Refused ILR - will I gain probationary citizenship?

Tier 1 Citizenship

Hello all

I've read the Green Paper which I thought stated Highly Skilled Migrants no longer have to have Indefinite Leave to Remain to get UK citizenship. Can anyone confirm this or know when this part of the new procedures will begin???

I just rang them and they said the new rules have not begun yet. I explained that 29th Feb was listed in the green paper and they just repeated that the new rules had not begun yet.

Firstly amount of absences was never a criteria that was made clear at the time of application (I could have saved myself £750). Secondly...
