Exemption from KoLL
Posted: Wed Oct 03, 2018 10:36 pm
Hi there
I wonder if someone could point me in the right direction here. I am doing my mums Naturalization applicaiton.
She is 62 yrs old. She meets the residency requirements. She has had ILR for the last 6 years. Her husband (my Dad) is a Naturalized British Citizen. He has Cancer. My mother is a housewife and cares for my Dad.
My mother never went to school and as such has had no formal education. She does not speak English. Efforts over the last few years to teach her English have not yielded any results. She has cognitive impairment / depression. This has been assessed by a consultant psychiatrist and her GP also. That said due to her depression and general nature (stigma of being labelled a mental patient) she has not been keen on being seen by mental health professionals despite our best efforts to get her to do so. As such there are no detailed records of her mental illness, save a two week hospital stay 10 years ago for sever depression, prescriptions for anti depressants, the report from the consultant psychiatrist and her GP.
Her GP has completed the Exemption form and stated that in her opinion my mother cannot meet the KoLL requirement and that she does not think that my mothers condition will improve at any point in the future.
Please can someone assist with the following questions:
1) Did you or any one you know apply for Naturalzation while claiming exemption on the basis of mental or long term illness? Could you share your experience.
2) What documents did you submit? Is a completed exemption form sufficient evidence or would I need to submit additional paperwork to ensure a successfull applicaiton?
3) What other documents are needed? My mother is a Housewife. Never worked in a job. Do I just need to submit the following with her applicaiton or is there anything else:
i) Her Passport covering last 5 years
ii) Her Biometric Residence Permit
iii) Exemption Letter from GP
Thank you in advance for any assistance you may provide.
Best regards
