Need clarification on if this affects my application for BC
Posted: Sat Jul 10, 2010 6:58 pm
I was born in Britain to African parents who were overstayers. I had to apply for ILR status which I now have.
I have an African passport which hasn't been stamped with my ILR status. My ILR status is on a separate sheet of paper which I have stapled onto this passport for ID purposes. (This is due to me not knowing that I needed a passport before receiving my ILR). Enough time will has passed for me to be able to apply for British citizenship.
My question is, Do i have to get my African passport stamped with my ILR status first before applying for the British Citizenship? I recall reading somewhere that this is the case but I'm not so sure.
Thank you.
