Congrats bro. I think nothing tipped it to your favour except that the application was wrongfully refused. Good character kicks in at the age of 10; hence, being overstayer is out of the question as your daughter is 7.alladin wrote:just to update, the above was granted under Section 3(1).
Thanks for responding. The subsequent granting of naturalization (Naturalization certificate was issued under Section 3(1)) within 1 month does seem to suggest that they did consider the Section 3 (1) application again. I did not apply for naturalization after my daughter recieved her ILR.ouflak1 wrote:No. You pay and they keep the reconsideration fee iregards of the success. In your case, since you made the correct valid application within the validity of your child's visa, and the ILR was subsequently granted, the reconsideration request became a moot point. No need to even process it, so they just returned the fee. Nice of them really, considering you'd already been refused, they perhaps didn't have to do that. You made a wise and timely move.
I think maybe my wording wasn't clear. So here is the timeline I suspect happened, and is the reason why your reconsideration fee was refunded.alladin wrote:Thanks for responding.
