British Citizenship

Post by starfuture » Thu May 04, 2017 1:40 pm

Hi
I want to apply for British citizenship
My timeline in the UK is
I received Tier 1 Entrepreneur initial application Outside the UK and received on 21st Jan 2013 and came into the UK on 15th Feb 2013, Visa was due on 21st May 2016 and applied for tier 1 accelerated route and received on 19th Nov 2016.
My question is when can I apply for British Citizenship?
and in the guide, it says AN and BN what is the difference in both?

Thank you

What is the date of your ILR?

In any case, you cannot apply for British citizenship before 15th February 2018 as you must be physically present in the UK exactly five years before the date of the application for naturalisation.

You should be able to apply any date after 14th February 2018, provided that you were physically present in the UK exactly five years previously.
