I think you summed up well all the information. If he was convicted by court then it should be declared in his application up to 5 years after the conviction (BTW - there was no fine?). Can he get away with it by not declaring? Perhaps but you can also get away with any crime or cheat. What do you e...

NCS will ask you not to leave the UK for 5 business days after your appointment (to make sure you will be in the country when the HO recieves your application).
After that, you may travel freely

You need to hold Permanent Residency (PR) status for 12 months before you apply so you probably need another year (meaning July 2013) before you can apply for citizenship..

I reccomend you apply in July 2012 for your PR confirmation certificate

Although I understand that the OP is a British citizen and this might not be relevant for him but is that also true for parents who acquired ILR and then (theoretically) lost it due to living abroad ? Can they still register their children who were born in the UK? I think not because they are not &...

Correct although my comment was referring to the requirement stated for the parent to be in the UK. This is not needed. An application under 1(3) can be done anywhere in the world and there is no residential requirement for the child or the parent. Although I understand that the OP is a British cit...

The kids that were born in the UK when the parent had a work premit are not automatically British and would need to be registered under section 1 (3) but the parent must do it while still in the UK otherwise it would be too late. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/britishcitizenship/eligibility/chil...

Once your husband (or ex husband) received ILR then he can apply for citizenship on his own merit without any connection to you. In that case he will need to have lived in the country for at least 5 years and have ILR for at least one year. If as you claim he was still married when he married you an...

Following Jambo - You can still return to live in the UK without any restrictions since you still have a valid ILR.
If you do not intend to come and live in the UK then is British citizenship important to you?

Back then (in the 60 and 70s) the term British Citizen did not really exist in the sense it does today because it is based on a nationality law from 1981. The term used was Citizen of the UK & Colonies (CUKC) based on the 1948 nationality law. The right to abode means the right to freely move in...
