Ok I was given Leave to Remain till 2012 Sept, I passed my Life in the UK Test. Apparently I was told I used the wrong applying as I chose Citizenship, whereas I should had chosen Indefinite Leave to remain.

The person was telling me I need to wait 3 more years, apply for ILR. After getting ILR, wait another 5 years before applying for Citizenship.

Is the person right?
will I be refused application? because someone else was telling me I can still apply for citizen depending on circumstances and situation.

I saw someone's post about their refusal situation. Do you think UKBA are refusing applications because of the Olympic 2012?

thank you.

ILR is required for naturalisation.

thank you Vinny and for the fast response.



Can I also ask.
What if I get my ILR, and want to apply for a citizen (naturalisation). Can I use my life in the UK that I passed as Citizen Status to support my application?

thank you:)

Yes.

Vinny thanks for the sweet responses again.

But I wanted to ask to be sure.

On the Life in the Uk site. When filling in details it asks
Reason for taking the test
Reason for test*
Settlement
Citizen
Other


my friend said it's probably for survey, the person that corrected me on my mistake said that it doesn't matter.

I was looking at my letter and it says Life in the uk....for people looking to settle or to claim british citizen. It doesn't really show any specific of what I am applying for, it says either for settlement or citizen. So apparently it's basically for both.

So let me ask, does it matter if I put down Reason for applying is for Citizen, even though I wanted Settlement?

this is getting retarded for me man

If you haven't applied for ILR yet, then the reason for taking the test is "settlement"

.... unless you are a migrant covered by HSMP JR. If you don't know what HSMP JR is .... best that you ignore that bit (as it doesn't apply to you).

thanks Sushdmehta
(you should call yourself Sushi ):P

i think it doesn't matter, the Life in the UK test is for both Settlement and Citizen application.

Or UKBA can just chill out
i mean I would be applying for citizen in the future
