How were you able to apply for settlement after being on HSMP for 4 years? Going by the rules, HSMP JR does not apply to you.kasif wrote:Good Afternoon Everyone,
I hope you are doing well.
I have couple of queries regarding Naturalisation, hope you will answer them.
I entered in the UK in September 2004 as a Student and in March 2007 I have got HSMP visa which then extended and based on that last week I have got my Indefinite Leave to Remain(ILR).
I am wondering about the requirement to apply for Naturalisation because I heard from my friends and solicitors that I am eligible to apply for it now because I have been in the Country for more than 7 years ( 3 Years Student + 4 Years HSMP).
Can you please confirm me if it is possible to apply for the Naturalisation now or do I need to wait for another 1 year?
I will be very grateful to you if you could please answer these questions.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Thanking you in advance.
Kind Regards
Iqbal
Unless married to a British citizen, you may apply for naturalisation only as and when you fulfil the standard requirements, one of which is that you should have been free from immigration time restrictions during the last 12 months of the residential qualifying period.kasif wrote:I am wondering about the requirement to apply for Naturalisation because I heard from my friends and solicitors that I am eligible to apply for it now because I have been in the Country for more than 7 years ( 3 Years Student + 4 Years HSMP).

No. Having settled status (ILR in your case) is one of the mandatory requirement.mishbha wrote:So can I apply for naturalisation after my husband becomes a British Citizen without the need to get an ILR next year
Yes, if you fulfil the requirements.mishbha wrote:can I apply for Naturalisation as soon as I get ILR?
