no news from me yet.....still waiting (august applicant)
Looks like all august/September applications have been DUMPED.
Don't say that - let's just hope that they haven't been dumped - How many Aug applicants have contacted their MPs - I am in the process of contacting mine as it will be over 6 months on Mon.
Someone here posted a link to a FOI request which meant that we could potentially apply for British Nationality 15 months after original submission SET(O) date . Does anyone know anything about that?
This whole wait it taking the mick TBH. Such an incompetent organisation it's bonkers.
Hi Lambu 1
I could not find the link you mentioned about "people can apply for citizenship after 15 months of ILR application" but I was very intrigued. So I would like to hear second opinions about this issue from fellow forum members.
This issue appeared to me as extremely important to many of us here since most of us will unfortunately fail to get our ILR even within 6 months. Even if you get your ILR in 6 months plus a waiting time of 12 months, gives you an 18 moths waiting time for citizenship. Therefore being able to apply after 15 months of ILR application sound like a better news to me. Only evidence I could find about the rule you mentioned is here (Page 15 item g);
http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... iew=Binary
beginning of the 12 month period, and the other statutory requirements, including the other residence requirements, are met, only if : (....)
"g. consideration of an application for indefinite leave to remain, made more than 15 months before the citizenship application, had been protracted through no fault of the applicant, providing ILR was eventually granted."
Now if this document is still valid, this tells me that our eventual citizenship application itself will not be delayed although the BA time wasters delay out ILR. Many members recently took their ILR including spidery, settlement10year and abisingh (and many others) can apply for citizenship in 9 to 10 months time from now instead of waiting 12 months more.
Am I right or wrong?
