I do understand their law about completing 12 months prior to filing naturalization application however i am spouse of British Citizen(my husband got his British passport 5 years back) so my understanding was i can apply for citizenship next day after getting ILR approved. Did you (a) indicate that...

Quite apart from the advice given by sah10406 above, you may also want to think more long-term. If the plan is to apply for British citizenship, there are absences requirements for the five/three years before the date of naturalisation/citizenship application as well as a requirement about being phy...

Can he complete his registration for naturalisation in spite of the absence from the U.K. or must he start the whole process again. The most important question is, how long has he been away? If he has been away for more than 90 days after his naturalisation was approved, the local council where he ...

Also see this thread for why saying that she will be in the UK for six months on a visit visa is a bad idea. She should aim for staying with your brother one month in the UK, two disjointed months at the most. Presumably your brother can take a holiday and return to India with her to spend more time...

I agree with Casa 's advice above. Way too many mistakes in the application. I presume that this is your parents' first UK visit visa application. Straight off the bat, stating that you will be in the UK for five months is a bad move. That is almost residence, not a visit. If you were to reapply for...

children#1 just passed 18th birthday last month To add to CR001 's answer above, Child 1 will have to naturalise and meet the same requirements as you, i.e. English language test, LITUK test, absence requirements, etc, when they apply after a year. Child 2 can apply for registration as a British ci...

This is a question on behalf of somebody else, who asked me the question, but to which I don't know the answer (I'm the go-to person in my group for immigration issues, even for non-UK immigration, of which I know next to nothing). The person is the citizen of an Asian country, who is likely to get ...

You haven't mentioned if your spouse and children have ILR. Your spouse and any children born outside the UK will need ILR before applying for naturalisation. Your children under the age of 18 born abroad can apply with you if your spouse also has ILR. Your spouse can apply either after they have ha...

Let's look at it realistically. A quick assessment of a naturalisation application would take 2-3 months. If successful, you'd then have to wait for at least 3 weeks for the citizenship ceremony, assuming again that you get one quickly or that you go for a private citizenship ceremony (which costs m...

You can apply for ILR after either five years on the same visa or 10 years on a combination of different visas.

If the child was born on or after the date that either parent got naturalised, they can apply for a British passport directly . You will need your own or the other parent's naturalisation certificate and the baby's birth certificate. Be aware that first British passports for children born in the Sub...

Many thanks for your information. Much appreciated.. Just one query.. If so, can I apply for citizenship after living continuously for a year since I enter? Nope as you might not meet the residency requirements. You mentioned I do not meet residency requirements.. is it because I would be outside o...

1- Can I extend the Visa only for 6 months? No. The period for each grant of visa is fixed, not something you can alter at your convenience. 2- Do I need to pay IHS fees (2500 approx) for my three dependent ? (My wife and both son turned adult recently) Either you or they would need to make the pay...

Once ILR is approved, can she apply for Naturalisation the next day because she is the spouse of British citizen? Yes. Her route to ILR is immaterial. So long as she is married to a British citizen and she has ILR on the date of naturalisation application, she can apply for ILR immediately after be...

I wondered whether they will be in trouble if they travel abroad while their case is under consideration No. Registration and naturalisation applications are not immigration applications. The immigration pathway ends at ILR. Can they use their ILR BRPs to enter the UK? Yes, because at least for you...

Have you tried popping over to their (physical) office and see if you can have a chat with somebody?

When was he born (month/year) and how did you acquire your British citizenship?

3. Can he travel outside the UK and return back without violating UK immigration law during this time? He can leave but won't be able to come back if he has no valid visa. To build on CR001 's answer, if he leaves the UK, your son will need either a visa or a British passport to return to the UK. A...

i want to travel back to pakistan to get married so that my spouse can come as my depenedent visa in uk. Be aware that you can only sponsor your spouse as a student dependent if you are doing a post-graduate course. I agree with AmazonianX that I don't see it as an issue for you to travel outside t...

Your becoming a British citizen has no impact on her immigration journey. She needs to meet all the requirements of the immigration journey that she is on. Assuming that she is on a family member of a person settled in the UK visa, she needs to complete five years on that visa, LITUK test, English l...

My interpretation is that the situation is much more nuanced than that. Also note that the interpretation that I gave above is not mine, but that of the Home Office, whose caseworkers would follow that interpretation. My interpretation of the the purpose of the amendments in 2015 (Section 4E to 4J o...

You can't combine time as a dependent and as a skilled worker.

She will likely not qualify for registration under Section 4F. (Page 11) Registration under section 4F The Law A person qualifies for registration under section 4F if: • their mother was not married to the natural father at the time of their birth • they have never been a British citizen • their par...

The Home Office (and other departments of state) store information only for limited periods of time . So a SAR for a person who died in 1997 will get very few to no results. The onus of preserving immigration records is on the applicant/individual, not the government department. I agree with alterha...
