When can I apply for a citizenship?

Post by klimov » Wed Aug 19, 2009 9:48 am

Dear all,
I have a question regarding how soon can I apply for a British citizenship.
Information I got is so confusing, so some clarification would be much appreciated.
My immigration history:
Arrived in the UK aged 17 in 1995, claimed asylum 1996,many refusals.
June 2009- granted ILR under legacy.
Getting married to British national next month.
Never in any trouble with the police.
I was told that I can apply for a citizenship after one year by somebody who used to work for a HO, and yesterday I was told that I could apply for a citizenship as soon as I got married.
Who should I listen to?
Another question I have: I messed up my credit history because of failed business, I my concern that if I declare myself bankrupt it will affect my application, but on the other hand- it is not as if i spent money on drugs and gambling.
What is your opinion?
Many thanks.

Banckruptcy Section 7
Have a read of that section and it will should give you a better indication of how your case may go if you do declare yourself bankrupt. i think it would be wrong to give an opinion without know the full facts

when some one ask for help try to give them answer instead of meddling in their business. alot of time people on here never gets any reply on there question but instead are ask why this happen and so on.

you shouldn't declare bankruptcy as this will be a process which will be declared to the HO. Also hope your tax payments etc... were all up to date as this may also affect the decision.
