Thank you secret.simon . is it formally approved now? Yes, it was formally approved on Monday (Paragraph 7(2) of the Votes and Proceedings) . It will now be made (signed by a minister) formally and will come into effect 21 days after the date it is made. It's not on the legislation.go.uk website, s...
My first application that was rejected did include all the documents you've mentioned actually. I gave them: - My birth certificate (UK) - My grandfather's naturalisation certificate - to show he was naturalised as able to pass on his British citizenship to my father - My grandfather marriage certi...
ILR doesn’t expire ILR lapses automatically if the person stays outside the UK for any continuous period of two years or more. And it can be cancelled if the Immigration Officer forms the view at the border that the ILR holder is only visiting the UK and not residing here. ILR is meant for residenc...
both wife and son should extend in the UK before their leave expires Just to add, the extension to the visa will need to be done while your son is in the UK (i.e. an extension can't be done from outside the UK) and keep in mind that he can't leave the UK until the application is decided (because le...
Not sure if just the British passport by itself is sufficient. You may want to have ready other proof of your three years residence in the UK, ideally from other government bodies, so P60s/self-employment tax records/benefit correspondence/school or university records (depending in when your three y...
There are two separate questions here. (a) Can the child register as a British citizen and not have a British passport, but a CoE-RoA? - Yes, so long as the child is entitled to a non-British passport. (b) If the child registers as a British citizen, can they also retain Chinese citizenship? - That ...
it looks like it they didn't agree on it on first sitting Where did you get that from? The Delegated Legislation Committee only met once, yesterday, and approved it without dissent. The Statutory Instrument was introduced in October, but no progress was made because of prorogation and State Opening...
I think (not sure) that adding the Form NS letter muddied the waters, confused the caseworkers and they didn't look at the additional evidence. I've also provided all the documentation that they would require to prove my father's citizenship directly (i.e., my grandfather's naturalisation certificat...
As expected, the Delegated Legislation Committee approved the Statutory Instrument (without dissent). It will likely be formally approved by the House either tomorrow or Monday and the increase will take effect 21 days after the approval (technically, 21 days after it is signed by the minister, so t...
Well, you have got most of the answers in the refusal letter. Demonstrate that the rest of the family is in Pakistan and that he regularly visits them and has strong ties with them (attending family functions, etc). With regards to the financial side of things, tell him to make sure to have a separa...
You can give it a shot. It's your money at risk. You don't get a refund if the registration is refused. There are many unknowns to your friend's story. For how long have they been in the UK? Was there a second parent or was your friend with sole responsibility? Did the second parent have ILR? etc. W...
I can apply directly for my kids naturalisation now itself, or do I need for the Mrs and kids to get ILR first which we will apply in July’24. ILR required for children in-line with the second parent, if the children were born outside the UK. After both second parent and children have got ILR, the ...
I agree with the advice above about speaking to a solicitor, because this is really not immigration law at all. Your child had no visa and in a sense, he was not legally resident in the UK at all while he underwent NHS treatment. Legal residence requires some form of either citizenship or other lega...
When was the child's registration certificate received? Your naturalisation is immaterial. The child, not having paid any IHS charge, is the person who incurred the NHS charges. It is the child's lack of immigration status that is pertinent, not your citizenship. We got our ILR in May 2021 If you go...
Also, I am married to a UK National and we are living in the EU, do we have to live in the UK for me to get citizenship or we can apply without living there? Merely being married to a British citizen does not entitle you to British citizenship. You need to be resident in the UK for at least five ye...
Is the IHS increase already approved by the law makers. There is no official update on this yet. On Google it shows 16th Jan but most of those links are immigration solicitors websites The Statutory Instrument implementing the increase is to be debated next Wednesday and will come into force after ...
Why can't you get a share code ? https://www.gov.uk/prove-right-to-work/get-a-share-code-online Making an educated guess here, but the OP may be talking of a BRC issued under the EEA Regulations, which would have lapsed after Brexit. BRC was issue for non EU spouse which expires in 2027 To the OP, ...
If you sister had informed the council that you are a student and that she was the only non-student adult residing in the property, the council may have given her a single occupant discount (because a student does not count for the purpose of council tax). In the above case, your sister, as council ...
