New rules on UK migration

Her home country does not permit it. If she takes British Citizenship, which she can, she will not have the option to reinstate her home country citizenship on a dual basis.

So just now she remains on ILR

Does the IOM factor make things easier John?

Sorry John, I read your previous post again, the lady in question is not a Filipino.

For Citizenship. Only in a couple of minor senses, otherwise no. Same rules, Dave. All done through UKVI

She is not. The reason for mentioning her is she is on ILR indefinitely.

Don't you think its great when we can get together like this and have a good old moan?

Priceless in stress release

An interesting point for sure.

John has his own personal immigration officer in the IOM, have you not John?

Anyway if it all goes tits-up we'll create a British-Filipino mini-village in some country where we're all allowed to be

Not really. But they are more contactable here. A little more humane in their style.

We could take over the IOM

Moan, moan, bl@@dy moan.

Its okay if you like bikes.

I was just thinking, our loved ones are really oblivious to all this, I for one never discuss anything with the wife relating to any possible immigration problems that may arise in the future.

Really? I do. I ain't taking all the stress without her knowing about it!

We sit and whinge at the news all the time.

Yeah I do too, but then I'm the other way round to you guys. I'm the weak woman and he's the strong man

I give my wife a gist. But dont get bogged down in it. She isnt really interested in the nuts and bolts of it all.

Filipinos are without question more positive in their outlook on life than we are, or at least I am

Not a bad trait to have.

One of the many lovely things about them

Has the hubby settled in okay Lisa, did you get the FLR and has he found a job he likes?
