HI

I got my ILR on ILR on 28 june 2013 and before that i was on tier 1 general which was granted on 10 july 2008 .

i came to this country in feb 2004

now my question is when can i apply for naturalization ?

can i apply on 28 june 2014 or do i have to wait till 10 july 2014 to complete my 5 years on tier 1 general (10 july 2008 to 10 july 2014) and 1 year on ILR (from 28 june 2013 to 28 june 2014)

Any help will be really appreciated.

apply one year after ilr from 28 june 2014 onwards. naturalisation is 5 years residency counting backwards from dateHo receives your application and will be 1 year ilr and 4 years tier 1, 2009-2014. unless you are married to a Bc, then you can apply now based on 3 years residence.

maker sure you were physically present exactly 5 years ago, to the day, when ho receives your application.

thank you very much for your reply you have made my day

just one more question regarding form AN which is point no 2.1
