It's part of it. There's a whole load of boring differentials to that question and my role which I won't go into right now, but yeah, we assess peoples applications to become British nationals, check their documentation, their past employment history to see if they're genuine and have been paying taxes into the country, how they've supported themselves during their stay here money wise, any criminal convictions they may have had, if they were ever an overstayer on a visa or arrived here illegally when they first arrived.

There are other aspects it has an impact on, for instance, a non-EU national may look to marry an EU national via a sham marriage to help them obtain Indefinite Leave to Remain here easier.

I've seen this happen various times and am aware it does occur, in which case I'll tip off the UK Border Agency and have agents waiting to snag them before the wedding can go ahead. The "bride" and "groom" are then interviewed seperately, the "marriage" stopped from going ahead and often the accused is deported with their "partner" jailed and sentenced.

Very few get through now using this method. We're wise to it and legislation has tightened up a LOT in the last 18 months-3 years.

My works pretty far reaching, to be honest, extending into a lot of different areas. You have the right idea, though...
