Hi All, I am in a dilemma. I am due to apply for naturalisation in March 2014 and understand it can take up to 6 months to get a passport.

Hi, Anyone able to help?

Thanks cs95tdg, I complete 5 years on 8 April 2013 as I applied in-country when I got my first EC on 8 April 2008. How do they calculate 8 April 2013 minus 28 days: 1. if I count 28 days backwards from 8 April 2013 ( inc. 8 April ), I get to 12 Mar, which means I will lose out on the ILR by one day!...

The in-country application was approved for a Tier 1. I am going for a PEO, yes

I have been in the UK student+FTI+Tier 1. On 7.11, 'how long have you lived in the UK?', should I mention the no. of years since I started as a student or are they looking for the start date on the basis of which this application is being made i.e. start of Tier 1?

How do you mention the note 'in-country application / approval' ? Would that be at the bottom of the question outside the fill-in boxes or do you attach a separate page with notes where applicable?
