Point is, if you now have ILR you will be able to apply one year after your ILR date for naturalisation. Does the "sketch" of a bill called draft mention that explicitly? The only hint I could find is that it says "naturalisation at a later point", without actually giving a time frame. So it could ...

Iceman, I don't beleive you have read the draft bill correctly. Nowhere does it state people with ILR will need to do 5 years before naturalisation. What it probably means is that, you will need to be a resident for 5 years and there after to complete or not your probation period of 3 years, before...

[quote="iceman010899"] current ILR holders will need to wait 5 years to be naturalized without probation. Are u talking about the whole process or after ILR need 5 and how the current ILR holder need 5 year in which catagory W/permit or family.they cant cancel and change any ILR who already been gra...

Hello, Reading though the draft bill, it seems like current ILR holders will need to wait 5 years to be naturalized without probation. With voluntary work its 3 years I think. Plus ILR = Permanent permission in the future. there are nothing mention about the current ILR holder and in the draft bill...

Oh sorry, I thought you said you were in the UK in Jan 2008 as a touristand you wanted to use that to start your 3 years of residency. Anyway, 3 year continuous residence and no more than 270 days outside the UK in the those 3 years (plus another restritction on absences in the last year) are the r...

rizwan_ali, when you apply for your Naturalisation you will need to pass the "applicant was physically in the UK exactly 3 years before UKBA receive the Naturalisation application" test. Yes there are other tests but it is worth asking if you visited the UK at all in the last three years? If so can...

Thanks paulp for information do have you have link about such cases or some more info regarding that i am still wondering why officer told me at PEO so i can apply after 12 mounths. anyway thanks for help.

How did you get ILR after only being here a few months? Or did I miss something? The way I read it is: OP got spouse visa entered UK on it Oct 2008 Surely he'd have to apply for ILR Oct 2010? Has it been issued in error or am I being dense? Yes i got after one mounth of entry in the uk you are righ...

You've obviously been issued with a visa after living for 4 years or more with your spouse. KOL required means that when you arrive in the UK you will need to take the Life in the UK test (Knowledge of Life - KOL). Once this has been passed you can apply immediately for ILR rather than wait the nor...
