my question is
If it takes more than 8 months for UKBA to process an ILR
application, does the processing time count towards the nationality
requirement? Or does one have to wait for 12 months from the date
of issue of ILR to apply for nationality?
For example, if one applied for ILR in May 2012, receives ILR in
January 2013, can a person then apply for nationality in May 2013 or
would he have to wait for 12 months after date of issue of the ILR
which in this example would be January 2014?
I couldn't find any specific information on UKBA
website on this. The nationality section says you should have been
free from immigration time restrictions during the last 12 months
of the residential qualifying period. So is the ILR processing time
counted towards restriction free time?
please help me anyone ?
thank you
