Please do not post in CAPITAL letters. It is the same as SHOUTING.

Any work, whether paid or unpaid, is work and not permitted if you do not hold a visa allowing you to work.

Do you mean my very first application or naturalisation?

Declared in your naturalisation application?

The refusal may be in line with policy.

Good Character

Non-compliance with immigration requirements

An application will normally be refused if, within the previous 10 years (before the date of decision), the person has not complied with immigration requirements, including having:
• failed to comply with (breached) conditions imposed under the Immigration Acts, for example:
o accessed public funds when prohibited from doing so
o worked in the UK without permission to do so
o studied in the UK in contravention of any restrictions on studying
o failed, without reasonable excuse, to report when required to do so
• remained in the UK after their leave, including when leave extended by virtue of
section 3C or 3D of the Immigration Act 1971 has expired. See: Overstaying

In the naturalisation application. I was just concerned that if you didn’t declare it, then they may treat a non-declaration as deception and refuse you for another 10 years. Did they say when you would be eligible to reapply?

It does says that its re-open for me to apply at any time

Perhaps try again next year.

Ouch.

It was in 2010. They would have disregard it if you just declared it.

ILR and Citizenship are not the same thing. You may get an ILR but fell short when it comes to citizenship. Citizenship is not an immigration application and carries a much higher standard than ILR.

They said i could apply for reconsideration if i am not happy woth the decision

Perhaps request a review when the ten years since the incident have passed.
