I will greatly appreciate help. Please advice when i am able to apply for citizenship. here's my life story:
1: first granted Tier 1 Post study partner visa-valid Feb 2009 to Nov 2010
2: PBS Dependent Jan 2011 till Jun 2013 (I dont know if the gap between Nov 2010 and issue date of Jan 2011 has any bearing).
3: Tier 2 Partner Mar 2012 till Jan 2014 (I switched from one visa category to the other)
4: I spent a year out of UK from Nov 2011 till Dec 2012 which then reset my ILR clock.
5: Tier 2 General Migrant VIsa valid from Jul 2014 till Sep 2017 (again not sure if the validity period has any bearing as I have always applied before the visa ran out!)
6: Leave to remain valid from Sep 2017 till Mar 2018
7: Leave to remain valid from May 2018 till Nov 2020
8: Spouse/Partner leave to remain valid from Feb 2021 till Aug 2023
I applied for Leave to remain in 2018 under Appendix FM 5 year partner route which was rejected under paragraphs R-LTRP.1.1.(a), (b), and (c).
I was granted leave under 10 year partner route under paragraph D-LTRP.
I have just been approved ILR valid for 12months.
Looking at the Gov UK website, it looks like I do not need to wait for 12 months of ILR before I can apply for naturalisation. Is that correct? Can I apply for naturalisation now?
Your advice will be gratefully received.
