John/Puma, While they have a provision for exempting the 1 year rule in cases of inordinate delays for which the OP is not responsible ; I have never heard of a case where a person applied on 29th and got his ILR on 30th. The next point is even their website carries instructions to contact them afte...

Puma,

Anytime after 1 year of getting your ILR i.e 30th April 2014. Just because you applied in Sep 2012 is not going to exempt you from the requirement of 1year of being free from Immigration Restrictions.

I dont think you should be overtly worried. There may be a delay of max a couple of weeks.

wolex, If it was 2014 you will be in serious trouble. :lol: After scotland goes away you would have had to put ''DK''.(Divided Kingdom). Else you would have had to take Life in DK again! LOL cheers vr Ps: This immigration Jamboree can stress people till the very end!! Even the ones sitting on their ...

You need to first switch to FLR(M) and then board ILR. IMHO, Hence it will make sense to send separate envelopes. Others who have done it may want to share their opinion. cheers vr IMPORTANT: IN the dependants' FLR(M) attach a covering letter and clearly mention or point to the main applicant's appl...

They are notorious for misplacing stuff. Separate tracked applications are always better. You can see the link for the 28 day rule.

moon1010,

I know this for a fact because an old friend in Birmingham applied through this route successfully.

Also earlier when I was rummaging through the UKBA website,I found this on there.

Take it 199% and go ahead.

moon1010,

You can apply on completion of 9 years and 11 months.(Generally 28 days prior to the 10yr limit).

Apply straight away. They are notorious for bringing in rule changes. And now their decisions cannot be questioned.

moon1010, The rules on long residence recognise the ties a person may form with the UK over a lengthy period of residence here. A person who has completed 10 years continuous and lawful residence in the UK can apply for indefinite leave to remain (ILR) on this basis. For the purposes of ILR under 10...

While it is true that it does not specifically address Conditional discharges, this document which they brought out in October 2013 is much better than the ambiguous previous version. A lot of effort from people like Amber and a few others who pestered the home office to clarify various issues bore ...

T0mmy, Yes the 874 quid includes ceremony fees. Normally when you fill out the FORM AN you have the opportunity to specify the place where you want to have your ceremony. If your Application for naturalisation has been successful and you receive an invitation to contact a local authority to arrange ...

Do not tell them you cannot return for 3 to 6 months. Tell them there is an emergency and you would like to have the oath done in India. As per their website... Ceremonies in the United Kingdom are conducted on our behalf by registrars in local areas. If you are abroad, the ceremony will be conducte...

T0mmy,

1. You need not tick
2. Different papers makes no difference

The link on fees takes ages to open. Take the Nationality fees from the UKBA Website(Latest) and you should be fine.

Are you paying 874Quid?

hittu786, Once you receive the Penalty notice call and inform your insurance company. You will have it on your counterpart for 4 years and they will remove it in the 5th year. Your insurance will become void if you do not inform them. Also the Insurance Premium will shoot up. As far as Naturalisatio...

Since you have not made any name change post marriage on the passports it will make no difference if you retain the name Ghildiyal. You will also have to provide a Certified copy of your marriage Certificate which will show that Mrs.A Ghildiyal married Mr.Yerra. In the application you will provide t...

Matt_W, Having read your post, I share the incredible feeling.In England many things are baffling. Especially laws and their interpretation. Take for instance Sec 140 of the Laspo has given the Border Agency the power to interpret laws in their own way and set their own rules. Under the circumstance...

Before you apply for your British Passport , get the British Passport in your new name and then surrender your Old Indian Passport, get surrender Certificate and then apply for your OCI with deed poll . There should not be any issues.

Folks, This is a very relevant issue for those who wish to work abroad after getting their British Passports. (It is a fact that given the state of the British Economy and the work environments, many just hang around to get the passport) Here is the link for the rules on whether you qualify for free...

If you landed at heathrow put London, If you arrived at Edinburgh mention that.

Where your stay has not been continuous since you first arrived and if you have applied for BC after your second arrival, you can put the date you arrived the second time and continued to get your ccitizenship.
