I would say consult a Lawyer and do not disclose any information to them until a good lawyer/barrister okays it.

Please do familiarise yourself with the current form AN. Providing 10 years employment history is now an addition in the new form since May 2015 and has to be completed by all applicants.

Dear Mind202,
Six months before there wasn't ten years work history column in naturalization application form they just added it recently & if they added this column now so there must be some reason for that If you give them just your study record even you also have done work for that period & if they check your work history from HMRC as well so it will call deception & in naturalization cases there is no right of appeal they will allow
you just Administrative review which will most likely also be refused.
Dear i think as you already got 10 years ILR so in my opinion you should take a good profesional advice to solve this issue.
KInd Regard

If you have worked more than the hours your were permitted to work as a student, you will have a problem. Some members on the forum who applied for citizenship with the same issued have been refused and lost their fees.

hi everyone,

The point are off the licence now.
I am wondering how bad these judgements will effect my application. What is best way to deal with it.
I will representing myself in premium service without any solicitor.

Hello Obie/Other Moderators,
I was granted FLRFP alongside my family last week and my children will be eligible to register as British Citizen using Form T once they reached Age 10 with eldest due next year.
Question; Will the time spent from either 2008 when I applied for EEA Residence Card, Nov. 2009 when RCs were Granted for myself and wife or 2006 that I came to UK vis-a-vis that my first child was born in UK count towards 10 Years Long Residence ILR Route?
Possible 10 Years ILR LR scenarios, please let me know your opinion;
2016 if we go by 2006 that I entered UK and that my first daughter was born
2018 if we go by the date that HO acknowledged our EEA RC Application back in 2008 or
2019 because our RCs were Granted in Nov. 2009.
Subject to Rule Changes, please let me know the best date to apply for ILR.
Thank you.

I will be applying for ILR (10 years long residence) in June 2016.
I have a MSc degree from a recognised UK university in London.
I was just wondering if my degree could suffice to provide English language assessment.
Do I need to show any other documents along with my MSc degree?
I would really appreciate it If someone could answer my question.
Regards,
The degree certificate should suffice. If in doubt, email the University and ask for a letter confirming that the course was taught in english and send this along as well.

@MoiMich -Thx for the update . Enjoy your freedom.
@NiceGuy
First of all congratulations on hard won ILR. Now even if you won the appeal in Dec2014 which you did -HO normally takes about 3-4 months to issue any visa .Any variation during this time slot is overwhelming work for HO.
The only thing I think you could have done differently would be to have withdrawn the case a lot earlier maybe in june and gone for same day however you were acting under professional advice.
Also you withdrew in Aug and applied same day in Oct which I believe is more than 28 days however HO realised their chicken-up and did the right thing.
Enjoy your freedom.
