Thank you so much for your input CR001, I think I'll wait until 2021. Only 3 more years from now.

Thanks once again.

You are right CR001, I do see your point and where you are coming from. In the same situation, considering my overstay by 10months, would I fail the good character test even if I included my wife details, marriage certificate and copy of her passport? Take into consideration we are currently seperat...

Yes I am aware of the immigration rule in terms of DLR /ILR and citizenship. Although I think this might be an issue but I dont think I have much to lose if I go ahead with the application apart from the fee. Overstaying my visit visa will always be on my record regardless even though I have been le...

I initially stated I was visiting my family and I was initially suppose to stay for 1 month. However, My wife couldn't cope with the sickness from being pregnant and i had to take care of my step child. There was no way I could return leaving her at that state. I do understand the citizenship applic...

Sorry for misunderstanding the question. I stayed on my visit visa for 10 months approximately and it expired in June 2012. However, I stated the reason for overstaying during my DLR application due to my wife was pregnant and sick at the same time. My first DLR was applied for in August 2011 and wa...

Again thanks for your prompt reply, really appreciate the effort. My 2 years visa was granted around Feb of 2010 which was due to expire in Feb 2012. However I applied to DLR in August 2011 and was granted for 3 years. I renewed my DLR in 2014 again granted for the further 3 years. Last year, i appl...

Thank you for your prompt reply CR001, Prior to My first DLR, I had just a 2 year Visit Visa which was valid at the time. I was granted DLR due to family life - Kids and marriage. Yes, I do intend to apply in my own right, 6 years DLR + 1 year Indefinite Leave to Remain. So going back to my previous...

Hello Guys, I am preparing to apply for neutralisation / citizenship in a few months and doing some research from here.

Just to add to amber's argument: My wife has visited my country 4years ago and got the visa stamp in her passport to prove. We have proof of co-habitating before in form of utilities bills are in both names even until now. we have been on holidays and we got pictures and receipts for it. Birthday ca...

I have family holiday photos, birthday cards, from in laws as well, yearly fathers day cards from my soon. Visits to theme parks n different zoos as well. Also with my mother in laws in them

Hello Amber, Would receipt from our holiday and booking confirmation help prove we are in a subsisting relationship? We have been on holiday every year and most recently her mom came along as well. Also, she wrote a letter stating that even yhough we are seperated, we are husband and wife and contin...

Amber wrote:If your circumstances have changed, they may refuse your DLR but if you have British children, they may instead give you 2.5 years FP life leave to remain.

I do understand what you are saying... either way I will be giving some sort of leave still.

Thanks for your reply

Ok no problem, wouldn't really know whether or not to classify your relationship as subsisting or not as it's a temporary separation so not sure how to consider your situation it's one for the lawyers or equivalent. Gut feeling says you can do it yourself still. All the best I know, that part of cl...

So would you advice on going through a solicitor or go ahead and do it myself pls? Thanks alot Obie

@believe2013 thanks alot for giving it a thought. Yes she will be writing a letter and everything documented. We only seperated as advice by our church and to seek counselling as well. We will be moving back together hopefully couples of weeks. I have been paying the rent even though I dont live the...

Well, initially when we seperated, we had a bad argument that led to me moving out and she had to apply for housing benefit as she didnt want nothing from me. She has since stopped her benefit about 3 months ago and I was paying the rent again even tthough we werent living together. Some of her util...

On basis of marriage and kids as well. My son is 9 and my daughter 3. I think maybe family. My initial application was through a lawyer. I had a valid visit visa
