Dando's answer is funny.\n\n#1 Were you born there or in UK territories?\n\n#2 Were your parents born there or in UK territories?\n\n#3 Are you in the country without working papers or visas and not as a tourist?

Suzanne,\n\nBe careful with your logic here.\n\nThere are Eastern Europeans living in the UK.\n\nOf all the people living in the UK, some are theives and some are scroungers. Some Eastern Europeans here are theives and scoungers.\n\nThat doesn't make [b] ALL [/b] Eastern Europeans living here thieves and scroungers.\n\nYou may have seen on the news that there is a lot of fuss about the Home Office not being able to find ex-covicts who should have been deported or illegal aliens.\n\nYou will have also seen the fuss about wanting to introduce identity cards and a national database of DNA, fingerprints and photographs.\n\nMost of us Britains seem to want the deportation of illegal aliens and foriegn criminals - but are against the idea of ID cards and a national database.\n\nThe simple fact is that unless the government authorities have a way of determining who should be here and who shouldn't - then they can't deport them. \n\nUntil there is a national database and an ID card system it is a long and arduous process to weed out those who are not here. However, the implications to our privacy and the opportunities to abuse the information are huge.\n\nI'd rather have some illegals wandering the country than risk a government abusing information held about me.\n\nCertainly, I am happy to accept people who come to this country, work hard and contribute to British society.\n\nI'm just going to have to accept that those who are unwilling to contribute are going to take a while to identify and send home.

and what.\n..if you have legal documents to work what is your problem  \nAre they trying to send you back to where you are from which l might add you do not say?\nYou need to rewrite your question so we can help answer you and steer you in the right direction...

You can go to your local police station and for a small fee they will give you that information. Make sure you take id with you. If you have any criminal record make sure you get it all cleared up before going to another country. They will hold it against you and you could end up in a nasty jail somewhere. I hope this has helped.

Ask this in the immigration Q&A.

I am amazed at the reaction of most people in the UK when it comes to foreigners.  If it wasn't for all the lazy gitts that don't want to work unless they are paid a fortune, there wouldn't be opportunities for foreigners to work here!\n\nThere's one based n Mayfair in London, the company is called Breytenbachs and their number is 02074993111.\n\nThey specialise in immigration and nationality.\n\nI hope you get your problem sorted out and that you become a contributing member of the UK workforce. Good luck!

1) Where are you travelling from - Abroad or just outside London\n2) Was the offence in the UK or abroad\n\nWithout knowing this we can't answer properly but, unless there are still outstanding warrants out on you, you should be fine.\n\nOf course if the crimes were in the UK and there are still warrants out they will let you in, and escort you to the nearest police station

I'd leave the country!  You should probably hook up with a fake passport, ID's, SS#'s etc...  You may even want to cut and color your hair, or wear a hat.  Boy am I glad I'm not in your position!!!

You don't say, which country that you are from..If I knew that, I could give you an intelligent answer..To take a guess, if you filled out all of your information correctly, and honestly, there could be a good chance, that you might get political asylum..Good Luck, to you..

Youll be fine if you have a reasonable and nice inspector.  If the inspector is an ass, then you might have some issues (probation, ect...)\n\nWith all the news now a days, its cool to hear people are still coming into this country legally, I comend you and hope it works out for you.  And dont shoplift!

United Kingdom is not a Kingdom nor safe haven for illegal immigrant. You need to report her to the bobby, police.\n\nShe would have better luck in USA, which is a safe haven for illegals.  1/3 of the 12 million of the illegals overstay after their visa expired, and never got caught.

Your status (as stated above) will not change and will remain the same as the day he walked out that door! Additionally, If you have reached the age of majority (18 yoa) your status will rely 100% on your actions!! not your fathers!\n\nBy the way...where are you now and what is your immigration classification? From your statement, you should of also receive your Green Card as a Family Preference Alien...are you just trying to get a free ticket to citizenship??

Only if you can really prove that you are being persecuted or that your liberties are being denied by the Uk, which could be very difficult. It also depends on the country, but again vey few would give you asylum.

Go to the immigration department and admit what you have done. If you have no bad police record and you have never been sued, then maybe they will review your case and possibly grant you the naturalisation. (Let us face it, if the immigration people were so serious, they would control those allowed into the country on a limited visa, at least 6 months prior to it expiring. Accordingly these people are not doing their job properly! They would not want this to get out!). \nOn the other hand, they could arrest you, put you away and fine you. \nThat is the risk, but if you ask me, honesty is the best policy, and that would be to your advantage in the described situation!\n\nGood luck!

Yeah (at least I know it is in the UK). I've changed my signiture loads of times and no-one has ever brought it up. I think it's more a thing that u use as ur identity and as long as ur the right person and not comiting a crime then there's no problem.
