Have you been in UK for continuous 6 years? What was your status from 2006 to 2008?Willy2020 wrote:I came into UK as a Student in April 2003(2yrs Visa).And was on student visa until 2006(with Masters).
I then got married in June 2008 to my British wife.And was issue Spouse visa for 2yrs.
Got my ILR in April 2010.....I'm quite confused from suggestions made by friends that i can apply for NATURALISATION now!
I just want to find out if it is possible to apply for AN now since i've bn in country legally more than 6 years....Thanks
Under current rules it is irrelevant on what visa you were, what matters is that you had legal stay.Willy2020 wrote:I have been resident in the UK since 2003 and never illegally!
Travelled in 2004 for 10 days and in 2007 for 15 days.Those are the only times i've bn out of the UK since 2003.
It's been STUDENT Visa to SPOUSE Visa...and no other type of visa in beetween the years.
The requirement is that inorder to naturalise as a spouse of British Citizen (BC), the applicant has to have been resident in the UK for at least 3 years, amongst other requirements.Hope2007 wrote:Guys ..this is really interesting ..
so let us say ...wife gets BC first after her 12 months ILR stay..and then husband gets his ILR(both entered on 2 different visas. No dependant visa) after 5 wp....
At this point , can the husband apply for BC just becuase his Wife is a BC and he had 5 yrs legal stay?
i guess, husband needs to finish 12 months ILR. Correct me please
thanks
