TOEIC (English Language) - British Citizen (Naturlisation)-20 years in the UK -

Post by Jill1404 » Sun Oct 15, 2023 10:47 pm

Hi All,
One of my clients stayed in the UK for 20 years, she got her ILR through 10 years of residency via student visa in 2013 after 5 years around 2018, she applied a British Citizen (Naturlisation) which was refused due to the TOEIC (English Language) now just recently her ILR card was extended and she asked Home Office if she can apply the British Citizen (Naturlisation), they said she may apply. My question here is can my clients apply for British Citizen (Naturalisation) if yes 
What form does she have to fill out for British Citizen (Naturalisation)?
How much is the application fees?
May I know the duration application outcome?
She has good citizenship for example social work here in the UK, completed her MBA  and worked in a big corporate firm in a very senior position in the UK
Will her application be successful in this case because of her TOEIC (English Language) before the ILR issue?

Please advise and thank you,

My question here is can my clients apply for British Citizen (Naturalisation) if yes Hmm, if the Home Office says so?
What form does she have to fill out for British Citizen (Naturalisation)? Online: https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... ne-form-an
How much is the application fees? £1580
May I know the duration application outcome? Anywhere between two and 6++ months, the official target is 6 months.
She has good citizenship for example social work here in the UK, completed her MBA  and worked in a big corporate firm in a very senior position in the UK
Will her application be successful in this case because of her TOEIC (English Language) before the ILR issue? I'm not really able to say yes or no, just sharing my knowledge and opinions.

Please advise and thank you,

@Jill1404, what are you doing?

You've been asked to keep your posts in one topic and you keep creating new ones. You were given an answer already!

I cannot understand why can you not comply with the rules stated. You're asking advice for someone else (also, why don't your client ask a question themselves?) on a public forum, please abide by the rules.
I very much hope your services are pro bono.
