what about a baby born in UK to a ILR holder IN the UK.

Ask your cousin ,does he receive any letter about this ? This is strange issue because you do not live there but you are fined. If you prove that you do not live there ,they may be fined for their illegal work. Nothing strange about this, these TV license inspector are nothing but goons. they are n...

This post has confused me somewhat, are we saying that if the baby is born before naturalisation of parent, he/she is not a British Citizen? Someone please clarify!

Friends I'm very down today. I have a potential job offer from Qatar on three time more salary than my current. How could I proceed without knowing the status of my application? I can't go for something and sacrifice the other? Any idea? I'm into 6 months and one week since they received by the big...

Applied on 03/12/14 still waiting. So guys just wait, don't be anxious. Wait is never easy but the upside is going to be positive. Just because ours is taking long doesn't mean there is an issue, it just means that due to some extra checks that got in place last year, some of applications will take ...

Alot of people on here pay the extra fee for NCS. But it doesn't necessarily make it faster. I sent my app via post next day special delivery (~£7) and received the approval as fast as anyone else that paid the extra for NCS. I don't see the point of it unless they give you back your original passp...

Sorry about hijacking this post, I am in the same situation.

How does one exercise treaty rights (I mean what is it). I am a BC and wish to sponsor my family who are entirely (and have been so for over 7 years) dependent on me ?

Please advise.

Hey people pliz don't causr unnecessary protest.... If this was a third world country, I would agree that I would sit back and not cause a stir in fear of the organisation hitting back and making it even harder. However this isn't a 3rd world country so I don't agree with that. Hey people pliz don'...

hi Amber, I know the last on this thread was sometime ago. Unfortunately the question still applies.

Do you know whether 10years limit would still apply if I was able to make a case for my wife previous health issues ?

I would really appreciate some guidance on this please.

Thanks so much for your kind replies. Recent FOI figures showing a huge backlog and I think average time is around 8/9 months now except the lucky ones who are getting the decisions quicker. Surely, they is a way to raise our protest at a public forum where our concerns can be heard and reach out t...

obie many thanks.

thanks for advice, but my decision to leave UK is dependent on how wife's ILR is affected.

Could you at least point me to the provision you are referring and I will explore this further on my own?

obie thanks,

can you please elaborate the provisions relevant to child which could have an impact on my situation.
