There is a special document that you can request HO to provide you incase you want to travel to your home country for medical/emergency reasons. You can get home country visa on that document.

Someone I know did the same, but I will leave the moderators to confirm. Its a black document if I am correct. Please correct me if wrong.

So 15 years can’t apply British Citizen .

Why 15 years??

You cannot apply for ILR under another category or route if you already have ILR.

“ if some one Had sentence of over 12 months not eligible for British Citizen ship for 15 years that’s what been told .
Secondly also been told since I have ILR I can apply Country of Origin passport and transfer ILR which is also “NO TIME LIMIT “ status . But since I was given Refugee Status In 2003 would that not effect if I contact my Country of origin Embassy.
2 ) what Do I do then I am in limp ? Need advice

Thanks for Advice for Documents Will Ask HO

Its called “certificate of travel” (black). I know someone who went to home country on it due to compelling sister’s medical reasons while was a refugee in UK.

Can you post the official Home Office link that specifically states this??

I strongly suggest you do not do this as your ILR could be revoked.

c. Certificates of Travel (black) will normally be valid to all countries except those from which asylum was sought and/or your country or origin.


“And For citizen ship Its comes under Good characters Rules”

As I said, I am not entirely sure but I know someone who went to home country and got this black document. Then got the visa on this document to go to home country. Someone else maybe able to guide better.

I also know someone who used this "black" travel document to go back to their country or origin but when they returned to apply for British citizenship the home office issued deception clause to them and revoked their ILR. It has now been 14 months he is still fighting this in the court with no avail.

You cannot go back as you were granted refugee status. This should be clear to you by now. Going back could lead to your ILR being revoked
