Eligibility criteria: student + post study work + 10 years ILR Language criteria met : UK degree Current nationality: Indian Number of Applicants: 1 Method ...
Thanks for the response. Very helpful. Regarding biometric enrolment, there is someone here to recieve my post. I can travel back for a week to do that. That should be alright I guess?
Hi there, I'm applying for my naturalisation next week and I just found out about the new changes. I need to travel for work for about 2 months after I have submitted my documents. My question is, will NCS keep my permanent residence biometric card? Can I travel after I have applied?
Would 13+ years I have spent in this country not count? They say if you have been outside the country for 900 days, you should have been here for the past 8 years. Please could you clarify?
I'm self employed. I haven't got a company. I pay my taxes here. I'm an international development worker and provide services to international organisations based in conflict zones.
I'm in a similar situation. I have had more than 600 days absences in the past 5 years. However, I have managed to brought my last year absences to 90 days. I'm an independent consultant. Pay may taxes here and have lawfully made UK my home for the past 13+ years. Could someone share their experienc...
Thanks for the clarifications but can anyone share their success stories where they had cross 90 days period and were absent for over 200 days in the final year? And what documents did you submit?
I'm an international aid worker and have been doing this for the last 14 years. My work involves extensive travelling. I have ILR and had exceeded the required amount of days in the past before I applied for ILR last year. However, the CW applied discretion and I was granted ILR. I received my ILR o...
I already have Indefinate Leave to Remain on the basis of 10 years Long Residency. What should be the next step? How do I apply for it? and What are the rules? Do I have to wait for another 3 years to apply for Naturalisation/British Citizenship? Please could you explain? Can I travel outside the co...
Hi there, I recieved my ILR on the basis of 10 years long residency on 31 Jan 2013. I had to travel back to India for a month and a half straight after that due to an unfortunate situation. I have now been offered to work abroad, which allows me to travel to England every 2.5 months for about 2 week...

is there a way that we all could come up with a set of demands for the UKBA? I guess Enough is Enough!! People are feeling suicidal.. I won't be surprised if more people come out and express this emotion.
Thanks for your wishes. Yes you all are right it is a huge loss. I couldn't keep silent anymore and had to speak out. I hope we all could collectively raise points. We are within our rights to demand change. I wish you all luck with your application and hope that none of you have to go through what ...
Dear All, My PR was granted to me on 31 January. Here is an article that I recently published that briefly narrates the process I had to go through to get my PR. I would appreciate if you could comment on the actual article. Thanks. http://www.agimag.co.uk/infringement-of-universal-declaration-of-hu...
Just to let you know all that my mother passed away last night. I couldn't even say good bye to her and not sure if I will get to see her before my family criminate her.
Dear AMH, Thanks for your message.. I feel we are being used as political pawns.. I want to get back to my country! Country where I was born in. It is not that difficult to understand.. why should I be impacted by the policies that were created without our consultation.. this is so unfair and inhuma...
My mum's health is deteriorating. Indian High Commission have refused to give me emergency travel documents. These documents could be made available to individuals who have either lost their passport or if it has expired. To cancel my current passport, they need my old passport which has been lying ...
Thanks, just spoke to the local government who sounded supportive. They said they will write to the Home Office on my behalf but I am still waiting for the Doctor's certificate from India before the MP could arrange to send a letter to the Home Office.
@sPiDeRy_tHrEaD Thanks for your email. You are right I may have to withdraw the application, and it might take a couple or more weeks for them to return my passport. I spoke to Indian High Commission and they said they can provide emergency travel documents. This would mean I would have to cancel my...
Thanks for your reply. I really appreciate it. I find UKBA policies really unfair and lopsided. We spend thousand of pounds and this is the service we receive. I am not sure why do we have to accept their policies that create so much stress and put people's lives on hold. Why can't we sign a petitio...
