Hi guys

Maybe you could help me with this:

What are some of the compelling reasons one has to give for someone who has ILR via long residency (14 yrs i.e.), for the home office to disregard the 5 yr residential qualifying period?

Cheers

Excellent advise from Casa. Check the http://www.oisc.gov.uk/ website for advisers. Ignore the post from groispois......he's of the negative sort.

I was illegal. I was an overstayer.

I made my application in Feb 2005 and was granted ILR in Jan 2009. My settlement application was based on long residency and the 7 year child concession. Since then, I have acquired a mortgage, raised my child who is are now 12 and holds a British passport. I am seperated from my son's mother and we...

lol. I really said that as a joke. Anyway the information that some pple could be after includes, how old you were when you applied, documents provided, whether you made any follow up to the HO (thru MP, solicitor, self etc), any communications from HO to you. that sort of thing. The long residency...

OK, thanks for clarifying that. Much appreciated John! you are a bit tightfisted on information there. There maybe someone in a similar position to you who views your post and any information you provide with regard to your application may help them. I thought I had provided all the info necessary ...

OK, thanks for clarifying that. Based upon what you have posted it is clear to me that you did not become "legal" until you got your ILR, and accordingly that date is when your qualifying period started. So I shall stick with what I posted earlier :- You need to be totally "legal&quo...

I applied both under the 14 year rule and 7 year child concession. It was a2 pronged attack.

Hi Guys Could you please help me determine the right time to apply for naturalization? Here's the situation....... I applied for ILR in Feb 2005. I was granted ILR on 13 Jan 2009.
