What have the immigration rules got to do with this? We are talking about a Naturalisation application! Clearly the penultimate bullet point is met.
I have to say that I disagree, obviously the penultimate point did not met, and this is why:
you made
a successful application for indefinite leave to remain more than 15 months before your naturalisation application but the decision on your application was delayed due to something that was not your fault.
In this case his intial application was
not successful, otherwise he would been told that he got ILR based on his application for ILR that he made in 2007, BUT, instead he was not told hat he was granted ILR OUT OF IMMIGRATION RULES, thereofre, as his intial application was not successful so he would not be entitle to discretion to disregard immigration time restrictions during the last 12 months need for naturalisation. Here we go back to sequre 1, as he has never been free from immigration restrictions till march 2010, so he would needs 12 months post ILR (out of immigration rules, not becasue his inital application was concluded successfully with ILR), which means march 2011, before he is entitle for naturalisation.
