If you are in the UK, you can use the NCS facility at most local councils. While they will charge you a fee, they will photocopy your passport and submit certified copies. They will return the passport to you and you will then be able to travel even while your application is under consideration. A p...
Does your other nationality allow for dual citizenship? If so, look at getting a CoE-RoA vignette in your current passport instead of a British passport.
@takfly Your question is not only rare, it is unheard of. You are the first person that I have come across on this forum to want to give up British citizenship. The only other person I know of who asked the question was going to get naturalised, but wanted to know if he could back out of UK citizens...
@Ban.s The point is, Section 1(1) does not state whether ILR ceases to exist on the acquisition of British citizenship or whether it merely lies dormant and can be resumed. The case referred to by Vinny atleast gives us some guidance, but there is no certainty, as this thread demonstrates. I doubt t...
52. Ms Naik, in oral submissions, said that a British citizen who is also a citizen of another country would, in practice, retain his or her indefinite leave to remain “stamp” in the passport of that other country. Whilst that may be so (we express no view), the continued physical presence of a sta...
As the child is born in the UK, s/he is entitled to British citizenship with registration under Section 1(3) after the parents get ILR. After registration, if you apply for a British passport for them, they will automatically lose Indian citizenship and will need to surrender their Indian passport. ...
You can not reclaim ILR. It was lost when you were registered. On renouncing your British citizenship, you will have no right of abode or leave to remain. You will need to apply for a Tier 4 study visa (at overseas rates), or a Tier 2 sponsored work visa or marry a British citizen and get a spousal ...
Registration is done for minors, naturalisation is done for adults. As you were a minor at the time, you would get a certificate of registration. I believe, as this is the first time that I have come across such a request, that you need to apply for and get your original nationality. After that, you...
Not true. ILR is incompatible with being a British citizen. Getting British citizenship extinguishes any ILR granted before becoming British. The ILR ceased with the completion of the registration/naturalisation ceremony. http://www.immigrationboards.com/british-citizenship/will-renouncing-british-c...
The UK does not place any restrictions on your use of your old passport. However, the country that issued the old passport may have restrictions on its use. For instance, as jaweb has mentioned, an Indian passport should be surrendered within three months of the citizenship ceremony. But that is Ind...
If you renounce your British citizenship, you will no longer have right of abode in the UK. Right of abode is something only a British citizen has (apart from some Commonwealth citizens who have held it continuously since before 1983). Assuming that your original nationality is not based in the EU, ...
You may want to look at a ‘family of a settled person’ visa. The requirements for these are more onerous. https://www.gov.uk/join-family-in-uk/overview I do not think there is anything like a carer's visa, apart from the one above. I think the expectation is that you can get support for caring withi...
Remember that even if you were to get a long term family visa for your mother in law, she can only stay in the country for six months at a time and she will need to be away for atleast six months. https://www.gov.uk/family-visit-visa/overview You can stay for a maximum of 6 months on each visit and ...
It seems that you already have Pakistani citizenship, as apparently birth in Pakistan gives you automatic Pakistani citizenship, without regards to your parents citizenship. I'm afraid that it sounds like the B(OS) route is closed for you. Given that you have spent most of your life in the UK, espec...
Was either of your parents a Pakistani citizen at the time of your birth? If they were, there is a good chance you have inherited Pakistani citizenship. If you have not inherited Pakistani citizenship, you may be able to request a letter from the Pakistani High Commission stating that you do not hav...
Outflak1 is correct. The children will need to be registered using form MN1 after atleast one, preferably both, parent(s) have been naturalised. As a rule of thumb, children are registered and adults are naturalised. The difference is that children born in the UK are entitled to registration when th...
Do you have or have you ever had any other citizenship other than BNO? If you are of Chinese descent, China considers you a Chinese citizen, irrespective of the passport you hold. If you are not of Chinese origin and do not have and have never held any other nationality, you may be able to register ...
I'm going out on a limb, so please don't take my word for it, but I was under the impression that only degree and post-grad courses taught in English were accepted as proof of English language. I doubt that a diploma, let alone a certificate course would have been accepted. In this scenario, I think...
I think the OP is significantly overstating the proposition. A significant proportion of migrants, if not the majority, of immigrants do not vote Tory anyway, so the Tories have nothing to lose. Then again, most immigrants are concentrated in seats that are currently Labour. So, again, nothing to lo...
