Why wonderExcel wrote:I personally believe that the person (Non-EU Resident in particular) who registers on IRIS will be successfully locked on the only one identity, which is just the initiative why the government introduced the ID Card.
Therefore each time when this person enters the UK using IRIS, the information will be recorded and filed in a huge database, which surely can and will be used by HO when in the future deciding any applications, including ILR. Hence, it doesn't matter whether he/she has the stamps on the passport or not.
However, this may leave one question: Supposedly a person with ILR registered on IRIS and later when qualified has successfully applied for Naturalisation and obtained British Passport, but he still decides to enter the UK custom using the original passport (with ILR stamp), will the IRIS system be updated quickly enough to "identify" this person's status and possibly deny his entry?
Hope someone can clarify this.
Hmm, now what puzzles me is that because UK recognise dual or multi nationality, this person can still choose to use original Passport, which probably means that if he decides not to inform the UKBA of the change, it is unlikely that IRIS can keep up so as to stop this person entering UK.republique wrote:Why wonderExcel wrote:I personally believe that the person (Non-EU Resident in particular) who registers on IRIS will be successfully locked on the only one identity, which is just the initiative why the government introduced the ID Card.

The website tells you that you must update your status yourself
Excel: Once you get British nationality, your ILR becomes technically invalid and you are required to use either a British passport or Right of Abode stamp. If you decide 'not to inform the UKBA of the change', you are only going to do yourself harm in the long run. Why wouldn't you apply for a British passport and then update your IRIS?Hmm, now what puzzles me is that because UK recognise dual or multi nationality, this person can still choose to use original Passport, which probably means that if he decides not to inform the UKBA of the change, it is unlikely that IRIS can keep up so as to stop this person entering UK.
ilr_hopeful: My boss uses IRIS (permanent resident for nearly 20 years but has never gone for British citizenship.) He thinks it's brilliant... He does not have to wait in the non-EU queue, and no one asks him about his visa status.Anyone has any negative experiences? Or heard of anyone having a negative experience because they used the IRIS service?
Just that I frequently travel to Europe on business and this will help me immensely on re-entry.

Just the same as if you had gone to a desk. Iris is notoriously useless and will be got rid of soon.republique wrote:me like it tooMr Rusty wrote:

but if you do have luggage instead of carry on, well at least you can go to the toilet while you wait
The only negative thing I can add is that once it took a long time for the machine to process my scan. I thought I was going to get stuck in the booth and wondered what kind of interrogation I would get if it had happened.
Eh? why is that?UKBAbble wrote:Just the same as if you had gone to a desk. Iris is notoriously useless and will be got rid of soon.republique wrote:me like it tooMr Rusty wrote:

Because facial recognition is being installed and that will do away with Iris.republique wrote:Eh? why is that?UKBAbble wrote:Just the same as if you had gone to a desk. Iris is notoriously useless and will be got rid of soon.republique wrote:me like it tooMr Rusty wrote:

This doesn't seem to have answered my question. What I was concerned is where I can find information that mentioning that ILR becomes invalid after becoming a British Citizen.paulp wrote:A british citizen is no longer subject to immigration control.Excel wrote:Hi Whirly, I have been told by some people about this but never found the official source of this information. Do you happen to have the link of this? Please share, thanks.
I'm sure someone can provide a link, or you can search the UKBA site for more info on citizenship.Some Information for British Nationals
As a British Citizen, you now have a right of abode in the UK and are no longer subject to any form of immigration control. This applies equally to any of your family registered with you and to any children born to you from now on, unless for any reason they are not British Citizens at birth.
This means that your previous indefinite leave to enter/remain, or settled status, no longer applies to you. If you wish to travel on a non-British passport, it must be endorsed to show that you have the right of abode. This is not the same as saying you are a British Citizen.
Thanks for the clarification.ilr_hopeful wrote:Just my two cents...
I received confirmation from a few friends that the IRIS recognition does NOT affect processing of ILR. The 'stamps' are available with HO and one can mention this in the application.
