

Amber_ wrote:So long as you meet the requirements for ILR. Not sure what "before 539 allowable" means?

I meant the allowable 540 days in 10 years, I guess after that it means broken continuous residence.

Good morning all,
I have entered the UK on 31.7.2004 and going to apply for ILR in July 2014.
Can I still travel to Jersey in the end of June for tourism? I have plenty days left before 539 allowable.

Thank you

Hi all, I wonder can someone on Tier 4 without right to work sell/buy shares (no as employment, but time to time through own bank system) or receive dividends from unquoted or listed companies? I don't consider this as the employment, so I just guess that even if you don't have permission to work an...

Thank you so much, very helpful

You will be allowed to apply after 10years provided you have stayed lawfully all over these years. There is no maintenance fund requirement for 10 year rule

Hello I found this forum extremely helpful, so thank you again. A few questions regarding application 1. Just heard of SAR, is it useful and does it affect future application anyhow if requested? 2. I came to the uk on 30.7.04, does it mean I can only apply after 30.7.14? 3. I cannot find any mainte...

Thank you very much , understood

Great advice , thank you

Looks like you are posting this topic in every category. As mentioned earlier do not risk it as you are nearing your ILR. Soyou are thinking to replace your bank statements etc with the volunteering certificate and thinking you might get away with? You don't have to be so stroppy :), again just an ...

Lucapooka wrote:Oh right, so you don't actually want to do this, you merely think it will serve to blow pixie dust in the face of the caseworker who then automatically approves your ILR?

No it was just an idea.

Is a volunteering permitted if no work stamp on visa? If you dont have work permission on visa, like student or visit, you simply cannot work legally either paid or un-paid, for charity or community or NGO or London Stock Exchange. Thank you deviser, great and helpful as always. It was just an idea.

Lucapooka wrote:Volunteering for what?

Volunteering within community, ie planting trees, helping to prepare for festivals. I read somewhere that volunteering, ie Olympics volunteering, has a positive impact on ILR since you are trying to be a good citizen.

or not true?
