Naturalisation - 7.5(g) Discretion and Address History
Posted: Wed Sep 18, 2013 12:27 am
Hi any one Please come forward and share your experience whose application for ILR was delayed for more than 6 months Due to UKBA & he/she applied for Naturalization less than 12 months after ILR qualifying period, according to the immigration rules which allows the secretary of state to exercise discretion where an applicant fails to meet the requirement to be free of immigration restriction for the final 12 months of the residential qualifying period.
Chapter 18 Annex B Paragraph 7.5 (G) OF Nationality Staff Instructions
7.5 Discretion to disregard immigration restrictions in the final 12 months may normally be exercised IF:
(G) 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 .This can include applications for asylum which has resulted in the grant of ILR.
There should be many examples of it as number of ILR applicant were been through hell of longer than 6 months wait for their decisions with no fault of them.
Kindly share you experience as your value information can make a lot difference for others. I am planning to apply now within 18 months of of my ILR application and just after 6 months of Grant of ILR rather than 12 months. But I have tried NCS but they are not willing to apply through their service and advising me to send application personally by post .
