you can apply if you are qualified for BC. :) Records on PNC are held for 100 years and its highly unlikely that they will remove your arrest record from the PNC, you can ask for a subject access report to see what record is held about you and most probably gonna come back with arrest and 'No furthe...

Do a Subject access request at your local police station and you will have a clear picture of what exactly is stored about you on the systems. :)

Re: student finance

In order to qualify for SF you need to have ILR and should have been resident in the country for at least the last three years before the start of academic year and during any point in the last three years your purpose of residence in the country was NOT full time education. :wink:

Re: When should I apply for naturalisation ?

If married to a BC, you can apply the same day you are granted ILR if you meet the spouse requirements which includes 3 years residence. Any legal stay in the UK counts. An important requirement you should pay attention to is that you need to have been physically present in the UK at the beginning ...

Re: British Nationality when married

so if you are an EEA national and married to a British citizen then can you can apply for BC after 3 years or 5 years?

I know someone who is a Swedish Passport holder and married to a British citizen but he insists that he can apply for BC after 2 years? is he right? :roll:
