Hi
I have got my ILR after completion of 5 years on work permit (total stay=4 years on student visa +5 years on work permit) with my two dependents (wife and son) on 28 May 2010.
Thanks to forum to gave me sufficient knowledge to make it successful without any problem.
My understanding to apply for naturalization is:
1- I can apply after 1 year -29 May 2011 or after (I have to make sure that I was in the country (5years ago) on 29 May 2006 or the date I am applying). Days out side the UK should not more than 450 in last 5 years including not over 90 days in last year.
2-My wife joined me in the UK on 28 Feb 2009.She also got ILR with me, she can apply for BC after three years (29 Feb 2012 or after) if I got BC in May 2011. Days out side the UK should not more than 227 (or 270) in last 3 years including not over 90 days in last year.
3-My 3 years old son- born out side the UK , joined me in the UK on 28 Feb 2009. (Currently having ILR too) can apply for BC any time (on discretion basis) after I got BC.
Is my wife and son can apply together in Feb 2012 to save some fee or he has to wait for 5 years.
4- Any kind of benefit like housing, IS, Tax credit, child benefit and pregnancy grant does not effect on BC application as these are allowed
(if applicable).
I am looking forward to expert’s comments and guidance on above.
Thanks in advance
