naturalisation for my partner?
Posted: Thu Sep 28, 2017 12:09 pm
Dear friends
My husband and I applied for naturalisation earlier this year after holding ILR for a year. I got approved and now have a british passport but my husband's application was refused.
Grounds for refusal were that in the 5 year period of stay needed for naturalisation, he was overstay for a period of about 15 months. He was subsequently granted visa and then got ILR last year(based on the rule of having entered UK before 2009? whereby one needs only a 2 year residence)
I kind of forgot about it and applied for his naturalisation not realising that he was short of time spent.
In the rejection letter HO have written that he will be eligible to apply in 2018 after he has completed the full 5 years, however now that I have my passport, can he apply as spouse of BC under 3 year residence?
Thank you in advance
