The decision to refuse would have been correct as the OP did not provide the evidence HO asked for. Not sure if OP could ask for a reconsideration and submit all the missing evidence.EEA National wrote: ↑Tue Sep 26, 2017 12:21 pmThank you CR001
To Zoraika: why wait so long and didn't sent reconsideration back than?
No, the OP applied for citizenship in March this year not in 2014, as the link I posted states. 2014 there was no mandatory requirement for a PR card anyway.EEA National wrote: ↑Tue Sep 26, 2017 12:48 pmIndeed it is a bit strange case
Maybe procedure back in 2014 was different?
More information on the situation will allow us to be more accurate in our advices
Thank you. That's a good news.softy monster wrote: ↑Tue Sep 26, 2017 11:50 amNo, except if the HO banned you until certain date and they should have mentioned that when you were refused in the first place! also make sure you prove/add anything you were missing when you have applied the first time! simple is that
correct, you shouldn't have to, but unless you were self-employed! working as an au pair could be a self employed job! Even if you were a worker I don't think by not being registered for WRS in the past will affect your BC application I may be wrong!Zoraika wrote: ↑Tue Sep 26, 2017 2:18 pmThank you.

Also, do you know if I should have registered for WRS when I was an au pair? Lawers say on a different site that home office might refuse the application because I didn't register which doesn't make sense for me. I thought au pair doesn't class as a worker.
Was your asylum application ever approved??A110UK wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2017 8:34 pmDear all,
Today’s been a very difficult day for me as this morning my BC application got rejected after nearly 5 month of waiting time. Here is my story, followed by HO’s reasons for rejection:
I arrived to UK in 2000 as an asylum, while I was waiting for a repose from the HO, a solicitor helped me to get work permission. I received the work permission from the HO in 2003 (It’s a card named IND Application Registration card), and there is no expiry date on the card, with this work permission card, I could apply for the National Insurance Number. This allowed me working in the UK legally.
My application for asylum got rejected a while after. After this, I made a fresh application via a solicitor, at some point after, the HO asked for some documents which I posted to them. In the meantime, HO asked me present at a police station on a weekly basis to keep track, and Finally, In Nov 2009, I received the ILR from the HO starting you are getting the ILR as a result of long residency.
Today received the rejection with following reasons:
- For the period July 2000-Nov 2009, your leave in the UK was invalid
- You said you were working in the UK while not permitted (In my application form, I was declaring my working period)
They also said, I can apply for BC in Nov 2020 (Exactly 10 yrs after the date I was granted ILR). Although the reconsideration form is attached, and they said if you think this decision is not fair, you can send the reconsideration form.
Now, I am so confused.. I was not working illegally, as I had work permission.. and everywhere was accepting this as a proof!! Second, How they are saying my stay in the UK from the date of my arrival to the date I was granted ILR was not valid!!
Please can you guide me on this matter? Do you think I can apply for reconsideration?
No my asylum application was not approved. However they gave me ILR after 9 yrs not 14 yrs. As I said I arrived UK in 2000, and got ILR in 2009..... Do you think if it worth applying for reconsideration?CR001 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2017 10:13 pmWas your asylum application ever approved??A110UK wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2017 8:34 pmDear all,

Looks like you got ILR based on 14 years long residence (this category is no longer available). This was for migrants who had no legal stay/visa in the UK for 14 years.
I had exactly the same refusal as you couple a month ago I sent my reconsideration straight after the HO deduct the money from my account and I’m still waiting for a decision I go for it if I was you good luckA110UK wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2017 8:34 pmDear all,

Yes it is the same. No special treatment simply because your spouse is British.
There are two scenarios. See Q14A in the link below.Dig100 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 11, 2017 3:26 pmThere appears to be inconsistent decision making in relation to when the 10 year ban starts from. Does it start from the point at when an immigration breach occurs or or does it start from when an applicant secures settled status having previously committed a breach? The Guidance doesn’t have the answer and this has produced inconsistent decision-making with some refusals advising of bans based on the former date and other refusals taking the settlement date as the start of the 10 year clock.

I posted earlier that my application for BC was refused. As I explined, I always been in contact with the HO since my arrivals, until the date that they granted me ILR due to long residency in 2010. Now I am planning for reconsideration application. However, I was reading the form, and there is a part that they said:
they don't reconsider on grounds of: long residence, where the statutory requirements are not met
Do this mean, as because I was granted ILR on a ground of long residency, they will refuse again my reconsideration application? and 10 years ban apply to me?
Please help.
Many thanks
