it appears so.
I will be calling them tomorrow, and post an update, I think its an interesting question.

to be honest IMO if you can apply in year i cannot see why you cannot apply immediately, so your immigration adviser maybe right in saying you can apply straight away. With regards to HO Official telling you that you have to apply after 1year - did you explicitly mention that you were married to a ...

Christophe, I was told my my case worker in Legacy team that I can apply for a citizenship after a year. My immigration advisor thought that we can make an application earlier then that,but his advice sounds a little too good to be true. I am fully aware of residency requirements for easy immigratio...

Ehhh... Its just that I'm trying to get it done quickly... you know being here 14+years without status made an impact on me. I made up my mind already, and I'll be applying once 1 year is up, but if one can become a citizen today, why wait for tomorrow? Agree? :wink: If HO is prepared to waive resid...

Thank you. I think that I'll apply for a citizenship once 1 year ILR is up. I was told so by somebody who works for HO. I just thought I could do it quicker, but better to be safe then sorry. Can I apply at 11 months and 1 day? or it has to be 12 months exactly? Because you are married to a British...

As your ILR was granted outside of immigrations rules you may want to read this thread . Also read Nationality instructions especially section 8.7. I bring to your attention section 8.10 last paragraph: an application for asylum or leave to remain was refused but, the application was reconsidered a...

Thank you.

my wife is british, i got married after being granted ILR. with regards to other criteria this is what HO says: Immigration time restrictions You must be free from immigration time restrictions when you make your naturalisation application. Unless you are married to or the civil partner of a British...

its strange..... so many people read my post, but no replies. is it really difficult question

Can somebody advice please. Question is: When can I apply for a citizenship? Is it now, 1 year into marriage or 3 years. I have arrived in the UK in 95 aged 17,on a tourist visa, claimed asylum 1wk later in 96. in July 96- refusal, appeals and so on... last one in 04 I think...all together about 6-8...

Dear all, I have a question regarding how soon can I apply for a British citizenship. Information I got is so confusing, so some clarification would be much appreciated. My immigration history: Arrived in the UK aged 17 in 1995, claimed asylum 1996,many refusals. June 2009- granted ILR under legacy....

thank you for this, and another thing, is there a number I can call to find out about "legasy cases" resolution, and whenever i'm on the list?
is it possible?

I am a russian citizen living in the UK for 13 yrs. arrived on tourist visa, claimed asylum in 96 when i was 17, wrote intoductory letter in lunar house that decision to claim was made whilst in the uk. refusal after refusal, no interview either. I am living with UK citizen,and we had plans to get m...

i want to know what to expect if immigration comes to my place of work. i honestly can't say if i am still legal in the UK or not, cos all my appeals are exausted (claimed asylum in 1996)but last time 2 yrs ago i called IND i was told that my case is still under consideration, and i dont want to cal...
