Hi Milan69,

I got issued my ILE from my home country in February 2011 and entered the Uk February 2011 which means I've had my ILR since feb 2011, so should be able to naturalise in feb 2016 ( after 5yrs) would have had ILR continuously for 5yrs

Thanks Casa for your responds so far, so if this ILE was an error, they can't really go back on it can they, seeing as they refunded my access right application fee in full and also issued a NTL bio card?

Since it can't be the 3 yr spouse route to naturalise I was wondering if the 5 yr residence is meant to start when I came back after getting ILR from my home country or will all the time i was already in the uk as an asylum claimant count towards the 5yrs cuz I was actually only in my home ...

Correction : been in the uk since 2004 (not 2014) Thanks Milan69... That's what i thought. Can any one shed abit of light on the rehabilitation period changes and if it applies to naturalisation applications?
