hi Shaha93,

With more recent cases we have seen money taken off account quite close to bio-metrics letter date.
In your case, I believe it's simply the wait before it gets assigned to a caseworker.

I would call the home office with your original reference number and ask them to confirm.

Regards.

Shaha why you get refusal, can you share plz?
£80 will taken don't worry.
And there is not time limit for reconsideration.
After 8 months Some one receive approval.
And most them are refuse base on over stay and breaking rule.

Ali-Hsn is not asking for your HO reference number. Why do you think this is the case?

[Rassel]

Hi Shaha
As CASA mention, keep your personal detail. Don't disclose.

[ieroglif]

Just an update really:

Submitted a Reconsideration Application on 13/04/2015.
9 and a half months later - still waiting...

So stop winging everyone and just wait. There is nothing we can do anyway.

why did they refused you in the first place and what was the reconsideration based on?
Thats a lot i have to say - how long has it been in total since your initial application ?!

As mentioned in the earlier post -

I applied for British Citizenship on 19/05/2014.
Got a refusal letter on 12/03/2015 (10 months later).
Submitted a Reconsideration Application on 13/04/2015.
It has now been over 6 months and no decision (no calls or letters from HO either).

Frustrated...


why were you refused?


They said I have not spent a continuous period of 5 years in the UK – here they may be referring to the time spent outside UK (under 12 months) when my mum was undergoing cancer treatment. Clearly, an absence of up to a year is permitted if it’s on the grounds of serious illness which it was. Supporting documents submitted.

Now after waiting for a year for their decision, it is definitely more than even 6 years.

I applied in the first place after being in the country for 5 years 2 months.

Well maybe the reason for the long delay is actually in your favour - maybe they're trying to let enough time go so you can qualify without reason of doubt
I have to say applying for AN 5 years and 2 months after knowing that you have been out of the UK cumulatively for more than the 450days limit is a risk you took upon-yourself
Retrospectively thinking now - maybe you should have waited till 2015 and you might have had your Certificate by now;
But as I was saying maybe I am sure its on its way

Dear Forum members, I have received a decision letter unfortunately my application was refused and the reason for refusal is not holding a Permanent Residence. Thinking to apply for reconsideration.

When did you submit your application? Did you read the AN Guide and AN Booklet, specifically the sections on residency requirements? Did you have permanent residence status or not?

Hi guys,
My husband had applied for British citizenship in August 2015 so recently received a letter that his application has been refused due to 5 years residency requirements.There is 1 year gap between his passports However my husband got his ILR based on 10 years lawful long residency August 2014.My husband was also not working during that period so can not provide wages slips.
Can anyone give advice he is going to send for reconsideration does he have to send Bank statements,car insurance,etc

[erdogan1]

Does he not have a BRP

[ali_hsn]

Hello

It's disappointing that you have to prove residency again after ILR - anyways, along with BRP (ILR) you may use the council tax statements to prove he was a resident in the gap year.

Update on my application: Raised it with MP again after writing a letter to the home office and got a call from the home office yesterday. Somebody apologized (that's a first) that it has taken them this long to come back. He also mentioned that he can confirm that my application is now with the case worker who will in either case provide an update in writing in a week's time.
I am just happy at least my application is no longer gathering dust in the pile somewhere. Fingers crossed!
