Fair enough. I was just asking as sometimes people are under the impression they need BC in order for their family member (children, spouses) to be eligible although in many cases, this is not required.arutnl wrote:Thank you Jambo for the reply.
Yes I did read your posts in that link and I have my personal reasons for applying.
No. As I said, it's the ILR/PR which normally prevents the mix. In your (unusual) case, you should be able to mix the visa types as ILR/PR is not an issue.Yes, the NCS person did agree that as an Irish citizen I can apply after 5 years as Irish are considered settled from day one.
Do you think there is any requirement that says applicant cannot be on different visa types? i.e. UK Immigration + EEA
Hi arutnl. I am in a similar situation. Is it possible to have some more information with regards to your case.arutnl wrote:My Experience with NCS and the timelines:
I have been in UK on HSMP 2yrs + Tier1 1Yr + IrishCitizen 2 yrs.
I applied for naturalisation via NCS. The person in the NCS gave me hard time as he thinks I am not eligible to apply for naturalisation. (I won't blame him as my case is a bit different). He spoke to the Homeoffice guys while I was there when checking my documents. The Homeoffice guys also told him that I am not eligible. Even I took the phone and explained to them but still they weren't convinced. At the end the NCS guy accepted my application with a note saying that I have been explained that it might be refused but I still want to apply.
Their point is, either I have to be in UK on the normal HSMP+Teir1 route + ILR or the EEA 6 yrs (PR).
In my case it is a mix and that too less than 6 yrs because of Irish and 'Common Travel Area'.
I applied on 20th Sep and received my approval on 08-nov.
I think the NCS people are not always that knowledgeable and even some of the home office case workers. I have written a covering letter explaining my case with pointers to the relevant points from case workers instructions. I think this is what saved my application.
My advice to any one would be, if your case is a bit different, then do your research and if you are sure of everything, then just don't accept what ncs people say. Stick to your point, but make sure you explain in cover letter.
The guys here have been extremely helpful.
Good luck.
