krishna186, What you posted is correct but not relevant. There is no link between the requirment of being free for 12 months from immigration restrictions and the 5 year (or 3 year as a spouse) presence requirement. As advised before there is no room for discretion over this. see below: Residential ...
The applicant must have been present 5 years ago to the day the application is recieved at the home office. There is no discretion over this issue. If your wife applies it has to be after 11 Dec 2010. The possible workaround is for you to apply first and when successfull your wife can apply as a spo...
You have ILR already and therfore a right to stay in the UK permanently. You can leave and enter freely without any problems Regarding Citizneship I think you still have to be technically married until May 2011 (I'm not sure if you have to live togather). Otherwise you can wait another 2 years (unde...
Mumtos - You do not have a court conviction so assuming you don't have anything else on record your application shoud be succesful. Even if you would have had a court conviction it would have been a minor offence. There is no guarantee but the chances are good. Just mention your PND in your applicat...
Since the fine was not issued in court I'm not sure this is considered a conviction and in anyy case I think you stand good chance. If you mentioned this in your application the worst that could happen is that you will be refused, loose your application fee and advised to apply when the fine is spen...
Azad, You are wasting your time. No one will be able to provide you with certainty either way. It will be up to the specific caseworker.
If you disclose your offence (as you should) the worst you face is loosing your application fee. Otherwise, wait for 5 years when the fine/conviction gets spent.
There are no instructions for your specific offence. This is why it will be up to the specific caseworker discretion. You are not without a chance but then again you might be refused. As I said the worst that can happen when you declare your offence would be loosing the application fee and you can a...
Have a look at the link: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/documents/policyandlaw/nationalityinstructions/nichapter18/ch18annexd?view=Binary You have to declare it on the application and I think it will be subject to discretion. The worst that can happen is that you loose your applicatio...
From a few week (even 3 to 4) to several months. It is hard to predict.
There is a seperate thread here in which you can review timelines of applicants
The fact that you don't have any convictions on your paper license does not put you completely in the clear as most points get cleared after 4 years but If you are confident you did not have any driving convictions with a fine in the last 5 years they would have been spent by now so you can safely t...
Regarding your wife - there is one thing you can check. If you apply for citizenship is succesful then your wife can apply immidietly later as a spouse and I think the residential requirments are 3 years. In order to demonstrate the residential requirements for naturalisation you need to: â– have be...
John - Are you sure? The children were not born in the UK. 3(1) applies when one or more parent applies for citizenship but am not sure they can apply before Children born abroad to parents who are applying for British citizenship Where one or both parents are applying for British citizenship they m...
I have total absences 350 ish (270 ish at a time continuesly) I will apply at the end of 5 years what are my chances and do I need to give reasons for absences from UK? No more than 450 days in the last 5 years should be fine for naturalization. Note that in the final year you need less than 90 days...
Being abroad for most of the the last qualifying year will certainly affect your wife's application for naturalization as Adult application's stand on their owm merit. She will probably be refused. Regarding your son, I think the rules are less clear. I think your wife's situation (if she is refused...
The problem is that in most cases the NCS ask you not to leave the UK for a working week (at least 5 business days) after you apply to make sure that you're in the country when the application is recieved in UKBA.
Unless married to a UK citizen, you need at least 5 years residence in the UK and be physically present in the UK 5 years exactly 5 years before your application reaches UKBA (and be free from immigration restrictions which you alreay are) - this means that in your case you can apply from 31s March ...
