Hey guys hope you all well and safe. My question is i am going to apply for Citizenship i did ielts back in 2014 for my college admission. Can i still use ? I have gain B1 and i passed in Ealing and hammersmith college which is in the list of UKBA.
Please share your experience on it. And let me know what shall i do ? Thanks for all of you stay safe

What did you use to meet the English requirement for ILR??

Thanks for your reply . I use English language test Ielts for other immigration purposes i mean to get new admission in college

I clearly asked what you used when you applied for ILR. Do you hold ILR??

What is your immigration history in the UK?

I have ILR under eea scheme.

I would suggest you do a new test that has not expired as you use this test a long time ago and HO might not accept it.

Do you have a UK degree?

Yes i do have a CIMA Level 4 chartered institute of management accountants. And i use my certificate when i apply for eea application.

CIMA is not a degree so you cannot use it for British citizenship. Meeting the English requirement is not, and never has been, mandatory or required for EEA route applications.

So mean i should apply for B1 test and any recommendation which college is good i live in east London.

To avoid delays or refusal, yes I would suggest you do a new test.

What is your relationship to the EU citizen?? Married, unmarried, family member of an uncle.........??

Do you have settled status or PRE settled status??

I have settled status (indefinite leave to remain under eea law ) and we are not together anymore. Unfortunately divorced happen in January.

What date did you get married to an EU citizen? How does this date relate to the expiry date of your student visa (simply stating 'expired in 2015' is very vague)?

I got married in 2014 October and i apply my visa under eea family member in 2015 just before my student visa. Due to not sending full document i got refused in 6 month and then they give me right to appeal it and there were no date available and then later i got refusend from court and they ask me to apply again .then i had such a bad experience with some of solicitors the they didn't send a my case to homeoffice. And i change my solicitors and in 2017 October i got 5 year of EEA residence card . IN 2019 I apply for settlement scheme under eea and its successful so now i am planing to apply for citizenship. But not sure can i apply or shall i wait

You can apply for citizenship once you have held ILR for 12 full months, provided you meet all the requirements.

Even tho the ILR under the eu scheme ?i still apply for citizenship

Your route to ILR is irrelevant. The requirement is to hold ILR for 12 months before you can apply, provided you meet all the requirements for citizenship.

Hey sorry to bother you again. So my question is my passport is due on 10 October 2020 during that whole year i absent 25 days from Uk and from past 5 year its around 90 day's total. So my question is can i apply and when shall i apply ? 2nd question i have to travel on 20 October its that important but can i travel once i apply for my British passport. And how long does it take during covid 19 time frame ? Once again thanks.

You are not apply for a "passport"!! You are applying to naturalised as a British citizen. You can only apply for a passport once you are British, which is once you have attended your ceremony.

Once you have applied for citizenship on form AN, you are free to travel.

Citizenship allocations can take anywhere between 8 weeks and 6 months, sometimes longer.

I have infinite leave to remain under the eu scheme . Me and my patner are not together anymore does it effect my ILR and naturalisation process .2nd question So if i am travelling on 20 October and i believe i can't stay outside country for more then 90 days so i been outside in October last year for 25 days and when the actual year account on the day i got ilr which is 10 October 2019

No!!

2nd question So if i am travelling on 20 October and i believe i can't stay outside country for more then 90 days so i been outside in October last year for 25 days and when the actual year account on the day i got ilr which is 10 October 2019

The 90 days absence in the last 12 months on ILR is ONLY relevant up to the date you submit and pay online. After this, your absences are IRRELEVANT!

You still need to enroll biometrics for your application, which you won't be able to do if you are traveling out of the UK.
