Re: Refused British Citizenship due to being in the UK Illeg

[Rassel]

You are miss guided,
I know lot of cases around this society got ILR on legacy in 2009 and 2010
and 2011, Citizenship approve in less then 3 month.
You are unlucky, its simple legacy case also immigrant in time.

If you put an application in before this 10 years has elapsed, you will just lose your money and get a rejection. Better to wait 2020, transfer your ILR to your own passport and enjoy your next 5 year.

Rassel,
i lost all my asylum cases , I had exhausted my appeals by 2008. however i was granted Irl through legacy backlog cases in 2010
I couldn't apply for naturalization in 2011 because they say you have to be free of any migration restriction for 5 years.

So many rude people in this forum. They didn't even get to understand your case but jumped on conclusion of "wait until 2020"

San Maro, if you believe they there was improperiety in the way your case was rejected, please appeal the decision but use a good solicitor. In your OP, you said they organised an interview between you and your country of origin representative and you did not attend however you believe this is a lie as your country of origin didn't have an embassy in UK by then. You can use this against them, get a good immigration solicitor and ask for proof the interview was organised and you were invited.

Everyone has their own luck.
Good luck

A solicitor is not required to apply for a reconsideration. The poster can ask for a reconsideration at any point. A reconsideration is NOT the same as an appeal.

Hi All,

Could anybody please help me with good suggestion regarding my naturalisation refused.

..

I received correspondence from the Home Office on 12.01.2016.stating that ETS has a record of our speaking test. Yours scores from the test have now been cancelled by ETS. On the basis of the information provided to her by ETS, the SSHD is satisfied that your certificate was fraundulently obtained.
As such, the Home Secretary deems I do not meet the good character requirement for naturalisation and you application is refuse.

I really wonder and worried that they haven't given me appeal this time instead they gave me reconsideration form.



Anybody please let me know valuable advice and suggestion to overcome from my queries below
1)Are they going to revoke my ILR?

[ohara]

Were you aware of the ETS controversy? Have a read of this thread: http://www.immigrationboards.com/uk-tie ... 73589.html

Also, naturalisation is a privilege not a right, and as such there is no appeals process, only reconsideration.

[Daniel97]

I got a letter from HO about my Naturalisation application made 4th Dec.
The letter stated where an applicant has not been compliant with the UK immigration laws in the 10 year period prior to the date of application the application will normally be refused.

They indicated i was here without a valid leave in the UK between 3 september 2010 when my leave to remain expired and i left the UK 6th August 2011 to my home country to regain entry clearance. the reason for this to happen was my application for my spouse visa 15 August 2010 this was rejected due to funds not taken from my account and got a letter on 26th November 2010 deemed invalid and was asked to reapply.

I reapplied on the 18th of Dec 2010 but got another letter on 11th Jan saying i used the wrong form. i immediately made another application using the right form in Jan received acknowledgement letter 4th of April and was sent a letter for biometrics on 6th April. On the 13th April i received a decision that my application has been refused due to the fact that i made a valid application after my leave to remain expired on the 3rd of september 2010. My wife was the one taking up all the maintenance and up keep as I had to leave my job immediately at the time.

I seeked legal advice and was finally advised to go to my home country to re apply which i did on the 6th of August 2011. So the letter is asking in order that we may give further consideration to your application please state how you were maintaining yourself in the country during this period and provide appropriate evidenceie wage slips, benefit letters, evidence of other income. please provide this information by the 18th May. Failure to send required informationby the given date will result in the application being refused. anyone please advice....thanks

I finally got a brown envelope today with my application approved and waiting for my ceremony letter...thanks everyone who contributed and shared stories on this forum.....

Please how long did it take home office to send Your ceremony letter after the approval letter?

I am sorry but under good character requirement, your application will be refused because you broke the immigration rules by working more than you're entitled to of a period of YEARS but you can try your luck and risk losing over £1k

Before, one even considers applying for citizenship, to the best of my knowledge you would have to first and foremost apply for indefinite leave to remain and be granted same accordingly. see https://www.gov.uk/becoming-a-british-citizen

Now the fact that you have legally been granted leave successively as a student for 10 years with out any rejections/refusals for all intents and purposes represents that you have an impeccable immigration history and as such may give you a strong chance of success. Where such offence has not been unveiled or brought to the immigration officers notice, you may still have a strong chance.

£1005 is quite a gamble to take. You do realise that HO make thorough checks on people, it's likely they will find out about his illegal work, providing it was not some cash in hand jobs which were not declared (and therefore no tax paid).

Don't forget, applicants for the privilege of citizenship are required to provide their work history & to sign a legally-binding Declaration that vouches for their application too.

Hi.how come this new law of 10 years ban if you were in the UK illegally. A person who had 5 years resident permit after marriage to an EU member on 2011.start counting there days outside UK which not supposed to go over 450 days on the past 5 years. Then on December 2014 the new law come and it will apply on them.do you think the judge will accept such thing.its clear that is not right.when I got my 5 years resident permit I have been told to wait 5 years then ILR for 1 year then nationality. So if they would like to start this law they start it with people who didn't have anything before December 2014.if we start to take them to court I am sure we will win.thank you

The privilege of British Citizenship is governed by UK national legislation.
And British passports are issued by Royal Prerogative (that is, a 'gift' of the Queen).
So these matters are not dependent on any EU rules & regulations.

Hi All,
I am looking for a senior member advice regarding my refusal of AN application.
I made an application on October 2015. Under 5yrs Tier2 + 1 1/2yrs ILR, through Aberdeen NCS service. The reason for the refusal as stated on the letter was “you were here without valid leave in the united kingdom between xx July 08 when your leave to remain expired and xx October 08 when you were granted further leave to remain. You were not therefore complaint with UK immigration laws”. So far, I did not even aware that I had stayed in UK without a valid visa.

After completion of my degree in Nov 2007, I started working for my company under IGS (international graduate scheme). My employer made a work permit application before the expiry of IGS visa (July 08). Unfortunately, HO. refused the application, later the same has been granted through an appeal process on September 08. Based on my work permit approval I have granted a leave to remain on October 08.

The visa valid date on my work permit was not in line with my IGS visa expiry date. It was issued based on the date of my work permit leave to remain approval. Now this is causing issues on my neutralisation application.

After this incident, I successfully made 3 visa extension and 1ILR application with no issues.
Did anyone come across this sort of issues before?

I am not sure whether I worked illegally in the UK during that period. If so how did home office approved my work permit leave to remain application in the first instance?

I am thinking of applying for reconsideration, but I am not sure how strong my case is.

Thanks for your time.

Under Home Office Guidelines, your application will be accepted even though you entered the country illegally. Case Workers can exercise a discretion if you were illegal for not more than one month. Still a discretion will be applied to a case where the applicant over stayed for not more than 2 months under special circumstances.

So to answer your question; there is a high chance your application will be accepted
