Until when is ILR (BRP valid) while Naturalization is in progress

Post by srathore » Fri Mar 17, 2023 11:25 am

Hello,

I am on ILR, If I have applied for Naturalization and awaiting decision my understanding is my ILR is valid to travel back into UK, my question is if I am abroad and have received approval for my application and have been provided date for ceremony is my ILR still valid and will it continue to be valid until I attend the ceremony after returning back into UK. Also I can move the ceremony date if I am not available on the date allocated to me?

You are only British once you have attended the ceremony, therefore your ILR status is valid until the day you attend the ceremony/swear the oath. You need to contact the council regarding postponement.
This is just my opinion as a member of this forum and does not constitute immigration advice.
Please do not send me private messages asking for advice.

No sin in failing, you just have to try and try again!
