What was the reason for refusal and what is your full immigration history?

Re: british passaport
But law has changed again. You may have to wait under 31 March 2021, which is 10 years after you secure ILR.
The previous refusal was on the basis that you had not resided in the UK lawfully for 5 years.

Re: british passaport
Agree with Obie. You will have to wait exactly 10 years from the date you were granted ILR (obtained legal status) to qualify for British citizenship (British passport is a separate process after being approved for citizenship).
