which was todo with another subject, I've decided for clarity to start a new thread. - Hope its ok.

I would like to consider the ppron method to apply for Naturalisation. Most of the details are in the other thread and I would like to know what step to take next.

Fill in the form? Book the flight? Inform the embassy in Dublin?

Wonder if someone could provide abit of clarity on the next steps.

Regards

Sorry, I've been trying to go through all your posts, but it's too much effort. Can you write down your timeline? When did you first enter the UK? You have a CP/spouse visa for two years? Did you live in the UK prior to that?

sure,

I arrived in 2002 on a WHV and then switched to a WP which I held for 2 years 8 months after which I got a spousal Visa for 2 years from August this year - valid for 2 years.

So all in all been here since 2002, the first 2 years obviously doesn't count to ILR but the 3 on the WP does.

Not been out the country for more than 270 days and also not in the last year for more than 90. - all in all aboutr 30 in the last year.

hope that helps

Are you married to a British Citizen? If the answer to that is yes, then just ensure that you were physically in the UK exactly three years before you make the application in say Dublin, and it looks like you will have met all the requirements of the Ppron method.

Did we fine Ppron yet?

You make empasis to the word exactly - can it be more than 3 years tho? It was 3 years last month ( 2 years 10 months on a WP and the since then on a Spousal)

Yes.

Thanks for all the replies so far,

It seems that I would be able to apply using this method. So can anyone advise on the next step ?

If you want to use the "ppron method" you need to be a lot more resourceful than that. All the instructions you need are in the published links.

Just be aware that many officials are ignorant of the rules and a British embassy overseas will probably (illegally) try to refuse to accept the application unless you make arrangements in advance.

Check whether you need a visa to enter the Republic of Ireland.

I don't need a Visa to enter Dublin and I get the fact that the officials will be clueless therefore I would need as much info as possible to strengthen my case, if and when they try and show me the door.

The Ppron method is highly technical and I am concerned that you are not even understanding this very easy point. The method should not be used by anyone who is not totally up-to-speed as regards all its requirements.

You are looking for a complication that is simply not there! You need to pass the "applicant was physically present in the UK exactly three years before BIA receive the Naturalisation application" test.

Wrong! the requirement is very specific, and BIA have no discretion as regards this particular rule. If the person was not physically in the UK exactly three years before BIA receive the application, that application will fail!

If what you are saying is true John then there is no point in me even trying as obviously exactly 3 years has already passed for me.

Surely the other applications wheren't exactly to the day. I understand this is a technical method but surely not to the day 3 years??

You really don't understand. Please review the threads on the ppron method.

Gamma911, you are continuing to add in complications that are not there! Just read the actual words of the test that I outlined above. Where does it say that the person cannot be in the UK for more than 3 years?

For someone thinking of using the highly technical Ppron method this really should not be necessary, but let's just give an example. Let's assume, probably wrongly, that you were outside the UK, on holiday or business or whatever, for the whole of the month of October 2004. You left on 01.10.04 and returned on 31.10.04. If that was indeed the case you would not be able to apply for Naturalisation any time in the month of October 2007. Why? Because it clearly would be the case that exactly 3 years earlier you were outside the UK.

So what you need to do is to establish your exact dates outside the UK, and not use the example dates above.

Don't even think about using the Ppron method until you really have learnt all its requirements.

I was referring to the fact that you don't have to have had 3 years and no more residence. Ie you can apply after being here for longer - as long as (as you say) you were here on the date 3 years before the application date.

Yes, but your mere "yes" was open to interpretation. Hopefully the OP has now understood the point.

Correct John the yes statement above did confuse me, but as for your explanation I'm now getting it. ...

Are there any other documented cases regarding this method or only the threads on ukresident?
