The NCS was right. Your 'friend' needs to wait until August 2017.

You can protest as much as you want, write letters, complaint... that won't change this : British citizenship is a privilege NOT a right. you can't argue with that, even if when they refuse an application, you can ask for reconsideration and not an appeal. I think this is very important that people...

I am talking sense. Most British people are against massive immigration, and that is a fact. If you have a problem with this then it's not my fault. Bringing/ breeding a foreign tribe in this country is something that is bound to be frowned upon. The only one who is embarassing himself is the guy w...

Ok but the woman at checking service spoke to.a caseworker in the HO and they said it depends on which Case worker you get.they may use discretion if you ask but it's simply a 50/50 gamble.

You don't have to, as employment is not a requirement for naturalization.

ILR and British citizenship are different, and therefore have different requirements, as stated above.

First question : And you must usually have: lived in the UK for at least the 5 years before the date of your application spent no more than 450 days outside the UK during those 5 years spent no more than 90 days outside the UK in the last 12 months been granted indefinite leave to stay in the UK (o...

Have you already applied? and when has he overstayed?

Oh, so he has already applied...

In that case I agree with fwd079 the case worker will have to use his discretion.
