but also this:Residential requirements
To demonstrate the residential requirements for naturalisation you need to:
â– have been resident in the United Kingdom for at least five years (this is known as the residential qualifying period); and
â– have been present in the United Kingdom five years before the date of your application; and
â– have not spent more than 450 days outside the United Kingdom during the five year period; and
â– have not spend more than 90 days outside the United Kingdom in the last 12 months of the five-year period; and
â– have not been in breach of the immigration rules at any stage during the five-year period.
see the websiteImmigration time restrictions
You must be free from immigration time restrictions when you make your naturalisation application. Unless you are married to or the civil partner of a British citizen, you should have been free from immigration time restrictions during the last 12 months of the residential qualifying period.
If you are free from immigration time restrictions then there is usually a stamp or sticker in your passport saying that you have indefinite leave to enter or remain or no time limit on your stay. But you may have a letter from the Home Office saying that you are free from immigration conditions. See The documents we require for naturalisation applications for details of how to prove you are free from immigration time restrictions.
There is discretion to allow applications from people who do not meet this requirement. For details of how we apply discretion, you should read the page on discretion to regard immigration time restrictions during the last 12 months.

How long must I wait for naturalization?
I applied on 14yrs law.
Standard requirements for naturalisation wrote:Breach of immigration laws during residential qualifying period
You must have been in the United Kingdom legally throughout the residential qualifying period. We may refuse your naturalisation application if you have breached the immigration laws during the residential qualifying period.
I was legally in UK for 9years up till the APPLICATION, with varing visas but then we applied for iLr before it expired but the decision took 5 years so we changed it to 14years application.John wrote:Vinny, a 14-year application was made, which means that for at least part of the 14-year period he/she was an "illegal".
So I think we need to wait and see what details are posted about the UK immigration history, before we can give an informed comment about when a Naturalisation application might be possible.
John, I have left couple of PM's for you for some help. I was wondering if you could kindly reply to them for me please.John wrote:If those are the facts then it looks like you have been "legal" throughout, and thus you should be able to apply for Naturalisation as soon as you have had ILR for one year.
Except, maybe sooner! The 14-year application. When was that submitted?
