My Settled Status ILR was issued on the 26th of May 2021 (although I was qualified for it since March that year but the application took 8 weeks). It doesn't matter when you qualify for it, what matters is when you actually got it.
However I submitted my application for Naturalisation on the 24th of May 2022 after midnight as I confused the dates. I already paid for the application but have not been asked to book the biometrics appointment yet.
Is the UKVI likely to reject my application on this ground. Is there anything I could do right now to rectify this? Nope, worse case, they'd send you a redeclaration date. It should be fine as it's a honest mistake.
I was told the application is considered fully submitted from the day biometrics are collected, is that true? in this case that shouldn't be an issue?
Would really appreciate it if anyone could share any insights if they've had experience with this.
Many thanks
There are other such instances of people applying a bit in advance. If you can, please upload a cover letter. UKVI wont reject the application. At worse, they will write to you mentioning if you are ok for them to consider the application for a later date like 15Jun for example. You just need to say yes to that request and they can proceed further [assuming you satisfy the 5Y presence in UK rule for the later date].js2289 wrote: ↑Tue May 31, 2022 10:29 amHi community, I have a bit of a strange situation here I'm hoping you would help me with.
