I can imagine how hard this must be for you. Stay strong. However, on a personal note, I will suggest you wait for 12 months on ILR and apply on your own. If someone has hurt you so bad that he was sentenced for it and you have not had contact with him for almost 1year, I don't think tieing yourself to him because of citizenship application will help any future legal case you might want to build for divorce. Again it would appear that you have separated but not divorced, I don't think you should be claiming "we are still married" for your own benefit.BlackLadyBoss wrote: ↑Fri Nov 01, 2019 5:02 pmHello,
I am looking for advice.
I have been eligible to apply for citizenship since Sept 2018 as married a British citizen. I got my IRL on the 7th of Feb 2019.
To start a new job in Zurich I want to apply for my Citizenship now so I can start asap as I need a British passport to accept the job. I have not had any contact with my husband since Dec 2018 due to Domestic Violence. He was arrested and sentenced in Jan 2019, He is on probation now for 5 years. We are still married as I cannot afford a divorce right now but I do not have access to his original passport / Citizens ref number as I have not seen him since he got sentenced in Jan. I have a copy of his passport (data page only) in PDF.
Is it wise for me to try and apply now or just turn down the job and apply in Feb next year using 12 months on ILR? I don't want to apply and waste money to be rejected.
Thanks for any advice given
Thank you, I had a tier 2 visa for 5 years so I got my ILR independently of my Husband. I have been in the Uk for 9 yearsCR001 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 01, 2019 5:42 pmNot sure what your start date would be for a job because citizenship applications can take up 6 months. There is no fast track or super priority service available and you can only apply for a passport once you have been approved and attended your citizenship ceremony.
Note also if your husband is a naturalised citizen, the form asks for his naturalisation certificate details and passport details.
On what basis did you get ilr as your previous topic says you held a tier 2?

Has it been 15 months since you first applied for ILR? Not asking approval date but date of application.
