Advice on filling 2 questions

Dear members

I need 2 clarifications please in filling the naturalisation form:

Q1.3 Date of when you were given ILR? For example, let's assume my PEO appointment was on 01-11-2013. The expiry date on the BRP is 01-11-2023. However the issue date shown on the BRP is on 15-11-2013. Which date should I use to answer Q1.3; 01-11-2013 or 15-11-2013? I've searched a lot on this forum but couldn't get a clear answer.

Q1.22 Knowledge of language / life in UK. My ILR application was after 28 Oct 2013. Therefore, should I tick only the one box that reads "I met the knowledge .... on or after 28 Oct 2013" and keep the first box blank for LITUK test details? Also I assume I DON'T need to submit any English language or LITUK evidence, is this assumption correct?


Thanks for any assistance.

If you have a letter use the date on their, otherwise to be on the safe side, use the date on the BRP (it is only a few days afterall)

Also I assume I DON'T need to submit any English language or LITUK evidence, is this assumption correct? Submit it if you have it but complete the LIUK details in the form. You need to submit proof of English, which is separate from LIUK, unless you are from a majority English speaking country.


Thanks for any assistance.

Thanks for the response but because I have showed evidence of English language and LITUK after 28 Oct 2013 I thought there is no need to submit the evidence again during naturalisation? I don't want to submit uneccessary supporting documents.

You need to submit them again otherwise it will delay your application. Naturalisation rules are different to immigration rules.

There isn't a lot of paperwork to submit with naturalisation applications anyway, so what difference will it make to rather include them than have your application put on hold, delayed or rejected.
