Re: British citizenship and refugee status

i agree with you, i had a chat with the refugee council and they told me it should be fine once you have become british.

British citizenship and refugee status

I know this might be a silly question but are there any implications on going back to country of origin after attaining citizenship through refugee route?
Or once have a british passport, it doesnt matter anymore? There would be no implications coming back into the UK?

Thanks

I applied in April and received my approval and attended ceremony already. Hopefully your approval is on the way. My guess would be in the next or so. Just hang on a bit and sort it all out before jetting off.
