Naturalisation application after 12 months of ILR
Posted: Fri Sep 12, 2025 12:27 pm
Hi team,
Hope you are all well.
At the outset, thanking Zimba and Vinny again for all the help, including the push to seek discretion for ILR application. Can't thank you guys enough!
Now, it's time for naturalisation. I'll be completing 12 months from the date of grant of ILR through dependant route on 09.10.2025. Just started filling out the form in advance so that I can submit on the very eligible date.
I have a could of questions needs your kind guidance.
1. Mother's Date of Birth: To my knowledge, her date of birth was XX.XX.XXXX, sadly, oh her passport, the date is different. On all of my previous applications, I gave the DOB that was on my mind. Now, my friend told me that I'd have to attach the ID documents (passports being the available one) of both parents and their wedding certificates along with the application. Just conscious that the date I gave earlier were different, what course of action can I do?
2. I were granted ILR grating discretion for my stay outside of the UK exceeded 180 days. But the days outside UK rule for naturalisation is fully compliant as I didn't spend 450 days outside the UK in the last 5 years and not outside for 90 days in the last year. Would the ILR by discretion a problem ?
3. Referees - my first referee is an ACCA accountant and has a valid British Passport. My second referee is also an ICAEW accountant and a Biritsh citizen, but her passport expired. Would this be a problem ?
Many thanks,
J
