Wish all those who are still awaiting desicions the best of luck, remember there is always a light at the end of the tunnel, waiting is frustrating but all will be forgotten once you see the BRP card.
Thanks again.
See you there
Are you sure we are allowed to do that. How about the 12 months residency requirement. I know in the past that was not required or HO was not too bothered about it. I have many friends who applied after their ILR and got their application accepted during 2010 to 2012 without waiting 12 months. Bear in mind those people were from legacy cases and they were all living in the UK for more than 6 years at the time of their apllications. However, i have heard that recently HO refuses anyone applying before the 12 months residency period!! No matter how long they have lived here, they should wait and be free for at least 12 months from immigration control..
I know until July 2012 HO was not too bothered about it as one of my friend's naturalisation application got accepted straight after his ILR. But i read a post on the naturalisation thread the other day and an applicant was refused and was asked to wait for 12 months after his/her ILR.
Do you know anyone personally that have applied lately and got their application accepted. Cos i am in the same boat as you are. As a matter of fact i have already applied. I applied 10 days after i got my ILR. So far no news but i am really stressed and almost sure that they will refuse me.
Please let me know of anything you might know on this matter, I would appreciate anyone else who may have got some news for I and Peterpan..
Thanks
