So you mean UK naturalization is neutralization process??paulp wrote:Please, it's NATURALISATION, not neutralisation. If you want to apply for something, at least know what you are applying for.![]()
nat·u·ral·ise –verb (used with object)
1. to confer upon (an alien) the rights and privileges of a citizen.
neu·ter –verb (used with object)
10. Veterinary Science. to spay or castrate (a dog, cat, etc.).
neu·tral·ise –verb (used with object)
1. to make neutral; cause to undergo neutralisation.
2. to make (something) ineffective; counteract; nullify:#carelessness that neutralised our efforts.
yeah why do you think they have that rule?John wrote:Just ensure that you were in the UK exactly 5 years before BIA will receive the Naturalisation application. It is a strange rule, but very important, and BIA have no discretion about this.
So looking at that date of 14.03.2009, if that is indeed the application date, the question is ... were you physically in the UK on 14.03.2004? If not, don't apply on that date.
For example, if you were on holiday out of the UK from 12.03.04 to 26.03.04, then you would need to wait until at least 26.03.09 before submitting the application.
As far as I recall, it's how the law is worded. BIA has no discretion over this matter.SYH wrote:yeah why do you think they have that rule?John wrote:Just ensure that you were in the UK exactly 5 years before BIA will receive the Naturalisation application.

That was a bit harsh mate. Do you speak many other languages fluently? I have met poms that dont write english as well as this fella. Pull the stick out.paulp wrote:Please, it's NATURALISATION, not neutralisation. If you want to apply for something, at least know what you are applying for.![]()

It has happened more than once on this board that posters have confused naturalisation with neutralisation. You wouldn't want them to go on believing they are the same do you? The spelling may be close but the point was that the meaning are very very different.neritan wrote:That was a bit harsh mate. Do you speak many other languages fluently?

The line I took exception to is this "If you want to apply for something, at least know what you are applying for.

Would you buy something without being sure what you are buying? Would you ask something to be done to you without being sure what it is? Seriously....neritan wrote:The line I took exception to is this "If you want to apply for something, at least know what you are applying for. Shocked "
That was arrogant and uncalled for.
Let's not get into that. Many people in the world are raised bilingual, trilingual or even more.neritan wrote: Do you speak any other languages? are you so perfect in those that you have never made a mistake?
Asking to be granted British Citizenship is no small matter. How does it reflect on the applicant if he/she didn't even bother to get the name of the process right? What does that reveal about his/her intentions? Does the applicant really want to become a British Citizen with all the rights and duties that it entails, or do they simply want to be able to come/go/work as they want in the UK?neritan wrote:I am sure the home office gets what people are asking for. Perhaps they even point out the error without being a %$£" about it.
Hmm I don't think the HO likes it or they wouldn't have implemented that stupid life in the uk test.neritan wrote:The line I took exception to is this "If you want to apply for something, at least know what you are applying for.

Even the best pocket translation dictionaries wont have either of those words in them. Are you suggesting they go out and buy a really expensive dictionary just to keep you happy? I am sure the home office gets what people are asking for. Perhaps they even point out the error without being a %$£" about it.
Hi John, is there a way to change the title of the post?John wrote:OK, point surely made ..... please, no further comment about the word used by the OP.
