Hi every With the Grace of Almighty God my ILR is approved :D A BIG MASSIVE RELIEF i was early August applicant it took more than 8 months once myself and once my Mp wrote the letter. any way i wish success for all of you from the depth of my heart i always use to pray for every one in my prayers.

guys can anyone advise is it possible to apply for Naturalization within 15 months of date of application of ILR . i Mean for example a person apply for ILR on August 2012 and get it approved on April 2013 after 8 months of process ( where delays has happened due to no fault of him but the UKBA )

Can he apply for naturalization on November 2013

OR

he can only apply after April 2014 ( after one years of ILR approval).

If yes please give the reference or link as i talked to solicitor he says there is no capacity on concession in rules within 15 months of application date only possible after one year of Granted ILR

Paragraph 7.5g @ page 16 wrote: consideration of an application for indefinite leave to remain, made more than 15 months before the citizenship application, had been protracted through no fault of the applicant, providing ILR was eventually granted. This can include applications for asylum which have resulted in the grant of ILR (you should note that any asylum cases granted on or after the 30 August 2005 will not result in ILR, applicants will instead be given limited leave) ; or

Hi rensal. No I haven't return my passport, as I need to apply for my sons citizen registration. But couple of senior member on this forum suggested me that I don't need to send it as they would already aware of due to my wife's file is linked to my application.as now my wife has submitted biometric and her file will be allocated to a caseworker I will probably phone them to confirm if they still require my original passport and bio card

Application posted - 5th April 13
Acknowledgement - 15th April 13
Biometric letter - 19th April 13 (dated 16th April)
Biometrics submitted - 20th April 13
passport & DOCs received - Awaiting
Biometric CARD - Awaiting.

interesting fact is it took only two weeks for biometrics request where as in my case It took more that 3months.



hi there,

did you send your originals back to UKBA for your wife's application?

thanks

The reason it was told that many members do send spouse flr(m) application along with set(o) because their spouse visa may be expiring along with their main applicant including me. so there is no chance of sending sponsors passport for flr(m) and giving reason that it is with UKBA and awaiting decision and later flr(m) visa will be awarded after the main applicant case considered.

but in your case i don't know that you have already received your passport and brp.

But anyway nothing wrong, just keep an eye on the post , best of luck. Please do call them or write to them whether they need your documents ?

Wife FLR

Post by Hyper-PK » Sun Apr 21, 2013 10:32 am

Hi Damanisshallo Saanju9 or any member of this forum. Please I need little bit clarification about my wife FLR application. As I had recieved my ILR last week on 10 year base and now I am planing to apply spouse visa for my wife. As i am full time PhD student and work only less than 20 hours so my over all income is under £6000 /year. But my wife works full time and her anual income is just over £15000. so my question is that could we show joint £15000+£6000 =£21000( to meet the £18600 rule) or main applicant has to show ( in this case me, and my total earning is only under £6000/year) his earning £18600 ( in this case I was on student visa and worked only part time) Or my dependent can show earning+saving to meet the total £18600

Please could any one coments on this
Many thanks in advance

Joint income of £18,600.00 is acceptable regardless of main applicant's individual income

Hi Z18,

as yes I have received my Passport & BRP card last week along with approval letter.

should I wait for them to contact me or just call them and ask whether I need to send my passport & brp back to them. if I will need to send them then it will create problem for my son's MN1 application.

any suggestion from your side. if I hear further then I will let you know.

Thanks, Hi last question to confirm before my wife's flrm peo appointment next week:
My wife will be subject to old rule in terms of no £18600 threshold requirement (because she has been T4 student dependent since 2005)
But will have to spend a fresh 2-year probation period i.e. all her previous years on T4 dependent do not count towards set(m) anymore because she is T4 student dependent which is on non-settlement route according to new rule published on 6th April?

Yes, you are right in saying so. Also take these references along with you just in case you might need to educate your caseworker if they aren't expertise in this area.

As per the below, I can see that, passport is more important for the children born abroad. However, it'd be better to submit his passport as well, irrespective of the validity.
Documents required for MN1 wrote:Evidence of the child's identity
You should provide:

the child's birth certificate; or
the child's travel document; or
the child's driving licence; or
bank, building society or credit card statements issued to the child in the last six months.

Thanks for the document request. Only 50% of applications are processed within 6 months. Of the July applications, still 1800 are outstanding which is more than half the applications submitted in July 2012 because roughly 2500 applications are received (were) received every month. These statistics are just so interesting.

I am in the same situation. No point in speculating. Let's just hope that the home office and the post office have not lost our passports. They still have 1800 to clear from July. 50% of 3,000 (average applications in a month) is 1,500. 50% of 1400 is 700.
