The above question was recently inserted into the new version Form AN Sep 2013. I am bit concerned about a caution I received. It was a Police caution in Dec 2003 for shop lifting and was verbal warning and I can't remember whether they gave me a paper or not. I'll appreciate valuable advise from Mo...

Dear Fellow Members, I have a deep concern about this mobile app. My wife has recently studied and practiced, LIUK Test using TSO Official 3rd edition smart phone App. Her aggregate after 3-4 weeks practice on mock tests was 99-100%. Today when she went for test, the test contained totally different...

Once again thanks for the support. She been a Nationality Advisor doesn't have clear understanding of a specific provision. I'll wait for her to reply, because I think they may refuse my application for being too early even if the law allows me to apply. And also my local MP has made further represe...

Many thanks Amber, Yes, I made 2 applications for ILR; 1st in Sep 2011 which was refused in Nov 2011 due to this gap which was not my fault. At time I had tier 4 visa which lasted until 31 July 2012. I made 2nd ILR application on 4 July 2012, which was approved on 7 Feb 2013. Please find my reply to...

@spidery_thread,

Many thanks for the information.

Thanks Amber, I'll do that.

Dear Fellow Members, Thanks for your support. As per Amber received the following response: I have just received this from one of the nationality caseworkers: UKBA Nationality wrote: Our service standards, as detailed on our website, states that 95% of postal settlement applications will be decided ...

Thanks Amber:

I think I have to take a chance and apply with a copy of the said provision and hope for the best.

Cheers

Many Thanks Amber. This section of BNA needs to be revised and set a time frame for ILR applications after which they automatically fall into category of Protracted. They delayed my ILR application now penalising me again to wait further 12 months for their slow processing. Do I have a choice? I gue...

This provision in the law states: consideration of an application for indefinite leave to remain, made more than 15 months before the citizenship application, had been protracted through no fault of the applicant, providing ILR was eventually granted But what is protracted period and who decides? Ho...

Thanks Jambo, I wanted to just get done with it, but now as per your advise will make a cautious approach.

Many Thanks.

Much Appreciated D4109125....

Will keep this in mind...

Dear D4109125, Thanks for you post. I got my ILR through 10 years Long Residence and I am not married to a BC. If 2nd option is the case, Can my wife apply for naturalisation along with me at the same time in Oct 2013(15 months from July 2012) once she completes 2 years(she got 2 years spouse visa) ...

Dear Moderators & Guru's, I would like to enquire about my residency requirement to apply for British Citizenship. I originally applied for Indefinite Leave Remain(under 10 year long residence) on 15 Sep 2011, which was refused on 21 Nov 2011(with no right of appeal as I had Limited Leave to Rem...

Dear Amber, Many Thanks for your reply. I have just double checked with Job Centre, that my JSA is at single person rate and it is contribution based. Upon claiming JSA for the very first time, Job centre staff did take photo copies of my and my wife's passports and Bio id cards, so they are aware o...

I applied for ILR in July 2012 and 3 weeks after applying I lost my job. I was granted ILR in Feb 2013, 7 months after applying and been jobless for all this period until now. I had lost golden opportunities due to the fact I didn't have confirm status in the country and no passport, most recently a...
