Thanking you in anticipation.
Nationality Policy Team wrote:Your request has been handled as a routine enquiry and not under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
I can confirm that nationality policy does not contain a definition of the word ‘protracted’ as referred to in paragraph 7.5(g) of the nationality guidance. Nationality caseworkers consider each application on its own merits referring to the case history of the ILR application. If the caseworker determines that a delay occurred during the ILR application which was no fault of the applicants and the other requirements of paragraph 7.5(g) are met then discretion may be exercised in the applicants favour.
In general terms, we would expect to exercise this discretion where the delay was due to failings on the part of the UK Border Agency. Examples of this might be where there had been delays in dealing with the case due to an increased volume of applications, or the file being with another part of the Agency. If, however, the delays were due to the applicant not responding to correspondence, or sending incorrect documentation which resulted in further enquiries, we would not exercise discretion on this basis.
In the example you have outlined above, if a delay had occurred during Mr P’s application for ILR and it is shown that this delay was through no fault of his own then the policy for discretion detailed in paragraph 7.5(g) of the Nationality guidance will normally be applied.
However, this decision will rest with the caseworker considering the application for British citizenship. Applicants are advised to satisfy themselves that they meet the requirements for British citizenship before making an application as the fee for an unsuccessful or withdrawn application will not be refunded.
Don't worry you will not have a problem.nats wrote:Damanisshallo or Spidery_thread or anyone:
I have started the new full time job and provided my employer with my passport copy, acknowledgement letter and biometric invitation letter. and told that i am waiting for my ILR as its over 6 months now and about to come.

Do you think HO will create any issue or objection on my full time job now?

Thanks
Out of curiosity, Why not going for a Premium Service????FLR(M) Guidance wrote:The reasons for not being able to provide the original document must be explained in a covering letter. We are unlikely to grant your application without the original document.
Is your circumstance mentioned in the above list? and Note 7 from FLR(M) Application Form does not applies to you.FLR(M) FORM Note 6 wrote:If you are unable to provide your passport or travel document, you may only submit other evidence of your nationality in certain circumstances.
These circumstances are;
• Where your passport has been lost or stolen
• Where your passport has expired and been returned to the relevant authorities, or
• Where the passport is with another part of the UK Border Agency.
I think it is for SET(M). where you can use Settlement Checking ServiceKhall75 wrote:I did tried to go to the window and do it the same day but they don't have appointments available till end of April and I had only 28 days after my ILR which was approved on 5 January 12.
Someone just now told me that if I go to the post office they have some sort of service where they will check my documents and verify it. Then I can keep my documents. Not sure though
Thanks

1. because your not in full time studies at the moment and a student visa is allowed to work more than 20hrs if they are not in term time.
2. If you have a all validity with you 10yrs ILR. I am sure they will grant you PR. and they won't check what ure working in the meantime (when they are deciding).
This is unless you are very very very unlucky. But don't worry

Dear i just have read your post. My prayers are with u as i already have gone through with this pain when my lovely brother passed away back in November. I requested our MP who wrote to them but they did not reploy for two wks then our MP directly talk with some one in ukba and explain the and request them to process the application same day. And i got my visa. It took altogather 17 days.Pari_in_kwest wrote:Thanks, just spoke to the local government who sounded supportive. They said they will write to the Home Office on my behalf but I am still waiting for the Doctor's certificate from India before the MP could arrange to send a letter to the Home Office.
No, she cannot apply for her ILR, she rather needs to apply for FLR(M) and the very next day she can apply for ILR.Punjabis wrote:Can any one tell me my Wife is with me as my dependent previously (tier 1 migrant ) over 5years now.

Thanks for your quick reply Damanisshallo, I have been reading this forum every day you have been very helpfull.

There is no such rule to switch within 28 days AFAIK (I've confirmed the same with the HO this after for someone else and the lady over the phone said there is no such rule and further asked me where did I got this information from). However, someone has experienced this but later got through here
Punjabis wrote: It's means I have to apply twice for her (means have to pay twice)?
Yes
Also please can I apply now as she still have visa for another 3 months. Or do I have to apply in last 28 days of her visa finished.
This is what the UKBA adviser told me yesterday, but in your case your wife has already been here for 5 yrs I think you can apply(there are always mixed reactions and this is really a grey area). Having said this, if you can book an appointment for FLR(M), they might advise you if she can or cannot make an application yet. The good thing is, they wouldn't charge you if they cannot proceed.
Also I have children born here 5 and 3 yrs old. Correct me if I'm wrong I just have to register them? Which form? And how?
Use MN1 form for your kids and try to use NCS, that way you can still keep hold of your original docs.

ILR based on long residency applied: 28/06/2012
Biometrics done: 28/08/2012
ILR approval date: 26/01/2013
my 10 years: student visa (2000-2006)+ dependent visa on my husband (2006-2013) I could not apply for ILR in 2010 as I had a visitor visa once between student visas in 2001 which meant my 10 year started being counted from 2002, Jan.
*my 6 weeks gap:
1) my husband applied for psw visa with me being dependent (in time application) in 2008, but we were not aware that I had to fill out a seperate application from him. With no application to consider, my passport came back after a visa expiry date(24/11/2008), which made me an overstayer.
2) my husband's application was soon refused due to insufficient funds in a bank which was a mistake on our side. He appealed and won the case in early jan, 2009. Then I resubmitted a new application form in 7/01/2009. My visa was issued in may 2009.
* I have 530 days out of the country which is very close to the limit of 540 days(?). 3 months outside in 2005, 5 and a half months in 2010 (a document submitted to support the reason)
3) my husband was granted his ILR in june 2012 and I have a daughter who was born here (this might have helped my case, I reckon?)
anyway, I think I must have had a good reason to be disapproved but its good news finally. It has been such a long journey and the 7 month waiting was desperate and painful. That is why I am writing this to someone who might have a complicated case like mine.
thank you very much for all the help I got from this site and hope your long waiting will be over soon! good luck to all
