After ILR . . .

Post by Pyromaniac » Wed Jun 10, 2009 9:50 am

Hi all,

Wife recieved her ILR yesterday 5 weeks after applying by post :D

Probably a stupid query now -

Citizenship is the next obvious step for most I guess.

Wife does not want citizenship - she is Indonesian and it is not allowed for her to dual nationality, she would lose a lot of what she has in Indonesia should she become a BC - and she does not want to lose her national id I guess.

Are there likely to be any problems just carrying on as an ILR holder and not pursuing citizenship, I assume she can not lose her ILR or be 'forced' to make a choice between ILR and citizenship later down the line ?

I cant see that there is any difference in rights or the paracticalities of being here in the UK by staying with ILR over citizenship.

( yes - we realise the UK passport would have advantages with travel etc etc )

Probably just needless worrying on my behalf !

Many Thanks

Gerry
