Hi All, just for the information for all that I have received confirmation from HO in written that my wife only needs to be present in the country for the last 3 years without breach of immigration law before she applies for Citizenship. so this will mean that she can apply in 2019 as she acquired P...
I don't disagree on the breach of immigration but the point I am making is that the breach of immigration accrued was out of our control. We have applied with in 28-days of visa expired i.e. after a day and HO took the money out from my account but then send us the forms back after 24-days saying th...

does it means that for citizenship, my wife have to have 3 years lawful residency before applying for naturalization? is there anyway in which we can appeal now or would it be waste of time and resources?

the 10 year they are asking will be considered from the day of arrival in the UK or from when the breach happened or when they issued ILR? also, what are the chances of succeeding the application if we put a reasonable explanation regarding good character? as my wife have been volunteering herself t...
so what would you suggest? in the past she applied for ILR in time but used an incorrect forms and due to the delay from HO returning the forms, she overstayed visa. Also, her mother passed away in that time due to which all the situation got worse. is there a possibility that if we make a case and ...
she has children who are British national and I myself holds British passport. however, as in the past when she applied for ILR in June, she submitted application after two days of her visa expires but using old forms which were not excepted by the HO and return after 21 days. She applied again usin...
Hi Vinny, I hope you are well. I would like to thank you for all the help you have provided specially you guidance and pointing me towards 196D immigration rule.

Thank you for your reply vinny. I had a letter from HO in the past confirming that my wife current states comply with the provision of 196d(iv). 196D(i)(1) refers to the sponsor, not the applicant. Isn't 196D(i)(2) satisfiable? we have provided the marriege certificate and also my wife is been livin...

The test is already booked for this Sunday and I am sure she will pass the test. shall I apply for new ILR application or shall we request HO to consider the new B1 with the old application? if we request for Administrative Review, will they accept our request? what would you suggest?
so shall I prepare for another application and pay either £1875 or if I go for inperson than I have to pay £2375 again? will they even not consider to provide few more days to give submit the correct B1 certificate? what would you suggest?
so there is no way not to get them consider our old ESOL certificate or atleast give us 28 days to provide them with the new B1 test certificate as I have already booked the test for my wife and she will do it as she speaks very good English. is it worth asking HO for administrative review on our ap...
It's ESOL entry 3. I remember we have applied for her ILR in December 2014 and at that time it was valid certificate and HO didn't object on that.
is it worth asking for HO review or shall we apply after doing B1 exam?
Hi All, I have applied for my wife ILR under 196D which was considered but refused due the ESOL B1 test was not from the approved list. however, she has passed that test in December 2014 and at that time the OFQUAL ESOL B1 was in the list and we had made one application of her ILR in December 2014 w...
so does this mean when the HO has grant her FLR(FP) visa than they have now given her permission to switch into another visa category such as 5 year route and this also implies that she can apply for ILR as well? I hope I understood your message correctly?
