Yes you will be fine. You will need to submit the URN of pre-settled and settled status as proof you have ILR.
Can I please ask why you waited 5 years after settled status before applying for British citizen? Was it because you needed to prove lawful residence if you applied let’s say 1 year after the settled status?
It is 5 years lawful residence which MUST INCLUDE 1 year on ILR/Settled Status. Citizenship is based on the 5 years immediately before the date of applying.Kam86 wrote: ↑Fri May 31, 2024 8:55 pmMy last question is: I obtained settled status on May 2019.
5 years of lawful residence has passed since then. I need to wait 1 more year because one requirement for British citizenship is 5 years of continuous residence and 12 months after obtained settled status. So total 5+1 years.
Thank you all, you are very helpful.
Before you acquired settled status, your residence was already lawful (unless you were in breach of immigration law or committed some offence that would cause concern under the good character requirement). You could have applied 1 year after your settled status was granted, so 5+1 would have elapsed in 2020 for you. You didn't need to wait 5 years from when your ILR was granted. You can go ahead and apply now if you have all the needed documents.Kam86 wrote: ↑Fri May 31, 2024 8:55 pmMy last question is: I obtained settled status on May 2019.
