So ILR BRP with Passport You can send full photocopies. Hi, the guidance on passport application says that only original documents should be sent, photocopies are not accepted. Two identity docs required are: * Childs Identity (I assume the birth certificate will suffice as that all I have on him) ...

So ILR BRP with Passport or without passport?

and nationality during ILR/PR is not British but the previous nationality? Correct. So, you would have had your previous nationality and settled status in the UK at the time of the child's birth. Your child has British citizenship and the citizenships by descent from its mother and you. Does your p...

Was the child born in the UK or born abroad?

Born in UK. Do I have to provide my British and Previous nationality passport along with my sons' British passport application ?

the certificate that was given at the ceremony?

My naturalisation application was approved on 15/04/15. My first son was born on 29/05/15. Was I a BC at the time of his birth?

I attended the ceremony on 02/06/15 and my passport was issued on 06/07/15.

I need to answer this on my son's passport application form.

Thanks in advance.

They are doing islamic marriage. Does that further complicate or does it have no relevance. Also if they were ever to have a child could that reduce the level of difficulty in eventually getting a legal status for the girl? Sounds naive. 'Girl' is 10+ years off citizenship. A child is not a visa. S...

An Islamic marriage won't be recognised under British law. In any event, even if they manage to marry in a Home Office approved Registry Office, this won't change her illegal status. I got BC earlier this year following 10 years residence. My wife joined me in 2011 from back home. We had the islami...

My friend has ILR he is going to marry a girl who originally came on a student visa roughly 4 years ago. The college got closed within few months of arrival. She then didnt bother renewing her visa. Long story short she has been living illegally but my friend has decided to marry her. What steps can...

I was told yesterday by a worried friend of mine that she heard that from March 2016 the foreign spouses of BC will not get British passports, they will only get permanent ILR. Also, the time to reach ILR will increase from 5 years to 7.5 years.

Is there any truth in the above please?

thanks, do you pay anything to NHS even after having the insurance or the insurance covers NHS?

Any idea of the cost of check up at walk in. Is that the prescription cost you are talking about? Aren't visitors supposed to have paid a surcharge as part of the visa application?

Yes she knows that she cant stay for more than 6 months at a time

She has had few 6 month visas until her current 2 year visit visa.

Can you please confirm whether she is to pay for any NHS treatment i.e. walk in centre, GP etc.

Please advise.

Is that correct, I thought if you are not a BC from birth (like I am not), your children which are born abroad don't automatically qualify for BC. Or I am confusing with some other requirements? Your children born outside UK, born after you became a British citizen, will be British by descent . Con...

Gurus/Obie if my wife goes with me abroad and return in time to renew her visa in 2017, would that affect her extension for next time around. She is a mother of BC son who will be 2 years old in 2017? I am in desperate need of options as I really want to take my family with me abroad, please advise.
