What is your current nationality?

If you are a citizen of any Commonwealth country, you can register to vote in the General Election anyway.

@sarfraz You are not stateless. If you were stateless, you would not have a passport. You are a British national, though not a British citizen. You are correct that you do not have the right of abode in the UK. However, most people with a BNO passport would have a Hong Kong Identity Card, which gran...

a) I did use the PEO service for ILR.
b) In the absences section. I don't even recall there being a Crown Dependency section in my form.

I declared my three day trip to the Isle of Man when I went for ILR. At the time, the guide clearly stated that the UK meant GB and NI only. The argument about the Isle of Man being a part of the CTA is irrelevant. The Republic of Ireland is in the CTA too, but you must declare visits there. The Isl...

To the OP: Can you give us some indication of who your offline sources are? Otherwise, this thread seems to me to be scaremongering and importing mistrust of the government, which is more likely overseas than in this country. We know that GCHQ and the Secret Services do monitor electronic communicat...

Provided that you can still prove that you are the spouse of a settled person, you should still get your ILR. You are considered a spouse until the decree absolute of the divorce. That would easily be more than 2 months away. The key thing is to ensure that you have the paperwork proving that you ar...

Is the father British by birth or naturalisation or is he British by descent? If he is the former (by birth or naturalisation) and the father was a British citizen at the time of birth of the child , the child is already British by descent whereever in the world they are born and does not need regis...

This is a question for the Other Countries forum. Can the mods please move it there? To the best of my memory, the Indian surrender process requires a British passport number. So, you will need to get a British passport before applying for the surrender certificate. Only once you get the surrender c...

In this specific situation, I recommend that the OP do the following in the sequence below a) Get an Indian passport for his child b) Get the child registered as British under Section 1(3) with Form MN. c) Apply for a Certificate of Entitlement for Right of Abode (CoE-RoA) to be stamped in the India...

If you were working off-site/remotely, that ought not to count as leave.

Are you currently on a Tier 2 visa? I believe hat your employer will need to write a letter explaining your leaves. An explanation can be included in the letter.

Thankfully the Queen is not that foolish. In any case, she would not pass any orders except on advice of her ministers. So as long as you can trust her ministers, you are safe. About my comments about de jure and de facto dual citizenships, some countries explicitly allow multiple citizenships in th...

Typically, freedom of movement of an EEA spouse is restricted to either traveling with the spouse or traveling to meet the spouse. I do not believe that travel with other family members is included. You may require a visa. But I believe that the visa would be free.

While I do not see any immediate downsides to British citizenship, not everybody feels that way. See http://www.immigrationboards.com/british-citizenship/renouncing-the-british-citizen-but-want-to-stay-in-uk-t180678-20.html?hilit=takfly#p1147266 , which while not an argument against British citizens...

The UK, unlike the US, does not require a British citizen to enter the country with a British passport. You can enter using another passport. All you need to be able to do is to convince the immigration officer that you are a British citizen. If push come to shove, the OP (I presume with a British p...

...the rules are not made by HOME OFFICE or case worker.Its the parliament who make such kind of decision by voting, ...The new rules are law and the court can't win from Parliament(lawmaker) , they can only suggest not only for you but for everyone.(Remember the spouse financial requirement case) ...

Are you a British or EEA citizen? If you are one of the above, technically, your husband does not need a visa to visit another EEA country, if he is traveling with you or traveling to meet you . It is up to him to convince the relevant immigration officer of his relationship to you and that he is tr...

If they will actually use the insurance by visiting a GP or a hospital, you would want to make sure that the insurance would actually be accepted in the UK. You may be better off taking the insurance out in the UK. Make sure you read the fine print really well, such as what conditions are not covere...

Exactly the same situation here last year (even down to the part-time Masters). I spoke to the landlord who had a fit as that may cause issues for them. So, I booked them into a Travelodge closeby. Somebody else I know had looked into booking them into the Indian YMCA in London as Indian food is inc...

Fourth bullet point in the link below specifically includes "British overseas territory".

Typically, the Home Office looks at ensuring that the future of the child is in the UK. Typically, one of the parents should be a British citizen and the other on ILR and both should be settled and have a majority of their estate in the UK. From your description, it seems you are likely to be succes...

From the text of the law (Section 3(5) of the British Nationality Act 1981), residence of three years in any qualifying British Overseas territory seems to give the child an entitlement to registration as a British citizen.

@Joseprithvi Undeniably the baby can apply for an Indian passport through the mother. However, the baby cannot get ILR. To enter the UK, the baby has two options. a) Get a British passport. That automatically terminates the baby's Indian citizenship. b) Get an Indian passport and a certificate to Ri...

After the parents are settled in the UK (ILR or PR or on arrival for Irish citizens); A child born in the UK has an entitlement to registration under Section 1(3). A child born outside the UK can be registered at the discretion of the Home Office under Section 3(1). The form to be used in both cases...

@ILRTier1 If your child was born after you got BC, s/he is British by birth and therefore is ineligible for ILR . Your application will be declined. What you can do is to apply for an Indian passport and then for a Certificate of Right of Adobe. Mind you, given that that is only given to British cit...

This is a query for the Other Countries forum. Can the mods please move the thread? To the OP: Really, GIYF (Google is your friend). If you search for "Surrender of Indian Passport UK", you'd get a lot of information. The site you'd want is http://in.vfsglobal.co.uk/Surrender.html . Also, ...
