Just called HO and man called Marcus told me my application yet to be been seen !
Despite telling I know a person who applied 9th Sept 14 and got his approval ( Congrats Brother) but I applied 12th Sept 14 and mine
Still to be seen!!!
Doesn't make any sense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It so not right ( didn't said it to him tho) :?: :?: :?:
As I was told right before Christmas eve by HO staff, 1) some September applications recently started to be considered and 2) October applications will follow in March 2015 the earliest. Hence, I understand all those waiting September outcomes are facing news between january and february.

@Meeeee123 if you seemy earlier post some members who applied in Aug 2014 still waiting for their approvals ...they are in 19th week and yourself in 16th week in waiting ....

HO does not decide approvals in date Order .......it only pics according to date Order meee123 so don't feel bad its just with in 3 weeks you should get your approval any day it can be any day between now and 31st Jan ;-)

So chill imagine how a 20 AUg 2014 applicant might feel mate and get strength by that ;-)

Thanks

@Dec22 Usually it take between 2-4 weeks after you send your application you get an Biometric invitation . However, make sure contact them if you don't receive even after 4 weeks .. Keep in mind you applied before holiday period and there might be small delay hopefully you should get you biometric invi soon :-) say by end of this week ;-

@umark468
Eligibility
Q1: Can my son apply for naturalisation?
The term used for children applications as BC is Registration and not Naturalisation. The requirements for children are a lot simpler than for adults.

UK born

In the child was born in the UK before one parent had ILR/PR, then once one parent is granted ILR, the child is entitled register as BC under section 1(3) of the British Nationality Act irrespective of their immigration status.

This application is an entitlement and as such the HO has no discretion in the decision if the statutory requirements are met. The application can be made any time before the child is 18. The only documents required are UK birth certificate and evidence that parent obtained ILR/PR. The application can be made if the child is in the UK or abroad.

If the child was born in the UK after one parent has ILR/PR, then the child is British from birth and can apply directly for a passport.

born abroad

If the child was born outside the UK, then once one parent applies for naturalisation, the child can apply for Registration under section 3(1). The is application at discretion and the HO would expect that the other parent to hold (or to be close to holding) a ILR/PR status.
For the guidelines on Registration at discretion see section 9.17.

You need to use mn1 form to register once you have your own British citizenship.
As This blog is for set lr applications only. You can have further information and all discussion about naturalization/citizenship at the following link.

I got ILR in november planning to apply for naturalization of my two daughters born in UK my son and my wife ILR is due in March
I am earning approx 700 A month after tax 560 I am director of the company
My wife is house wife she is not employed. I am not claiming any benefit.
Please guide me which benefit I can claim which will not effect my wife and my son ILR,
And Mine( I THINK I CAN APPLY AFTER 1 YEAR OF ILR) AND MY DAUGHTERS NATURALIZATION

And one more question please I had a Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa my wife and my son was on dependent visa they are completing 10 years in March but it is another 2200 expense is it ok to hold it for few months and meanwhile if they want to travel to Pakistan they can on Tier 1 dependent visa.

Will highly appreciate all help very confused will highly appreciate your suggestions and guidance will wait for your reply

Thanks and best regards
@asimsha

You need to give some additional information to get some answers to your question.

1. did u apply on 10 year basis and got ILR in november ....... if yes then did you change the status of your Tier 1 dependents ( your wife )???? to ILR dependent ????

Kids no issue since you got ILR you can register them as British citizens if they were both born in uk so lets leave the kids enquiry ;-) you are pretty safe on that

Its just that as far as my knowledge is if you were on Tier1 visa and you apply for ILR on 1 years basis you need to change the Tier dependents to the new visa dependent ...... As I said as far as my knowledge there is a possibility they will encounter some issues traveling with Tier 1 dependent visa since you have changed the category

if I were you I would change my Wife visa to ILR dependent and then apply on the 10 year basis when she completes 10 years this is my understanding ...
Any senior members shed some light on this if I'm wrong


Congrats on ILR anyways ;-)

Quick question out of curiosity... what do you think the question in the SET (LR) form, about "ties to your native country" and ties to any other country is about. Can that section determine the outcome of your application?

No this section does not determine the outcome of application as is just for the sake of human rights,there is no harm if u mention family ties with your native country if you still have
