There is no quick answer to your query.

You will need to point out all your immigration history, to get any information.

thank you Mr lookforward, i tried to apply for long stay (thanks to a unhelp lawyer) was refused and went to court in 2004 and it was refused.

the out of the blue in april 2011, they wrote to me to post my passport picture etc as they are about to close my file and when i replied back with all the inforamton required i was granted in june 2011.

many thanks

You really have to tell the whole immigration history. Whatever you have just posted does not clarify anything.

What long residence?
Was it under 10 years long residence rule or 14 years rule, or was you application granted under article 8 grounds?

Did you ever applied for asylum? What was the outcome? Were you ever given temporary admission? Did you ever abscond from reporting restrictions?

You really need to tell the whole history with dates and accurate chronological information, before trying to get even a hint of what the outcome might be of your future naturalisation application.

I am afraid that if you are unwilling to share all this info, then at least I wont be able to point you to any relevant informations.

Mr lookforward, please dont think am not willing to share anything.

when i came to this country in jan 2000, this lawyer told my partner that they are granted ppeople so i qualify, he took money and submitted application (on the basis on long stay even though i had been there for less than a month) nothing was heard until on feb 2004 they refused my application and we went to appeal, with my partner and my daughter who at that time was 4 months, (to let me stay cos of baby and partner) they refused the appeal and wrote to me in Nov 2004 that my daughter and myself can go back home and i wish to come back then i need to go through the right chanell,No other communication from them; i had another baby in 2010.

they didnt tell me when to go or ask me to report or anything and i didnt hear from them till 2011 when they ask me to post passport etc, which i did (in the indefinate letter all it say it i have been granted discretionary as i have connections in this country which i assume are my kids)

there is no quoting of 10 years or 14 years.

Now, I hope you carfully understand what I write.

If I start to back up what I say with British Nationality Act and current UKBA quidance for naturalisation applications, I will end up writing a few pages, which I don't intend to do.

Bascially 10 days after your appeal was refused, you became an overstayer (illegal immigrant/living in breach of immigration laws). To meet naturalisation residence requirement the said residence should be legal. Because your legal residence starts from 2nd June 2011, you do not meet the requirements. My personal advice would be to apply when you meet residence requirements.

This will be 2nd June 2014 (if on 2nd June 2014 you are married to a British Citizen). Otherwise you will qualify on 2nd June 2016.

You can apply for naturalisation now if you do not worry about application fees. Your application now has a very extremely remote chance of success. A refusal is almost certain. Remember, there is no appeal for naturalisation refusals. But hey, if you are financially ok have no worries about losing application fees then you may give it a shot.

thank you very much for explaining things to me , i will wait and apply when i qualify.

Hi Mr Lookforward, i tried my luck in applying for the naturalisation and will like to confirm that i havve been succefully, my ceremony is booked for next week.

Well done. You have been lucky. In the end, the buck stops with caseworker as to how he decides to exercise discretion.

Hi Mrlookforward,

Hope all is well with you,

My brother does not have stay here but his kid born here is now 10 years and he wants to apply naturalisation, i have look online and came across forms T1, is this the right right forms, if not can you please let me know what forms he needs to fill out please.

Yes, it is the right form for the kid. After his kid gets nationality, he should also look into regularising his own status.
