Hi

we have just received my wife ILR BRP card. It is valid until 31/12/2024. What will happen when it expires?

Many thanks, CR001

Hello I am preparing a naturalisation application for my wife. I have already been naturalised in 2020: 1) I have heard someone saying that for her to qualify for not having to wait 12 month after ILR and for only 3 years of residence, her husband (me) should be a ‘true’ British citizen (e.g. born in ...

Hi I am preparing a naturalization application for my wife. I have already been naturalized as British Citizen in 2020, so I am assuming that: 1) she can apply immediately upon receiving ILR and 2) she needs to prove residency in UK the for 3 years only (please correct me if these two assumptions ...

Thanks

I mean do we need to add a note about this in the cover letter? and will this delay the processing of her application (we are planning to apply using the priority service).

She was finger printed, and her passport scanned on arrival. We found the paper boarding pass (the small part that is given to us after they keep the main one). We also should have online check-in confirmation sent by email. Is there anything we can do further?

Hi, I am preparing for my wife's ILR application and have been checking UK arrival stamps on her passport. It does seem that the last time we returned from a trip abroad (on 13 January 2022), the immigration officer must have forgotten to stamp her passport on arrival. Will this cause an issue with ...

Many tanks for the advice. I want to use a solicitor as I once failed to know about some required evidence and had a disappointment. Is there any other way of making sure that I have supplied all required evidence and that my application is correct without going to the expense of hiring a solicitor?

Apologies if this is not the right category for posting this question. I was trying to find out the average (and possibly the minimum and maximum) hourly rate for an immigration solicitor in the UK, and the same for an immigration executive (paralegal).

Hi Can you please tell me if applying for prescription charge exemption (medical) violates the NO PUBLIC FUNDS condition on a residence permit. For context. If a person lives in the UK on a Tier 2 PBS dependant leave to remain that stipulates no access to public funds, and the person was diagnosed ...
