You haven't mentioned if your spouse and children have ILR. Your spouse and any children born outside the UK will need ILR before applying for naturalisation. Your children under the age of 18 born abroad can apply with you if your spouse also has ILR. Your spouse can apply either after they have ha...
Let's look at it realistically. A quick assessment of a naturalisation application would take 2-3 months. If successful, you'd then have to wait for at least 3 weeks for the citizenship ceremony, assuming again that you get one quickly or that you go for a private citizenship ceremony (which costs m...
If the child was born on or after the date that either parent got naturalised, they can apply for a British passport directly . You will need your own or the other parent's naturalisation certificate and the baby's birth certificate. Be aware that first British passports for children born in the Sub...
Many thanks for your information. Much appreciated.. Just one query.. If so, can I apply for citizenship after living continuously for a year since I enter? Nope as you might not meet the residency requirements. You mentioned I do not meet residency requirements.. is it because I would be outside o...
1- Can I extend the Visa only for 6 months? No. The period for each grant of visa is fixed, not something you can alter at your convenience. 2- Do I need to pay IHS fees (2500 approx) for my three dependent ? (My wife and both son turned adult recently) Either you or they would need to make the pay...
Once ILR is approved, can she apply for Naturalisation the next day because she is the spouse of British citizen? Yes. Her route to ILR is immaterial. So long as she is married to a British citizen and she has ILR on the date of naturalisation application, she can apply for ILR immediately after be...
I wondered whether they will be in trouble if they travel abroad while their case is under consideration No. Registration and naturalisation applications are not immigration applications. The immigration pathway ends at ILR. Can they use their ILR BRPs to enter the UK? Yes, because at least for you...
3. Can he travel outside the UK and return back without violating UK immigration law during this time? He can leave but won't be able to come back if he has no valid visa. To build on CR001 's answer, if he leaves the UK, your son will need either a visa or a British passport to return to the UK. A...
i want to travel back to pakistan to get married so that my spouse can come as my depenedent visa in uk. Be aware that you can only sponsor your spouse as a student dependent if you are doing a post-graduate course. I agree with AmazonianX that I don't see it as an issue for you to travel outside t...
Your becoming a British citizen has no impact on her immigration journey. She needs to meet all the requirements of the immigration journey that she is on. Assuming that she is on a family member of a person settled in the UK visa, she needs to complete five years on that visa, LITUK test, English l...
My interpretation is that the situation is much more nuanced than that. Also note that the interpretation that I gave above is not mine, but that of the Home Office, whose caseworkers would follow that interpretation. My interpretation of the the purpose of the amendments in 2015 (Section 4E to 4J o...
She will likely not qualify for registration under Section 4F. (Page 11) Registration under section 4F The Law A person qualifies for registration under section 4F if: • their mother was not married to the natural father at the time of their birth • they have never been a British citizen • their par...
The Home Office (and other departments of state) store information only for limited periods of time . So a SAR for a person who died in 1997 will get very few to no results. The onus of preserving immigration records is on the applicant/individual, not the government department. I agree with alterha...
I have split your post into a separate thread because on these forums it is considered rude to place your query inside another person's thread. Does the first 2.5 years on a spouse visa counts towards the 10 years or not because if it does am not switching back to 5 years.? All valid continuous in-t...
If the children are born in the UK, they are entitled to register directly as British citizens on Form MN1. I don't think they need to apply for an Indian passport if they were born in the UK and have never left the UK. Once they are registered as British citizens, they can apply for a British passp...
The MP didn't really help. The first one just copied HO's email and the MP for the county we moved to got told the same thing HO has been saying to me and that's all he did. Not sure what you expected the MP to do anyway. MPs don't have any control or power over the Home Office . And I doubt that t...
With regard to the right of abode, if he was a CUKC by birth effective in 1949 when the act took effect, he (would have) had the right of abode on 31 December 1982. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5b06a7ab40f0b60fa99a91c9/cukc-right-of-abode-flowchart-v1.0.pdf Where in that document ...
please help me understand ONE main point which is center of this approach"When wife will get ILR, then by law (one parent is national and other ILR) , kids will get ILR based on that requirement(are there any other requirement other then this). Surely it must have occurred to you to wonder as ...
In order for your child to be issued a British passport as a British citizen by descent, you need to prove that you are a British citizen otherwise than by descent . Mere birth in the UK is not enough. You need to prove that either one parent was settled in the UK at the time of your birth too. If y...
If they started their spousal/family visa journey before the recent increase in the Minimum Income Requirement, to the best of my knowledge, they need to meet the same requirements as they had to before the increase. But wait for others to respond. On a separate note, I am sure you are aware, but ju...
