Re: Eligibility for citizenship

No, I am not the spouse nor civil partner of a British citizen.

So that means if I apply for naturalisation on 21st May 2017 then I need to make sure that I was physically present in UK on 21st May 2012, right?

By reading different posts, I can imagine that it does not really matter if you apply by post or in-person after making changes (amendments) to tax returns. Eventually, (depending on your luck) you might be asked to justify why you made amendments. So I think keep application simple to add bit of lu...

It is evident from posts and well known generally, that the Tier 1 General route was abused, which is likely why the route was closed, and this is the likely end result of 'cleaning it up'.
