There is no 5+1 rule for naturalization. The rule(s) state that you need to be free from immigration restrictions for at least for 12 months before the HO recieves your naturalization application unless you are married to a British Citizen in which case you just need to be free from immigration rest...

You have a valid ILR and no one will ask you to prove that you intend to stay in the UK or not.

The person who can provide you with a definite (or close to definite answer) would be JAJ but based on what you posted I doubt that you're eligible for BC. From what you describe, your father lost the right to abode in the UK during the legislation leading up to and including the nationality act of ...

Did you lose your passport or you never had one?
If you never had one I would assume you could not have left the country (let alone return) - right?

Points on license are not relevant for citizenship applications.
Convictions by court (including fines) are.
Since your wife was not convicted by court she should be fine.

See:

There is no option mentioned to be a British citizen (Unless the father is British?) only BOTC.

The BOTC passport "looks" British but there is no right of abode in the UK and does not provide rights to settle in the EU

The child is automactially British (by decent). Mother can apply for his passport immidietly.

I would not worry too much.
If HO inquires, you can give the same answer you gave here (i.e. she will join me one day).
I don't think this will fail your application but the worst that can happen is you loose your application fee.

1. The details of your spouse and present address are required by the AN form. I don't think it will by itself effect your application if no other concerns about future intentions are raised (for example, if you don't or only partly fulfil the abscense out of the UK criteria)

2. No.

I miised the fact that he is married to a British citizen.
Thanks Sushdmehta for clarifying this to me.

For Sushdmehta: I have read (now) the other thread and it does not seem to me to conflict with what I wrote. Unless married to a British citizen he has to wait 12 months on ILR. Whether then he can apply or not also depends on his imigration history, for example, if he was legal in the last 5 years ...

You need to be at least 12 months on ILR so not before 12 October 2012.

The guidance (and also NCS) asks you to confirm that you don't have 2 fiexed penalties or more in the last 12 months.
Not sure that the PCN counts as an FPN but in any case your FPN was given sometimes in October 2010 so it might be better to apply when you are 12 months clear of that one.

I think you had been given all the information to work this out for yourself and plan forward. To summarize: When you do apply you are required to have less than 90 days absence during the final year leading up to your application and less than 270 days of absence over the last 3 years leading up to...

There is no probelm with the Polish authorities regarding dual (or multiple) citizenship

What type of answer are you expecting from the Home office? Only you know what your future intentions are. Also, the naturalization application assumes you live and have an address in the UK (since this is what you declare on your form). Apart from that, if you fulfill the residential requirments th...

Evrything you need is described in: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/britishcitizenship/eligibility/naturalisation/standardrequirements/ Specifically, 1. the 5 years can start when limited leave to remain was first granted. However, you need to be on ILR for at least 12 months if divorced from Brit...

I thought the OP asked if he had to be present in the country 5 or 6 years to the day before his application. The answer is 5 years but of course the total required residential period is 6 years out of which at least the last 12 months have to be free of immigration restrictions.

5 years.

No. Unless he will live in the UK.

You get your British citizenship certificate (or naturalization certificate) only after you are granted British citizenship (i.e after you apply and succuedfuly go through the process including citizenship ceremony) Once you are a British citizen you can apply for a British passport whenever you wis...

Since you were born before 1983, then since 2009, persons born (outside the UK) to British mothers can register as British citizens by descent. see: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/britishcitizenship/eligibility/registration/britishmother/ I think your (biological) father is not relevant for this ...

To Melodis - It seems to me that you're a British citizen by decent.
Why do you think birth in Rhodesia in in 1976 makes you a British citizen otherwise than by descent?
Did you ever live in the UK for more than 3 years? If so, you can register your children as British.

If you had a British mother who was born in the UK then you can now register as a British Citizen (by descent):
