REFUGEE SETTLEMENT

Hello everyone . Just wanted to ask a few questions.
1.How long is the wait after Biometrics taken
2.Does it mean with Refugee settlement you can’t go to your home country as before
3. If you overstayed for just a month after your visa expired is that regarded as bad character when applying for Naturalisation ?

No one can confirm the timescale.

You risk your refugee status being revoked. Why would you return to country from which you've sought refuge 
3. If you overstayed for just a month after your visa expired is that regarded as bad character when applying for Naturalisation ?
In order for anyone to advise you, you'll have to give your full immigration history in the UK.

Home office is blind, I know so many who are traveling frequently after getting ILR and British passport to their home countries from which they have sought refuge even most of them are my family members and they have never been stopped.
One of the family member is planning to go in January once she gets citizenship.
Immigration system is a joke.
I think laws are only for PBS applicants. Refugees are exempt.

Which 'laws' would that be that only apply to PBS applications???
Refugees are not 'exempt' from certain laws or requirements for ILR and Citizenship and there have been members posting of ILR being revoked due to traveling to home country they claim refugee/asylum from and then traveling there. This is deception on their claim of persecution etc in home country.

1. If you apply for your home country passport, then HO could take the view that your asylum claim was not valid or a true reflection of circumstances and accuse you of deception or false representation as if you can get a passport and travel home, then you don't have a fear of persecution etc. I suggest you read the links I have previously provided. If you are from Zimbabwe, they are no longer on the 'at risk' country list, so you need to be careful what you do.
2. 10 years from the date you became legal to be safe.
3. Please do not post in non ILR sub forums. Your topics have been merged.

3.4
Triggers that lead to a review of refugee status
Where someone has refugee status, revocation action can be taken at any time if there is sufficient evidence to justify such action. This could be:
•during the initial period of limited leave
•after their leave has expired pending a decision on any settlement application
•whist the refugee has indefinite leave to remain (ILR)
It is possible to consider revocation on one or more grounds and any criminality by the individual or any dependants should lead to a review of the case
to consider whether revocation action is appropriate.
The following is not an exhaustive list of triggers. Where there are any concerns about a grant of refugee status, caseworkers should discuss the case with a Senior Caseworker or Technical Specialist
.
Return to country of origin or obtaining a passport.
This will usually indicate voluntary re-availment and may lead to revocation under Paragraph 339A(i)-(vi)
.
Reasons for the grant of asylum no longer
