Hello everyone - i'm a Newbie and i hope some of you folks will be able to answer my query. I'm helping a friend do his British Citizenship [Naturalisation] application. Please help me work out if he's completed his 5yrs legal UK Residence yet as the Home Office seem very fussy about this in the guidance notes which accompany the form.
-he first arrived in UK on 01/11/2001
-the HO had received his political Asylum application by 06/11/2001
-he was granted full Refugee status and ILR [indefinite leave to remain] on 21/01/2002
Now my confusion is on whether we calculate the 5yrs of the required continuous LEGAL Residence from the date he became an acknowledged Asylum-seeker [06/11/2001] OR the date he was actually granted his ILR as a Refugee [21/01/2002]???
Your advice/info will be gratefully appreciated, especially from all who've gone through a similar process - please bear with me if my question seems silly or obvious...i'm only writing the application on my friend's behalf!! Cheers.
