My brother has been seriously ill and became disabled as a result of his illness. He got ILR though and because his illness is stopping him from returning to work, is he eligible to go on universal credit? If he does apply, does that bar him from applying for citizenship in the future? He is current...

If you give evidence on the reasons for your absences, then I think you should be okay. If your absences makes them doubt your future intentions requirement, then include more evidence on this requirement to assure them.

They may revoke ILR only under limited circumstances.

Thank you!

The British Nationality Act is the law, not Guidance. The Guidance gives possible discretions for caseworkers. I don’t see that discretion on absences may be more stricter than the law given in Schedule 1.

Thank you Vinny. In case my application fails, am I risking my ILR in any way?

Do let us know his response. He said that it's only for guidance but the caseworker can use discretion and in a case like mine, where nearly 300 days were spent outside the country without returning at all (even though the 450-day requirement is met), the caseworker can use discretion and reject th...

Thank you. He said that my long absence can be used to deny Citizenship because the Govt is making no exceptions even if there are circumstances beyond your control. Have sent the quoted text from your post to him!

Thank you. A lawyer I consulted said that the 90-year rule applies to every year for the last 5 years. I couldn't find any basis for this in the guidance, hence the confusion over the absences.

Also, I am a director of my company but only pay myself when I need to.
Do I have to show regular income for naturalisation? And do the referees have to be British?

I have been in the UK since February. Before that, I was stuck in my home country for 298 days due to flights being cancelled and leaving the country being impossible.
Now my problem is, do I have to wait for 5 years from February to apply since I have a gap of 298 days?

Thank you in advance.

And now the stress will likely be even more on residence (actually staying in the country for a while and leaving a trace with government documentation such as by working/taxes and/or applying for benefits) as opposed to mere presence (flying in and out, and possibly behaving like a visitor). The p...

I've been granted a Schengen visa several times before. Usually it was pretty quick and once took a little longer. This time though it's taking forever. I applied for Netherlands this time. They are sent to Netherlands for processing and not processed in the London consulate. People applying after m...

What is the breakdown in terms of months for the roles that you have used? Hopefully you'll hear back before April 2019, but do you think you could employ settled people in a couple of roles for which you already employed people previously? The roles have to be 12 months but not necessarily continuo...

Sorry to hear about this.
You could try AR before going for another application.

Very sad to hear about this.

If you list out your refusal reasons here, members might be able to help regarding points that you could make for your AR.

I finally got it TODAY! It was the carrier :evil: I guess they first delivered on a Wednesday when our shop was shut(day off), they did not contact with me or come back on the following day etc. Simply holding there and as we got no tracking number and no knowlodge of the carrier, I cant do anythin...

Did they only send a letter?

I hope you are going for AR, and refer to the transcript that confirms that tenancy was never discussed.
It's bizarre that they just copied the same letter here again, except the above point.

Hi sm12,

Did you get your ILR approval?

Thank you.
jjs456

No, it's still under process.

Congratulations!

Did they respond?

Faheem your point is absolutely right. They can't talk about something they have not made you aware off. This is nitpicking. After ar go for pap followed by jr if pap is ignored by them. You have a case and they won't stand . They r very funny. Thank you Vish. Yes I will exercise all available opti...

it's so strange all the stories I've read about DX. you'd think after so many BRPs and passports are delayed or missing because of them they'd find a more reliable service? or have them sent to a post office and have you pick it up with ID instead? now if I have to pay to get another card sent, wha...

yes thanks sonata I see now that it does say on the 3rd page "your application for Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK has been approved". I overlooked that as it seemed like just pages of advice/faq type stuff. That helps clarify it at least. Although it doesn't help that above that it says "thes...

My brother's BRP was delayed and arrived after 12 days, and the person from DX just put it through the mailbox. Didn't ring or ask for any signature or ID.

Just an update- my brother's BRP finally arrived after 12 days.
Not sure what caused the delay but the issue date is the same as the approval letter, so it's fine.
