Citizienship requirment based on marriage

Post by fair_life » Sun Oct 11, 2009 8:57 pm

Hi everyone

My husband is applying for British citizienship based on marriage to me ( British Citizien). He has had his ILR for over a year now.
My question is regarding the referee who have known him for three years now. Tonight our friend has signed as he knows him for three years but one thing I am concerned is , when asked how do you know the person, our friend has put that he has known him through mosque.
My husband attends Friday prayer at local mosque where he met this friend but we immediately became worried about putting it that he knows him through the mosque. Do you think they will delay his citizienship or even refuse just because he goes to the mosque?
Or do you think they will want to carry out more thorough check, ( they can do as my husband is gennuine decent person).
Thank you very much in advance, any advise would be appriciated.

Therefore i don't think they will reject him on that basis.

That is right. Refferences are not only to confirm the character it is also to confirm the persons ID.

Thanks for all your replies, yes it is rather sad to think that we are afraid to express our belief just because of what happends with some minority narrow minded people.
As I said we are worried because we don't want any delays as we are due to fly to the USA in December.

Given that he is married to you, a British Citizen, there is no requirement for him to have had his ILR for at least one year. However do make sure that when he applies for Naturalisation he was in the UK exactly 3 years before UKBA will receive the Naturalisation application.
Do you think they will delay his citizienship or even refuse just because he goes to the mosque?
Absolutely not. In the UK there is of course religious freedom, that is, freedom to practice whatever religion a person chooses to follow.
