Hi,

I was on HSMP and came to UK in OCT-2007 then got my ILR in SEP-2012 using 28 days grace period over the window. Now when should I apply for nationality i-e Sep 2013 or oct-2013 ? ???

Thanks,

You should apply in October 2013 as you must have been physically present in the UK 5 years prior to your application being received by the Home Office. Assuming you are not the spouse or civil partner of a British citizen.

OP came to UK in Oct 2007 which is 5y11m before the date of applicataion. Sept 2013 is the earliest he can apply assuming he was in UK in Sept 2008

Sorry I thought he wrote October 2008, my mistake. Though he should confirm he didn't mean 2008.

You can apply 12 months after having ilr providing you meet the other requirements.

Do i need any sort of passport copies of my refrees ?

had a friend asked for them when he was applying via NCS and luckily he had them on him. just to satisfy section 3 i think in the application.

you hear different stories when people apply via NCS and some times they ask for awkward or random stuff!!! so take them if you have them ready.

I have seen some posts related to it but still want to know if someone has done it or not.

Can you travel after applying for naturalization as i am applying through NCS so will keep my passport with me anyway.

On the forum ppl have asked this question but no one has said if they have done it or not.

secondly one of my friend's friend got detained on the border as he has travelled after his nationality application and HO has cancelled his ILR so they detained him in suspesion.

Any ideas ?

Cheers

Did you actually hear the details from the source or is it just a hearsay? Your ILR doesn't get cancelled when you apply for naturalisation (if fact, it doesn't even get cancelled when you become BC although it becomes irrelevant).
