@Noetic and CR001 thanks a lot guys for your replies here i am typing out the original text of the letter.
I refer to your application for naturalization as a british citizen under section 6(1) of the british nationality act 1981 An applicant under this provision is expected to meet certain residential requirements, One of the requirements is that an applicant was not in breach of the immigration laws at any time during your ''qualifying period'' of residence from 05th of july 2011 to 04th of july 2016.
As you were in the UK in breach of the immigration laws from 04th of April 2014 when your leave was curtailed to 30th May 2015 (When you were granted Settlement) this requirement was not met.
the home secretary has discretion to disregard a beach of immgiration aw for the purpose of an application for naturalization. To ensure the discretion is applied rationally and consistently an established policy is followed this policy is published in the nationality staff instructions on our website. Policy and law > staff guidance, instructions > volume 1 > chapter 18 > Annex B > paragraph 8.10)
A breach of Immigration laws would not normally be disregarded in any circumistances other than to exercise discretion exceptionally outside the criteria, the application is refused.
if you still wish to become a british citizen a fresh application for naturalisation must be made.
An application can be made at anytime but you are advised to ensure as far as possible that the residence and other requirements are met before doing so. In this respect I should point out that an application made before 30th may 2020 is unlikely to be successful. I cannot say in advance of an application what the outcome will be as this will depend upon all your enquiries taken at the time to ensure that the requirements are met.
As explained in out schedule of fees the appication for british citizenship is not refundable and has been retained to cover the cost of handling and processing your application. Arrangements are being made to return the sum of £80.00 which is refunded in the case of an unsuccessful application where a citizen ceremony is not required.
If you believe the decision to refuse your application was not soundly based on nationality law policy or our procedures and you wish it to be reconsidered , you must complete for NR and pay a Fee.
Note:- I have been in Britain since 2004 and I have never been outside Britain for more then a month or so and I have always had legal stay. However back in February 2014 my visa was curtailed because my sponsor license for the college i was in was cancelled. I wasn't notified by the college at all about anything and we were kept in dark by the management while they ran away with all the fees that we had paid to the college.
After I received a leave curtailed letter from HO i reapplied my student visa in april 2014 and since i only had a few months until dec. 2014 for my legal time period to be completed in UK to apply my ILR which was subsequently accepted in MAY 2015. Just after the completion of 1 year in May 2016 I applied my Naturalisation in July 2016. Please tell me can i fight the case , can i ask for the refund however it says in the letter that they do not refund the fees. One of my friends told me their case was refused and their money was refunded. P.S can reconsideration of the case Help
May 2020 seems to far and i want to travel
