if you leave the UK for 2yrs or more in one trip you will lose your ILR, and if you want to come back to the UK to settle, you would have to go thru the whole visa process againit will cost you more, there are more restrictions, tests to do now, and this time it will take you longer (5yrs minimum ) to be able to apply for citizenship.
so get a British passport ASAP.
just talk to my husband, and he said why should i get a british passport, no need for that because we are coming back here.. it really upsets me.Originally Posted by joebloggs

we are not coming back i mean
... d'you mean your husband wants to return to your homeland? Or would he prefer you both stayed here?
He wants to return in my homeland for good.
It's not my intention to come between husband and wife.
But there has been many many cases like yours where British Citizenship was eligible but not taken up. Then after 2 years or more came a real need to return to UK.
90% of cases due to health reasons. The wife was unable to return because the ILR had expired due to 2 years out of UK and presented huge problems. UKBA are extremely strict on this point. Once two years has gone you will find extreme difficulty to ever return to UK with your husband. If he needs your help to travel then even he will find difficulty without you.
Don't think this is uncommon. It's more common than you would imagine.
I would urge you to discuss with your husband and consider this very important opportunity.
Apart from that, he find it impossible to secure permanent residence in Phils without your support and signed application.!!!!
I'm not suggesting blackmail but it's a potential negotiating platform.
Don't give up.
Let us know what happens. Please. This is serious stuff.
i will try and talk to him again next time, and i will let you know what the outcome will be, thank you very much, i really appreciated this.
Nor mine,
...... so would I!
... it really IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT you do so!
Believe me, Terpe is one of the most experienced people on this forum ... and knows what he's talking about.
But WHY?Especially when you've come this far ... and discovered the practical advantages to be derived from British Citizenship.
Honestly I don't know as well. He is too selfish I think..But WHY?
well that might be yours/his plans now, but you dont know whats around the corner and things change.. some people have regretted not apply for a British Passport b4 they left ..just talk to my husband, and he said why should i get a british passport, no need for that because we are coming back here.. it really upsets me.
