Amanda, that is strictly for same sex or unmarried partners only. Married ones are not held to that requirement as well. Nothing as far as I can see makes it a legal refusal and I think that the OP is really unfortunate to go through all this... assuming that they applied with a FLR(M) and not a SET...

Any person who is applying for Citizenship without being married to a British will have to held ILR/PR for atleast 1 year. This makes it impossible to apply for Citizenship unless married to a BC using the method or otherwise without having held the ILR/PR for atleast an year.

love, the 'ppron method' works only if the spouse in question is a British national. It does not work if the spouse in question is an EEA national from any other country.
but how does it work when none is British?
So, in short, it doesn't!

I have had a thorough look at the HO website and I would like to rectify my mistake. It looks like the no-switching to spouse visa is only for short visa categories with leave to remain lesser than 6 months.

So, I guess Ancestory visa holders should be able to switch in-country, if needed.

My apologies for not being specific. I was interested in the UK's stance itself and not the France's stance in this matter, which I thought would be obvious to you.

Doc - you can't 'pretend' to not be married, that would be a BAD idea. Agreed and I would advice the OP to take a similar stand as well. Again, sorry for the hypothetical question, but, if someone about whom the HO does not know is married (marriage held abroad), is to 'pretend' to be not married t...

There is no third alternative JAJ, are you sure of that? I was wondering- If the HO does not know that they are married, can't they make an in-country application for an unmarried partner's visa basing it on proof of 2 years co-habitation? Absolutely no point switching now, as he will get ILR off a...

thsths, I do not entirely agree with that. It is clear that the HO states that they are only confirming your right to work and not denying you the right as such. If you can find work and have to prove that to the employer that you have the right to work, the onus of proof lies on you and since the H...

The visas based on extensions for clinical attachments followed in the same vein as the permit-free trianing visas and was a sort of a breed between student visas and residence permits.

While they did not count for ILR under the WP categories, they did count for the the 10 year category.
