Hello,
Any idea on getting British citizenship for those who are on EU route. I am non-EU family member of EU national. EU law says 5 years and then automaticly you get Permanent Residence. So, what are new rules for that?
thank you

I have an indefinite leave to stay visa but have been out of the country for 8 years due to personal reasons. I would like to return to live and work in the UK and make it my home. Is my Indefinite Leave to Stay still valid. Please let me know asap as I have a job lined up and a national insurance number. I was married to a
British Citizen but have subsequently divorced.

Hello. I appreciate that the law will come into effect in Jul 10, but if, as a non EU citizen, I have Indefinite Leave to Remain (as from Nov 09) and am married to a British Citizen, will I still be able to apply for full UK Citizenship (Right of Abode) in Nov 10 (i.e. under the ‘old’ rules, rather than those coming into play in Jul 10)? Thank you for any reply.

This law is the most ridiculous there can be and has been.I did my bachelors degree in the UK. i have been in the UK for 5 years now.Have been a good immigrant,my taxes have been taken off me religiously for the past 5 years yet they bring all these laws that are useless to make law abiding people suffer the most. whereas they allow illegal immigrants to leave here for 14 years and become citizens. Who are you fooling britain?

It appears that law abiding people are punished for good behaviour while people who are here illegally and treated with leniency. This is apalling!!I started my professional job in 2008 on a work permit until 2013. Are then saying i will need a further 8-10 years after undergraduate years before i become a permanent resident or british citizen? Who cares, you can as well eat your passport. When am done here, i will head back to my sweet country!!!

At the end of the day we are here to help each other, you rub my back and i rub yours, but if the govt thinks it has rubbed my back enough and can’t continue, then its their loss. Before you know what’s happening there’ll be mass migration of skilled workers from the UK to other countries who respect them for what they bring!!

Tell me, have we not done enough?We do not have recourse to public fund, we work so that we can pay taxes to take care of lazy, healthy people who have been spoilt by their government. Whereas innocent citizens can’t even get a pat on their back!!!Those who work whether immigrants or nationals suffer the most.What a society. You guys should better start thinking properly for once.This circus is blatantly un-heard of.

Hi there:
I came into the UK in sept 2003 on a student visa and now am on hsmp. As per the any category lawful stay PR, i would be eligible in 2013 for PR.
What happens to such cases? The bill only mentions that PR for work permit holders has been changed from 5 to 8 years; I havent come across anything that says the any category lawful stay PR has been increased.
Can you please advise what happens to such cases?
