Consideration for AN application under discretion
Posted: Wed Oct 23, 2019 9:45 pm
Hi, not sure if anyone had such experience. I applied for citizenship on the 2nd Sep, but I have overlooked the residential requirement, I was not physically in the UK 3 years ago from my application date because I was on holiday. I have received an email from HO on the 2nd of Oct stating this matter and asked me if I would want to re-declare my application otherwise my application will be refused, so of course I replied and re-declared my application date was 4th Oct, then HO replied and acknowledged my re-declaration and said they will start a re-declaration process.
I understand HO is considering my application under discretion. I wonder if this situation still gives me British citizen same as applying without issues or discretion? Will this massively prolong my application process? and what exactly is the "re-declaration process"?
Thanks.
