Hello all immigration gurus,

I came to this country on 15-Sep-2004 and got my ILR on 19-Aug-2009(applied 24 days before 15-Sep-2009 as it is allowed)

Now i want to apply for my naturalization.

My question is can I apply after 19-Aug-2010 or i have to apply after 15-Sep-2010??

Hi,

Why to wait until September. The OP has entered UK in September 2004 and got ILT in August 09 and he can apply after one year from his date of receiving ILR as he has already compltered qualifying residence period of 5 years.

hi all,
thanks a lot for all your responses. i called home office yesterday after calling 0845.... number several times finally i managed to speak to some one. what she said was iam eligible to apply after 19Aug2010, but she is not ready to confirm anything, all she says is "according to what you have told me you are eligible" and when i asked her can I apply then she says its up to you to decide. they are not ready to confirm anything.
but anyways since you guys have confirmed that iam eligible to apply after 19Aug2010 i will call NCS and book an appointment.
i am asssuming OP = Original Post, correct me if i am wrong.

We require evidence to cover the relevant five-year period. You should provide:
