Saimah Razzaq discusses making a British Citizenship application when married to a British citizen. For more information on British Citizenship by marriage, please visit: iasservices.or...
I don't understand. According to what you said the legally married spouse of a British citizen can apply for citizenship after 3 years provided they have ILR (and other requirements), but the problem is that according to my research (maybe I'm wrong) ILR can only be obtained by the spouse of a British Citizen after 5 years. So my question is, how can one obtain British citizenship after 3 years of being married if without ILR
The requirement is to hold ILR at the date of application. For a spouse that would definitely be a residency of 5 years under the Spouse visa. The residency requirements for Naturalisation assesses that the applicant has been in the UK for the past 3 years and holds ILR at the date of application.
@@ImmigrationAdviceServiceUK the question still remains unanswered , from what is written everywhere and even on your website, you cant get ILR until after 5 years of being on a spouse visa so how is it possible to get ILR after 3 years ?
Hi, I’m now married to a woman from the UK and me I’m not in Algeria and her dad is Algeria and has a British passport and her mum is fully English. What can I do to get the citizenship?, and is it true that she should held on her bank account £18.000? Thank you :)
Hi, I have a question, please can you enlighten me as to how to go about applying for a British passport/British citizenship for my daughter who was born in 1983 in Zimbabwe/Harare , her date of birth is 1 December 1983, her biological father n I had a very short relationship which resulted in her conception and but I was in a relationship with my partner (who was British, South Wales but living in Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 but he’s now deceased), we lived together during my pregnancy 🤰 with my daughter until I gave birth to her, and he willingly registered my baby 👶🏻 girl in his name, and since her birth she has never known her biological father but my husband whom I married in 5 August 1988 after we had a second son 🧒 in 1985 and another daughter born in 28 September 1988, he has never treated my daughter any different from his biological children, he fathered all of my three children equally right. Unfortunately he passed away leaving me with three children to look after alone, it was tough for me as a single parent now. I applied for British passport for my other two kids n they got it, I had to do it coz my late husbands mom was the only person left on his family side, and she knew all the information pertaining to her grandkids British passport application n I didn’t want to miss that coz she was now very old. With her help in applying for kids British passport it was successful n they got their British passport. Now my daughter (first born) I applied twice n the denied her because they say that she’s not he’s biological child, so meaning that the name of the father on her birth certificate it’s invalid or it’s not recognised in the British law? Her birth certificate is exactly the same as her brother n sister but she was denied twice? I don’t understand pse explain coz I’m confused 🤷♀️ here, I need explanation why she’s being treated in way by your officers. She is not the first or last child in this situation, i really need answers, I don’t know if I’m making any sense?
Your daughter may be a British Citizen depending on what type of British Citizenship her biological father held. An application for a passport can only be made if you can provide evidence of her biological father and his citizenship. Your matter is complex and I would recommend that you contact us to seek further advice on this matter.
