with due respect, I don't think what OL7MAX has stated is completely true.. each place has their advantages and disadvantages. After we had our baby here, the support provided by the nurses, midwives and later Health visitors was very valuable. Of course your wife might not be able to travel in the ...
Hi all, I had applied for my naturalisation in Dec 2005 & British passport in Jan 2006. I have suddenly realised (yes, I know!), that I don't have my original certificate with me. I think we had to submit it with the passport application, but I am not sure if I got it back from the Passport offi...
I think getting a Visitor visa to UK is relatively straightforward. Just need to ensure that all documentation is in order. It is useful to have sufficient funds in whatever accounts your mother/mother-in-law holds. But you should also send a letter stating that 'All expenses during their trip here ...
Vivek, Whilst not disagreeing with the moderators, would just like to share my experience - we had a lot of people visit us in May 2004 after our daughter was born. We ended up with 6-7 people and a baby in a 2 bed flat for some length of time - we had sent a bog standard invitation /sponsor letter ...
All your guests would be visiting you on Visitor Visa i.e. short stay visa. You don't have to supply any proof about the type of your acco for that. It is sufficient to say that they would be staying with you for the duration of the stay.

Under various paragraphs of HC 395 settlement may be granted to those who have spent 4 years here in certain categories, but only if it has been specifically applied for.

I am aware of a few cases where people have got ILR without the Employer's letter. I think there has been some discussion about the same on this board also. Perhaps you could call the Homeoffice or Croydon PEO and find out.
Has anyone applied for OIC? Does anyone know whether the HCI in London are accepting applications? I am not clear about the fees. The form says £275 per applicant. So if a family of 3 (Husband, wife, child)apply - is the fee £275 or £275 X 3?
Hi, I and my spouse applied for Naturalisation at NCS, Haringey yesterday. We had an appointment for 10:00 a.m. The whole process was a breeze, as has been documented previously: See Here It took less than 10 minutes for the lady to verify our documents. The Photocopying took about 20. She checked o...
I phoned the NCS office and also the Nationality Helpdesk (08450105200). Both have confirmed that I can use the old form, if I am applying before the 1st of Nov.

I am not sure when they stopped the Drop in service, but their website clearly states that people won't be see...

There seem to have been some changes to the rules for Doctors and Dentists, but I can find the link to that Announcement...
