Your application for British Citizenship was received on 17 June 2021. Your application has been considered under section 6(1) of the British Nationality Act 1981.
You have not demonstrated that you meet the requirements for British Citizenship and your application has been refused.
What this means for you
You have not been naturalised as a British Citizen.
The reasons for this decision are set out in the next section.
Yours sincerely
Reasons for decision
I am not satisfied that you are of good character. The good character guidance (
http://www.gov.uk/government/publicatio ... y-guidance) explains how good character is assessed
You have not met this requirement because of:
your immigration history
You were in the UK when did not have permission to be in the UK between 07 April 2012, when your leave to enter expired, and 16 December 2014, when you were granted a Residence Card, which was less than 10 years ago.
This means you do not meet this requirement, as the extended family member of an EEA national, you did not have an automatic right to live and work in the United Kingdom based on that relationship. Extended family members of EEA nationals do not have the same automatic right to live and work in the United Kingdom under European law in the same way as direct family members. Only those defined as ‘family members’ of an EEA national have an automatic right to join, live with or accompany EEA family members who are exercising their free movement rights.
This means you have not complied with UK immigration laws in the 10-year period prior to the date of your application.
Therefore, I am not satisfied that you meet the good character requirement.
Next steps
The application fee for British Citizenship is not refundable and has been retained to cover the cost of handling and processing your application.
You will be refunded the sum of £80.00 because you are not required to attend a citizenship ceremony.
