You need to be physically present in the country on the day when UKBA *receives* your application, not the day you send it. Although it usually takes 1-2 days for them to get it, this can never be guaranteed hence the advice from NCS not to leave the country for five days after. Although if push came to shove it's not clear how they would ever find out.bulala wrote:2nd March 2007 5 years ago i was in the country.. i send it to them via special delivery on 2nd march 2012 5 years later so am in the country 5 years before sending the application to them.
That is (roughly) right .... see below.Thanks John, please just to get this correctly.. 2nd March 2007 5 years ago i was in the country.. i send it to them via special delivery on 2nd march 2012 5 years later so am in the country 5 years before sending the application to them.
The relevance, like it or not, is that it is a specific requirement of the Act of Parliament. That is, when applying for Naturalisation the applicant has a "qualifying period", which ends on the date UKBA receives the Naturalisation application. That "qualifying period" is 5 years long, unless the person is making a section 6(2) application as the spouse (or Civil Partner) of a British Citizen, when it is 3 years.Does anyone know the relevance of this as I am struggling to see the significance, if for example i was away to france for ?? on 2nd march and back on the 5th of march..wil i just not wait till the 5th of march 5 years later even if i qualified on the 2nd of march.
Absolutely, the application will fail. Accordingly, on those facts, the application must not be made. Making it, on those facts, would be a total waste of money.will this cause him the problem?
I'm curious - on what basis did you apply for JSA just a few weeks after arriving to the UK?Mow12345 wrote:I arrived Uk in 2nd february 2007 and I allpied the BC in 20 februar 2012.
What I did was I asked proof of staying here from the Jobcentre Plus and got those letters proofing I was taking Jobseekers allowance in early february 2007.
John, is that enough as a proof of five years of staying in the Uk.
Yes, you can travel with your previous passport after submitting application. but it is better to inform UKBA by sending a letter (recorded delivery) to them and mention your destination, time (how many days a way) and personel details. All days after submition won't be counted..so no worries at all.bulala wrote:Hi John - Please I have a question.
1. I assume you saying that he should be in the UK when he sends the application?
2. Can he leave/travel out of the UK after UKBA would have received and are processing the application ie if using the checking service one will still hold previous national passport when the application would have been sent - is it okay to travel with previous national passport after submitting application?
Regards.
John, i made the situation up to illustrate my question. it did not happen. But what that means is the date 5 yrs before is important and person should be physically present in this country on that date.. it does not matter if he/she is here before that date. if he/she was not there on that date then it causes a problem. correct?[/b]John wrote:

So the person was not in the UK on 23.04.07. After that trip abroad, when did they next enter the UK?
I didn't see this, but it happened to me. and this information was provided by UKBA in Leverpol when I called them.jms_uk wrote:Where did you see this?elliass wrote: Yes, you can travel with your previous passport after submitting application. but it is better to inform UKBA by sending a letter (recorded delivery) to them and mention your destination, time (how many days a way) and personel details.
So, a month after I applied, if I go on a 5-day break out of the UK [counted as 3 days absence] I should notify UKBA?elliass wrote: I didn't see this, but it happened to me. and this information was provided by UKBA in Leverpol when I called them.
After submition it won't be counted, but in your case as you travel alots, you have to call UKBA and explain that you need to travel regularly for your business then see what they can advice you with; this is just to be in the safe side....in my case I sent a letter because I traveled only once for a month but not for business.jms_uk wrote:So, a month after I applied, if I go on a 5-day break out of the UK [counted as 3 days absence] I should notify UKBA?elliass wrote: I didn't see this, but it happened to me. and this information was provided by UKBA in Leverpol when I called them.
And, do they expect that business people who might travel abroad once a week [0 days absence if they come back same day] to send them a letter every week during the time their application is processed [could be 6 months]?
I don't travel a lot, but I am sure there are people who do.elliass wrote: After submition it won't be counted, but in your case as you travel alots, you have to call UKBA and explain that you need to travel regularly for your business then see what they can advice you with; this is just to be in the safe side....in my case I sent a letter because I traveled only once for a month but not for business.
I don't feel that me going on holiday for 5-6 days will alter any information given in the form [it might for those who are close to 450/90 days limits], so I don't think that I'll be doing anything wrong in not notifying UKBA.While the application is under consideration we expect you to tell us about anything which alters the information you have given us. This will include changes of marital or civil partnership status or home address or agents acting on your behalf. It also includes police investigation or anything that may result in charges or indictment.
Thank you!elliass wrote:Good luck!
Becouse when I came here I was allready having ILR and I got my paasort after one year.jms_uk wrote:Jambo wrote:I'm curious - on what basis did you apply for JSA just a few weeks after arriving to the UK?

My family were here before me and I came here to join so I got the ILR in Uk embassy out side here if you know I mean.
What do you think that februar 2007 is the time I came here, february 2012 is the time I applied the BC. Do you think that is enough and make sure I send proof that I was in the Uk in that period of time except few weeks holiday.Jambo wrote:Mow12345 wrote:jms_uk wrote:Jambo wrote:I'm curious - on what basis did you apply for JSA just a few weeks after arriving to the UK?

I don't have the full details of your case, so can't really comment. But as I said, for proof of residence a passport/passports which cover the 5 years period is normally all that is needed.Mow12345 wrote: What do you think that februar 2007 is the time I came here, february 2012 is the time I applied the BC.
