Can you confirm you are using the PBS Dependent child form (you may want to open the link in a different browser or on a different computer to the one you are using for your current application, to avoid mixing up the two forms)?
April 2024 – 4.5 months stay May 2025 – just under 6 months stay 10.5 months out of the past 19 months being in the UK on a visit visa may trigger at least a second look at their visit plans and at least a few questions at the time of their visit visa renewal. the fact that they’d only be staying fo ...
Your husband almost certainly does not qualify for a visit visa to the UK because, for a visit visa, he will need to demonstrate that he has stronger ties to Pakistan than he has to the UK, where he has a spouse and family. What proof of strong ties did he show that would outweigh his spouse living ...
Also, will her 5-year ILR (Indefinite Leave to Remain) clock continue from her previous 3 years, or will it reset since she’d be applying from outside the UK? As your spouse will be applying for an entry clearance from India and not an extension within the UK, I believe that the ILR clock will r ...
My brother is planning to apply from Pakistan to visit Portugal with me (his first time outside the country), I am a British citizen. Are you a British citizen resident in the Schengen Zone? If yes, are you resident in Portugal? Otherwise, how is your British citizenship relevant to a visit visa ...
I would like to confirm whether this travel pattern could cause issues at the border or raise concerns for the immigration officer — for example, being questioned about frequent visits or being refused entry — even though each visit has been under 6 months and within visa validity. It can. There is ...
Your visa remains valid till the date stated for it or, if curtailed, the date in the curtailment letter. The curtailment letter make take some time (weeks or even months) to come. To the best of my knowledge, AR reviews have nothing to do with curtailment letters. Different, unrelated processes and ...
Not only defence or diplomacy, there are some other strategic industries in the UK that require British citizenship for some "key" positions. I applied for a job in the nuclear sector before getting citizenship and the hiring manager contacted me asking if I was a British citizen. I only had ILR at ...
Although your questions have been answered above, it may help you to understand why your adult children can't apply as your dependents any more. Once the person has ILR, they are no longer dependent on their sponsor, whether spouse or parent (or child in some cases), for their immigration status ...
Can I apply for extension outside UK in this case? As CR001 has advised above, an extension can be applied for only within the UK. Not only that, once the application has been made, the applicant should not leave the UK until they get informed that their leave extension has been granted. If they ...
Children born abroad to non-British parents follow the same pathway as the second/less-privileged parent, qualify for ILR with the second parent and can register as British citizens when both the child and one parent have ILR AND the other parent has become a British citizen or is applying for ...
You may have to wait for an answer to your question simply because not many people would have been in your situation. I am inclined to think your situation may be unique as I don't recall such a question on the forums before. Most people would/should have made a copy/digital scan of the ...
I have already lost principal job offers that specifically required citizenship, and it's pointless to apply for more while I'm awaiting the result. I'm intrigued by this statement and wonder if that has a role to play in the delay. To the best of my knowledge, the only jobs that require British ...
I don’t believe children born in the UK to British citizens are required to go through the naturalisation process. Correct. Children born to British citizens in the UK are British citizens otherwise than by descent automatically. But your children were not born to British citizens in the UK. They w ...
Don't know much about the current rules for cash savings, but I think that £100,000 held for a year should be sufficient to meet the requirement. But wait for others to advise further. Re permitted absences on a spousal visa, again not certain (so wait for others to advise), but I don't think there ...
If both parents and the overseas-born child have either ILR or Settled Status, the child can be registered as British citizen at the same time as at least one parent is applying for naturalisation.
I completed 10 years of continuous lawful residence, and also spent 5 years as a dependent of an ILR holder. Due to a misunderstanding of the visa rules and some unexpected family circumstances, I submitted my ILR application three months late. As a general rule, you need to have valid leave at the ...
Baby can re-enter the UK multiple times as long as both the passport and the CoE-RoA are valid. Be aware that the baby can have either a British passport OR a CoE-RoA. When the British passport is issued, the CoE-RoA will be cancelled by a stamp mark across it. Also be aware that if you apply for ...
Simply put, I'd advise against travelling. You can't apply for an extension from outside the UK. An extension application must be made within the UK. If you make the application and leave the UK, the application is automatically considered withdrawn. Your wife will need to stay in the UK from the ...
Your children's immigration status will be in line with that of the second/less-privileged parent. As you are on ILR, but your husband is still on Skilled Worker visa, your children's status will be in line with your husband's and they will become his dependents. Therefore, I think you should use ...
What ChatGPT did get right is the section of the British Nationality Act that is relevant to the foreign born children of the newly naturalised children. It is Section 3(1) of the British Nationality Act 1981. And it is registration at discretion. But that is where the accuracy ends. Discretion does ...
They do stay regularly at my flat, we do share bills but there is no proof of this as I pay everything in my name if this makes sense? I don't think "regular" stays would count. The two of you need to stay together as a couple, for those two years. Also, shared bills and finances. You'd need proof ...
When applying for my spouse can i add my kid aged 21 along with her as additional applicant as i am including my 2 kids below 18 as additional application. The child above 18 will not be an application for registration of a child as a British citizen, because they are no longer children in the eyes ...
