British Citizenship - five year qualifying period

Post by burjaturk » Thu Jul 16, 2015 8:25 pm

Hi,

I wonder if anyone can help.
I've been in the UK as a student since September 2006.
My student visa expired on 30 December 2011. Before it expired, I applied for Post Study Work, I got my refusal decision. I then appealed on additional grounds - which was successful. I obtained an unmarried partner visa on 27 July 2012. I then obtained a ILR on 4 July 2014. My unmarried partner and I split up in March 2015 so I cannot go through three year qualifying period.
I am currently applying for British Citizenship, does the five year qualifying period include my time here as a student under student visa?
Does anyone know the answer?

Thank you.

Yes it does. All legal residence qualifies.
(Casa, not CR001)
Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
