Dear Amber,

You are looking at the post from last year i.e. 2012 please forget about that post as it is done and dusted,
concentrate on the question in current post

Anyway what you are saying is interesting, can you please point me to some documents on this what you mentioned.

Many thanks

Dear amber,

She is here on the basis of "dependent of a settled" i.e I had an ILR when she was granted an entry clearance.

Did I answer your question?

Thanks

Dear all, I have a quick question and need your advice on this issue. My wife is a national of non EEA country and currently living with me in UK since November 2013 as a dependent. I'm a british citizen and due to move soon to USA on L1 visa due to work reasons. When my wife's visa will come to ...

Thanks for your comments.
I've applied on the basis of 7.4(d). Hope I hear something in 2 months time if not earlier.

Can anybody share their experience on the timeline of application under discretion.

Can someone tell me please about the time line (how many days/months) for naturalisation application under discretion.

Hi all, I need some advice on this matter please: (1) If I have a intra company transfer L1 USA visa on my passport and I apply for Naturalisation or after that for UK passport, would L1 have negative effect on my application for naturalisation or uk passport? (2) Can some one inform me please about ...

I'm concerned that my employer (an International company which has offices in UK and around the world in 85 countries i.e. its not only UK based firm) wants to transfer me to USA on L1 work visa for 3 years (its a non immigrant USA visa) before I apply for naturalisation in feb 2014. when I apply in ...

yes, it will be refused as you were not physically present in the UK on 31st Dec 2008. this is an unwaivable requirement that you must satisfy otherwise the application will be refused. so even though you complete 12 months ILR on 28th Dec 2013, you need to wait until 3rd Feb 2014. ps: I hope you ...

what are your dates? e.g. entry date? holiday dates? and planned naturalisation application date? it would be much easier to discuss on real dates than theoretical discussion based on the example. I came to UK on 15 Jan 2003 as a student I changed status to work permit on 15 Jan 2008 I got ILR on ...

Yes, it will be refused. This is a condition one MUST satsify. As per your example, you should have either submitted in advance latest by 23rd March 2010 or postponed submission of your application to 29th March 2010 I checked with few immigration consultants and they said by this rule they mean ...

The quoted text is taken from UKBA naturalisation website. "When does the residential qualifying period start? The residential qualifying period is calculated from the day when we receive your application. Most unsuccessful applications fail because the applicant was not present in the UK at the ...

Can anyone else shed some light on the original question please.

Many thanks!!

Thanks for the suggestion and I agree that safest option is 5th Feb 2014. But I have heard (not sure how correct it is) that it doesnt matter if my eligibility day falls over a weekend so I'm open to suggestions if there is any kind of discretion that applies here, I would like to know.

Thanks!

Hi, I got ILR on 28th Dec 2012. I can apply for naturalisation on 28th Dec 2013 i.e. after 1 year. And I should be present in country 5 years back that is 29th Dec 2008 Tricky bit is... - 28th dec 2013 is saturday. - I travelled on 29th dec 2008 - 4th Feb 2009, so the day I flew out is 29th dec 2008 ...

Thanks for your help!

My wife would apply for entry clearance in Feb from outside UK. should she apply as dependant of settled person or Tier 1?? My most recent stay was as Tier 1 General and I moved to ILR on 28th Dec 2012. On UKBA website its wriiten: "You cannot apply in a partner category if you: are the spouse or ...

Hi all, Quick history: - I got work permit on 15/01/2008 - Moved to Tier 1 on 30/03/2011 - Completing my 5 years on work visa on 14th Jan 2013 - I'm applying for ILR on 28th Dec 2012 Since I'm applying for ILR on basis of Tier-1 but I'm slightly confused about the new rules that came on 13 dec 2012 ...
