Your first date of entry is the date you first entered the UK. i.e. the date some 10 years ago when you first arrived at Heathrow, Gatwick or whichever airport applies. Note that it also asks for your first port of entry which will be the airport, seaport you entered from i.e. Heathrow airport, Gatwick etc. Hope this helps. Good luck with your submission.Strictly speaking my first date of entry was 10 years ago but I got my ILR based on 4 years Work Permit, and now am applying for Naturalisation on this (4-yr WP) basis + 1 year ILR.
is this true even if the first entry was on a 6 months tourist visa?donpetuchi wrote:Your first date of entry is the date you first entered the UK. i.e. the date some 10 years ago when you first arrived at Heathrow, Gatwick or whichever airport applies.

Congratulations Sid. Very happy for you.sidster007 wrote:Thanks Incognito. Once I obtained the delivery ref number from the IPS I called up DX secure and got the delivery address changed to office. They had my work address on the system anyways since my supporting documentation for the passport application had also been redirected there.
Cheers
Sid

Congratulations on your approval. To be honest it might be better for you to delay your ceremony till your return as 3.5weeks is tight in my opinion.Dilemma is that I travel in 3.5 weeks time, should I try and get Passports sorted before then or just leave the ceremony till I get back in January.

Congratulations mate. Guys any clue about above?keshgrover wrote:Hi Guys,
My Uncle's and my journey have started today. We both applied BC through NCS Wandsworth. Mine application was OK. But they have raised a requirement to my uncle to submit his ex-wife's EU ID card or Passport. However he argued that this is not the requirement by law. And lady said she will double check with HO on Monday before sending application to them.
Now my queries are :
1) As my uncle is in middle of his divorce with his EU wife, there is no way his wife is going to provide her ID to him for what soever reason. What would be his options?
2) He have applied BC under 5 year Treaty right Directive 2004/36. As he completed his 6 years on 1st November 2009. (6th Marriage Anniversary). Will he be asked to reapply on his own right again? OR this application will be fine?
Many thanks.
