1. Professor is just a glorified variant of "lecturer" (this also includes senior lecturer, reader, etc.) and lecturer is on HO list. Plenty of people get university profs as a referee. 2. The only case when referee needs to know applicant in "professional capacity" is when appli...
She us allowed to work. But she herself is not a European citizen, right? When she applies for PR, since she is above 18, she will have to demonstrate that she is EITHER dependent on you OR a member of your household. Thus, if she lives with you, there will be no problem. The issue might be if she d...
There is a lot of discussion about this at "EEA route" subforum - search there. My impression is that if she has 5 years EU residence card, then it might work, and with PR it might be more difficult. Basically, her residence needs to show "family member of EU citizen" and mention...
I assume your wife and mother are not EU (or the case simplifies significantly). Look at the first link I posted - it is in English (it is Spanish embassy in London). You can apply for visa for your family members to accompany you to Spain. It is free, and you do not need to prove that you have work...
Do you speak Spanish? Just get visas for your family members https://uk.blsspainvisa.com/london/eea_eu_type_visa.php and then in spain they need to physically go to foreigners office and apply for 5 years resident cards of family members of EU citizen. http://extranjeros.mitramiss.gob.es/es/Informac...
EU nationals do not get passports stamped when entering UK. So they need an alternative evidence that you were physically present in UK most of the time. Any official confirmation that you worked more or less continuously should be sufficient. I'd say P60 are enough. I think they actually can access...
The date of application is the date you receive confirmation after you submit and pay for application (usually next day after submission) The biometric appointment can be one month later or more, but it does not matter. You can travel abroad between the time you submitted application and the day of ...
Check your passport(s) and mention all trips for which you have passport stamps (you might have no UK stamps, but some foreign countries will stamp your passport - especially if you travelled outside EU). Otherwise, to ease your mind and cover all bases, you can just attach cover letter telling that...
Thanks. That was my reasoning - assume I have 2 citizenships - then they might want to make sure that my name is the same in documents for both countries (so they might insist on me providing a proof of how my name is written for both countries - be it a passport or something else). Otherwise i do n...
When one applies for first UK passport, they require to send all passports of other countries. We seem to have misplaced one of two passports of my younger kid (age 11) - the non-EU one (he is already double national - from France and from another, non-EU, country). We still have his French passport...
I am French citizen, but I lived/worked in UK for last 6 years.
Do you know of any cases/references on how to use Surinder Singh if I want to return to France and bring my non-EU family member (retired parent, currently living with me on PR)?
As far as I remember, it is enough to show that they are EITHER dependent on you OR are members of your household. If they live with you, it is probably easier to prove that they are members of your household. You can add them to electricity bill. They can get some official letters to your joint add...
Dear all: Can anyone direct me to some (French) resources on how to proceed: I am French citizen working in UK. My mother is non-EU citizen (USA), and she lives with me. We both have PR in UK. I in fa t just was approved for UK citizenship (ceremony in mid-December) I might need to relocate to Franc...
Yes I did - a letter from employer listing all work related trips abroad in last 5 years and explaining in detail that this travel was essential for my job (I am in academia)
I am under the impression that the date of application is when you submit it online and receive acknowledgement, not the date when you do biometric. So any trips after that confirmation email do not count. Is not it the case? So, if you apply on 23/12 and get email with confirmation on, say, 25/12, ...
Dear all: I just received the approval letter for my citizenship application and I am about to book the citizenship ceremony. But I will need to travel abroad frequently during coming months. I an EU citizen. 1. After I get the citizenship certificate, will I be legally allowed to travel out and ret...
Application was for me + two minor children. Eligibility criteria: EU citizen, PR deemed from July 2018. Language/LIUK Criteria: US citizenship + LIUK test done in august 2019 Nationality : French + US Method of application: online Date of application: 26/08/2019 Payment method: credit card online D...
Probably a very stupid question: I attended my UKVCAS appointment last Wednesday. The guy said that he is sending my application to UKVI and that I should receive a confirmation email from them (and then I will just have to wait for the decision). Does HO indeed sends an email that they got document...
I am applying for naturalisation for me and my children (born out of UK).
I was told that I will be able to download parents consent forms, but I do not see them on the application page. What should i do? Does anyone have a template? Or probably an empty form downloaded?
What should I list as "previous immigration applications"? My understanding is that I do not need to list EU PR application, but I need to list EU settled application, right? Also, in 1998 I applied for a UK work permit (university lecturer), got it, and worked on it in UK for about one ye...
I apply for naturalization for me and children. My husband is not applying at this time. We are all EU citizens, and we all have PR. 1. Adults have PR status for more then 12 months, but children have it for less then 12 months (on the PR letter HO put later "starting dates" for them at th...
Me and my husband are EU citizens with PR in UK. I want to apply for UK citizenship (but he does not). I understand that I can include children in my application (request for registration by discretion). But can I instead apply for me only first, and then apply for children (born outside of UK) afte...
Dear all: I am counting my absences days and getting just below 480 days over last 5 years and about 110 days in last year. Those are worst possible numbers - I am EU citizen, so no passport stamps, and I am not sure of all travel dates. (What happens if I do not remember some trips, but HO has some...
.. She also had to state that she has sufficient funds to continue to support your parents without them becoming a burden on the State (Public Funds). .. This is not true. Nowhere in EEA2 application sponsor is required to demonstrate, or even to state, that they have any funds to maintain dependen...
A mere fact of using a solicitor would not change how HO deals with your aplication. So if you rerad the HO instructions, understand them well and think you can provide all they want, you do not need a solisitor. If you have questions or doubts about what type of applicationm you are eligible for, w...
