Thank you
Thank you CR001.
thank you, it should be form the date of online submission when making the payment for the application then.
You risk losing your entire naturalisation fee.Schedule 1 of the British Nationality Act 1981 wrote:SCHEDULE 1 - Requirements for Naturalisation
(2)The requirements referred to in sub-paragraph (1)(a) of this paragraph are—
(a)that the applicant was in the United Kingdom at the beginning of the period of five years ending with the date of the application, and that the number of days on which he was absent from the United Kingdom in that period does not exceed 450; and...
Hopefully you didn't pay for such woefully incorrect advice. He seems to be confusing Citizenship with a specific visa route. I guess he also did not provide you with any official HO extracts to prove his point for citizenship???wewillgetit wrote: ↑Fri Jul 19, 2019 3:36 pmHello
I just had a chat with solicitor who advised me if I was away on holiday counting back 5 years and was living in the UK by then I don't need to wait and can apply for naturalisation as long as I was not away more than 90 days away (which I wasn't anyway).
Thanks
He really is talking the biggest load of rubbish. If you do not meet the physically present requirement and were out of the UK whether on holiday or business, your application will likely be refused and you lose your fee.I haven't paid yet, he was telling me that is referring to the fact that some people go away on their 5 years Period for long time and the HO wants to make sure that is not the case.
Citizenship does NOT distinguish any differnetly between ALL the different immigration routes. All visa routes face the exact same citizenship requirements. It is the 5 years residence immediately preceding the date of application that is relevant and must include the physically present requirement.Does this 5 years refer to 5 years working visa or any other category ?
Counting 5 years back from date of application which is the date you submit and pay online.or counting backwards starts from this application payment date?
Immigration Rules and Nationality LAWS are completely separate and independent from each other. What is likely acceptable for ILR is not necessarily acceptable for citizenship which are completely different laws and requirements. Best you do not confuse the two.So confusing! I remember on ILR letter it has mentioned that all of the immigration law and limitation are lifted, don't really understand this. Sorry and thanks for your quick reply.
