I don't think it matters what visa(s) you had so long as you have got ILR.dajumper wrote:Thanks djb123
That's what i thought as well (need to have ilr before applying to become BC). But just wasn't clear when the ukba website states that you have to have lived for 5 years in the uk, however, it does not specify under what sort of visa/category.
Its not about the date of approval but the date you applied. so if you applied before 3 April 2006 then you will be eligible to apply under the 4 year requirementSaf wrote:Hi
Thank you for your reply.
As my HSMP application was approved after 3 April 06, I have to complete 5 years before applying for ILR.
Can anyone help on new probationary citizenship rules? How they can affect me?
Probationary citizenship rules are likely to come into affect in Summer 2011 (around July - http://www.bia.homeoffice.gov.uk/managi ... tizenship/).Saf wrote:Hi
Thank you for your reply.
I phoned Home office and they confirmed that they received my application on 13 April 2006 and I do not fall under 4 years rules.
Could anyone put some light on new probationary citizenship rules?
Thanks
