I came to live in United Kingdom since April 2010, soon after that I did report to Home Office and applied for asylum seeker. On 06/05/2010, I had my first interview with Home Office (Lunar House, Croydon, London) relating to my Asylum seeker application.
During above interview, I did report and declared to the officer of Home Office that: While I was staying in France, I was threaten by the people from trafficking group that I must not tell to anyone my real name and date of birth details, otherwise I could get hurt and they would not let me coming to the United Kingdom. I was so afraid, worrying and panicking! Therefore, I had no choice but to obey and follow their orders. There was once, I have been arrested by the Police at Calais border and I had given my fake name and age to Police officer as I have been told to do so.
The truth was I did declare all above details during the interview of Home Office that while I was staying in France, I had different name and date of birth. The officer did take note about these details.

On December 2014, I have been committed an offence of driving without insurance. Regarding about this offence, I always feel sorry for what I had done!

On 2015, Home Office approved Indefinitely leave to remain status for me and my son. At this time, I intended to apply for British Citizenship. But according to the record of my offence (Driving without insurance), my solicitor advised me to wait for another three years for this application.

Then on July 2017, my mum informed me the horrible news that my dad has got lung cancer and he was dying in seeing me for the last time.
I was so upset and anxious to see my dad. Therefore, I decided to apply for British Citizenship in the hope to see my dad soon. But, on October 2017 my dad was passed away due to lung cancer illness.

I did not realise that using different name and date of birth in France that also be committed as an offence. As on May 2015, during the interview for my asylum seeker application, I had already declared to the officer of Home Office about these details. And therefore, I did not declare about that again when I completed Application form for British Citizenship. I only declared about my offence of driving without insurance (December 2014).

According to the above matter, my application has been declined and I will not entitle to apply for British Citizenship in the next ten years.
Anyone give me some advice , what should I do then , can I fight back? Any chance to win ?

Vinny is asking you to type out the paragraph from the letter with the EXACT words that HO has used and which rules etc they reference (take out personal info, like name for example).

If you expect any useful advice from strangers on the internet forum, this will be helpful, we cannot GUESS what they said.

Remove personal details from letter, etc.

What is your solicitor's advice?

What is your solicitor's advice?
. Application refused for the reason
- it is a requirement for naturalization that a person is of good characters. In the British nationality Act 1981.
- our enquirer into your clients application confirm that he entered a Uk controlled zone in Calais illegally on 03/05/09, using name and date of birth...Your client failed to declare on his application for citizenship that he has used a different name and date of birth . The Home Secretary considers your client’s actions constitute that your client meets the good character requirements for naturalization.
- if your client still wish to become a British citizenship. He must make a fresh application at anytime but in view of your client actions he is advised that an application made before 20/07/2027 is unlikely to be successful.
I don’t have any advice from solicitor yet.
I don’t know what going on , I am stuck and stressful

Did you keep a copy of your AN application?
Did you mention your interview for your asylum that occurred in May 2015 in your AN application?

Probably best to ask your solicitor.
