Hi Mai201555

Congratulations dear, sorry I was busy sorting out my son's BRP card as his date of birth was wrong.
So now it's sorted.

Anyway now, I have a few questions. If any one can help me answer:-
1. When I applied for asylum initially, I handed over my National Passport to them and when my asylum was granted. HO sent my National Passport back. However, I applied for Travel Document so I had to send my National Passport back to them. I received my Travel Document.
But now, I want my national passport back. When I called HO, they said you may be able to get it. Maybe Yes maybe No. They said send a letter to HO requesting it back with reasons. So I thought forget it, as I am not planning to travel to my home country till I get my British Passport.
So now, my question is Has anyone who got their ILR granted had the same issue or were they able to get it?

2. I am also planning on doing the Naturalisation, hence I have to do the life in the UK. But does anyone know, if we have to wait an year to do the naturalisation or we can straight away go ahead and do it whenever.

3. As I checked on UK gov website, only life in the UK is required for those who were granted 5 years refugee. Does anyone know if I also have to do the english test before the naturalisation.

4. if there is anyone who can advice me, step by step on what needs doing, please do so. Your help is really appreciated. I would like to know from someone who has received ILR and done all this recently as the rules have changed quite recently.

5. Also, my son was born here in the UK after I was granted refugee. So does he have to do the naturalisation or can he just register as a british citizen?

All this is really confusing and i don't want to waste any money on lawyers. Any advice would do.

Thanks all and good luck to those who are waiting... believe me guys... you will surely get it!
And to those who got it congratulations... and good luck with all that needs doing after ILR... PHEW...

Congs Mahm256! Enjoy the rest of your life and never look back on this stress waiting for ILR.

Anais34 thanks very much for your supportive message. I am praying I don't have very long to wait now. It will be 5 months on June 21st.

Makul2009, you have to wait a year to qualify for naturalisation I have read but you can do life in U.K test anytime after getting ILR. Your son will naturalise with you if they have ilr but any baby you have after getting ilr can register British citizen.
I think depending on your academic level e.g if you have a Bristish degree you don't need English test if you don't then you have to do it. If I got ILR I would wait until after naturalisation to reclaim national passport. It's safer I think.

Much love to you all.

Let's hope for more good news.

Such a long but don't despair. It is well worth the wait once everything comes through you will soon forget what a agonising wait it was. Best wishes
