jes2jes, Thanks for your reply. You can make an application under the LRC and if you can prove that you had any connections to the UK during those period and fulfill all the other conditions during the period of the gap, your case might be considered but it is very likely the application would be re...
Thanks. So this means that if either parents get ILR AFTER the child is born, the child has up to 18 years to register as a british citizen? Sorry. I just wanted to confirm this. Cos I had an argument (well more like difference in opinion) with a friend last night who was of the opinion that the pa...
Can application for British Citizenship be made at any time so long as there is proof that the baby is born in the UK and proof that at some point either parent got ILR? Any time up to age 18. However bear in mind that where child is aged 10 or over, any issues with the child's character (teenage p...
I suppose I would be in the same situation as you when my wife gets her ILR. I presume, that once any one parent gets ILR, the baby (if born in the UK) would automatically be a British Citizen. Slightly different, in that I think that in your case the child would be entitled to be registered as a B...
Can you explain how the gap came about and what was your status then? Did you lodge an application during this period of the gap i.e. a pending LTR application or your visa expired? Your answer concerning your above circumstance would determine whether you are eligible under the 10 year rule or not...

Hi, Morning all. My baby is due next month. :D My wife holds a HSMP and I hold a work-permit-dependant. What should I do regarding the baby's visa? When do I apply? We are both from Malaysia. How much would it cost and how long would the application take? Thanks. Monkey How long have you/your wife ...

You can try, but it's a lot of money down the drain if you're unsuccessful. Why don't you search the BIA site and read the ILR criteria thoroughly including the sections on case worker's discretion? The bods at the home office don't have anything more than those guidelines so if after reading them ...
Hi, I am due for my ILR application on the 30th of August 2007. My visa history is as follows: 1) August 1997 - Oct 2003 : Student Visa (6 years 2 months) - 2 seperate student visas, College then University 2) Oct 2003 - April 2004 : Visitor's Visa (6 months) required to attend an interview in Novem...
All, Whoa! this is getting very complicated! I am a dependant of my wife who holds a Permit Free Training Visa. She is a doctor. Because she is on the PFTV, as I learnt from a previous post, she would not be eligible to apply for ILR using the 4 year rule. Would me holding a dependant visa of someon...
Hi, My visitors visa lasted till 24 April 04 although I went back home. I was offered the job before I went back in December. Hence there was intention to come back (I have the offer letter). The TWES application took a long time because I was back in my home country. I got the TWES visa which was s...
Kayamali / John, Thanks for that. I have got a week gap between my Visitor's visa and the TWES visa. Does that mean that my counter reseted to zero? The reason why I had to switch to a visitor's visa was because I had a job interview, which I was offered and then resulted in gaining the TWES. Would ...
Hello, I have been in the UK since 1997. In short, my status is: Sept 1997 - Oct 2003 : Student Visa (6 years 1 month) Oct 2003 - Dec 2003: Vistor's visa (2 months) Dec 2003 - May 2004: Went back to my home country (5 months) May 2004 - Jan 2006: TWES work permit (1 year 8 months) Jan 2006 - now: De...
Dear Sirs, Perhaps you can help. I am on the TWES (expires May 2006) and my fiance and I are getting married at the end of this year. We are getting married at our home country and my understanding is that I would have to make an application to switch my visa status from a TWES holder to a dependant...
Thanks for your advise. It could be as simple as showing all the documents at the British Counsulate in Malaysia for me to change my visa status to a dependant vise. Then again it could be more complicated than that........
I am getting rather worried about this now. My company is going to advertise for this position and I want to know my chances in terms of obtaining a full work permit.
Hello, I currently hold a TWES permit and I have one more year left on it. (total of 2 years). I have been offered a permenant possition with my current employer and now I have 2 options. a) convert the TWES into a full work permit, or b) get married to my girlfriend (we are actually engaged, and th...
