My tupenn'orth-Given that you mentioned that you are having issues with the language and with getting a job due to those issues, would it not be easier to exercise treaty rights in Ireland?

Hi Amber, Thank you very much for your support and the targeted and precise advice you provide on these forums. On the topic of biometric data, it appears that the Home Office now deletes the biometric data automatically without being requested. Are you aware of any changes to UKV&I or HO proced...
What date did his wife get her citizenship on? While the British authorities would not be bothered about it, Indian law would punish her for using the Indian passport to travel more than 90 days after the citizenship ceremony (N.B.- after the citizenship ceremony, not after getting a British passpor...
It is applicable to British citizens who also concurrently have a valid non-EU passport that they wish to travel on. I can not imagine that there is any harm in a British/EU dual citizen getting a Right Of Abode certificate in their passport, but it is not necessary as all EU citizens have freedom o...
If the child is born in the UK and one of the parents was British at birth, the child is a British citizen at birth automatically. As s/he is a British citizen, UKV&I can not issue a visa, either ILR or dependant visa, to the child as s/he already has right of abode in the UK. What you can do is...
Also, when were your children born? If they were born after 1st July 2006, they can inherit British citizenship through the father, even if the parents were not married.
Hi, I'm fairly certain that this is a slightly unusual question for this forum, but I hope to receive constructive advice. A member of my family is applying for a Tier 2 (Minister of Religion) visa. He is over 65 years of age. Could he request for an exemption from the English Requirement based on h...
Hi Jake, I suggest posting this query in the British Citizenship forum. Given the circumstances, you may either already be British by descent or may be eligible for citizenship by registration. The moderators on that forum, particularly Amber, are very helpful in their guidance. I would also suggest...
I was not aware that a Chartered Account course is a degree level course in India. The requirement is for the degree course from a recognised University to be taught in English. If the letter is issued by a recognised University on University letterhead, I presume it should technically meet the requ...
It is not clear whether your question is about the overall cost of getting your child British citizenship or just the cost of the passport itself (https://www.gov.uk/passport-fees). For the former, you would have to factor in the following costs; a) The cost of getting an Indian passport (as the chi...
Thanks for info. I was under impression that once you got approval for Citizenship ceremony you have 90 days to book it and once you received the British citizen certificate you can apply for British passport with no time limit and in between you can keep ceremony certificate as proof of British ci...

Because Canada is officially bilingual in English and French, Canadian qualifications are not assumed to be automatically taught in English. Can you get the university to issue a letter on official letterhead stating that the courses were taught in English? If you can get such a letter, or if you ca...
I believe what the OP means to enquire about is the EU Directive 2004/38/EC on freedom of movement. While I can not provide an answer, below are some links on this forum that would provide more information. http://www.immigrationboards.com/europe-immigration-forum/non-eu-spouse-visa-refused-because-...
There is absolutely no reason to be so judgmental on these forums. The OP has asked a question and needs advice, not an opinionated rant. I'm no expert on renunciation of citizenship, but I would simply state, as you have mentioned, that as an adult, you feel that being normally resident in the UK, ...
Dear Santhana, Can I suggest creating the petition on the Government's E-Petitions website http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/ , rather than Change.Org? If the petition gets a 100,000 signatures, at least the issue will be discussed in the House of Commons, whereas Change.org can be completely ignored ...

Which NCS are you using? I submitted my application yesterday without the passport details of my professional referee. I pointed that out to the lady at the NCS. She advised that as the professional referee need not be a British citizen, that was all right. I believe that, as CR001 advises above, a ...

I forgot to mention, I've also completed a post-graduate degree from a recognised UK university, but it was a course conducted entirely online. My graduation ceremony is due in July, so I do not have a certificate, but would a letter from the university be worth obtaining? I understand that the Engl...
Hi All, I've got my NCS appointment in a week. I'm putting together my documentation and I am unable to locate my original IELTS test result that I had submitted for entry clearance 6 years ago. I do however have a copy of it, which states my details and has the test reference no. on it. Would the H...
This is perhaps a late response to the original post which enquired inter alia the basis on which a professional who could be a referee was selected. I was discussing this issue with a work colleague of mine, who has consented to be a referee, and she opined that the basis for being a professional r...
