thank you John, that’s what I thought when I had a call yesterday, perhaps the only thing that made it quicker is I am known to the home office as they have issued me with DLR back in Nov 2009John wrote:zebra3, wow, just over 2 months for a 14-year ILR application. Amazing, and congratulations to you.
It will be interesting to see if others post about such speedy treatment. Historically 14-year applications have been taking over a year to be processed.

Hi John,John wrote:zebra3, yes I think that helped. That is, whilst a 14-year application is for someone who was not "legal" in the UK for at least part of the 14 years, the fact that you were "legal" in the last part of the period will have helped.
When can you apply for Naturalisation? Without delving into your full UK immigration history it is impossible to say. However we can be certain that you were "legal" in the UK as from 23 Nov 2009, so you can definitely (under current legislation) apply for Naturalisation as from 23 Nov 2012.
Can you apply any earlier than that? Your full UK immigration history prior to 23.11.09 would be required.
But what does your solicitors say? They obviously have details of your full UK immigration history?
no John, I came on eurostar and been here Illegaly until 2008 when I got married and applied to the home office, never claimed asylum.John wrote:It is up to you whether you tell us. But for example, did you come here legally and then overstay? Or did you arrive in the proverbial back of a lorry? And then you applied for asylum? If so, after you arrived, how long before you applied for asylum?I had no legal status prior to 23 Nov 2009

I sent my application the same time as you and in the last week they returned the application asking me to provide further evidence for 4 separate gap years in which I had no bills or proofs. I've been here for 15 years illegally (student visas) and they are asking me to provide the current password as if I have been having holidays all over the world and been allowed to travel out of the country.
Did you have bills and evidences for all 14 years, by the way?
I believe I will be granted ILR in this country when reach 104 and then I will start my life
