Applying for citizenship early
Posted: Mon Feb 17, 2020 8:20 pm
Hi all,
Looking to relocate soon to NYC temporarily for personal reasons with my job. I was hoping to wait till I can qualify for the UK passport via normal route but seems like time’s running out for the right opportunities at work.
I have received ILR in october 2019 after 5 years on Tier 2 visa. Prior to this I was on Tier4 from October 2011 (uk bachelor’s degree for 3 years: 2011- 2014).
Been in the uk continuously since then.
I am currently in the process of buying a flat, hoping to complete in April. Would this ownership of the flat, in addition to my long term residency in the uk, work in my favour when applying for citizenship less than 12 months of holding ILR?
Understand relying on ‘discretion’ is a whole lot of risk, but thinking opportunity costs, would like to know if I have a good chance of getting the BC early.
Many thanks for your advice in advance!
