Hi All,
At last our long journey for British Citizenship has come to an end and finally no more visa applications or fees (spent at least 15K for the 4 of us on this since the day we applied for T1G :shock: ).

Email from my MP

Dear Mr. xxxxxxx,
I have now received a response from the Home Office. Please see below.
As you can see, they state that your case is somewhat complex but they expect to have made a decision in the next 3 to 6 months.

I hope this clarifies the situation for you.

Home Office email,

I am sorry that it is taking longer than we would wish for Mr xxxxxx application to be processed.

As you may be aware, our service standard is that we will complete 100% of workable and straightforward cases within six months. The definition of a workable case, and what we expect from our customers, is available on our website at: http://www.gov.uk/government/organisati ... r-services. Where further information is required, the case will not be classed as workable, and may take longer to decide.

Naturalisation is not an entitlement and before granting British citizenship we must be satisfied that an applicant meets all statutory requirements. It is standard policy to undertake a number of enquiries before an application for naturalisation can be decided. Some of these enquiries are carried out by external agencies on our behalf and can sometimes take longer than six months to complete.

Furthermore, following recent clarification of the Nationality rules, greater levels of scrutiny will be applied to certain applications. This will be dependent on certain indicators within their immigration history that pre-date the application for naturalisation. Mr xxxxxx case has been identified as such a case and it has not been possible to conclude it within six months.

We expect to make a decision on his application within the next three to six months, but we will write to Mr xxxxx again if this is not going to be possible. Please note, we will contact Mr xxxxx with further updates and can advise that he does not need to contact us again unless his circumstances change significantly. Additionally, Mr xxxxx should not contact the UKVI Contact Centre regarding the progress of his case as they will not be able to provide any further information. This also applies to any family members whose applications for citizenship were submitted at the same time.

Yours sincerely
xxxxxxxxxxx

Eligibility criteria: Married to British citizen since 2001 and 19 years in the UK (with small exception due to work commitments)
Language criteria met: Trinity College
Nationality: France
Method of application: Royal Mail
Date of application: 22 Oct 15
Payment method: credit card
Date of receipt by UKBA: ?
Date of acknowledgement : mid Nov 15
Date money gone off account: Oct 15 (very fast for that one!)
Date of letter requesting biometrics: Dec 2015
Biometrics done: Dec 2015
Date of approval : still waiting
Date of ceremony : ha! Wishful thinking !!!!


Additional info asked by HO mid Feb. Huge folder sent 5th of March. No news since.
To note I sent originally data based on 3 years residency as I was under the impression that 3 years was the requirements for foreigners married to a British citizens. Apparently not for Europeans! It is 5 years!

I had to prove 5 years of residency and active work and earnings! In between that period of 5 years I had to spend almost a year commuting between UK and Brazil as my husband was sent by his company to open an office in Brazil. So I spent a lot of time out of the country between 2011 and 2012. During that period I liquidated my Limited Company (early 2012 after paying all tax liabilities).

So I sent a massive folder with docs about all my work since 2008 to date. Mainly self-employed as I am a contractor in IT. I also included all documentation regarding HMRC, National Insurance for last 6 years and my husband contract regarding Brazil period.
Absolutely no news since, and I half expect to be rejected although I will appeal. I am not sure either but I would think that spending lots of time out of the country due to work commitment is allowed?

I live in hope!

Some disappointing news. my application was refused because I spent time out of the UK between 2011 and 2012, as my husband was sent abroad for work. SO I don't meet the full "Last 5 years in the UK " requirements.

Very sad but I won't give up. In October 2017 I will meet the 5 years rule within the "EU treaty rights" and will be able to apply again.
