Jan 2013 - Application for Brit Citizenship was denied because of alleged breach of immigration laws during the "qualifying period" of residence.
Applicant came to the UK illegally and stayed for 14 years undetected until he applied successfully for ILR under the 14 year rule which was granted in Oct 2011. After 12 months Applicant requested but got denied British Citizenship.
HO cited UKBA web site > Policy and Law > Staff guidance and country information > Nationality instructions > Volume 1 > Chapter 8 > Annex B > paragraph 8.10.
is HO right in denying British citizenship in this case? HO says he must wait 5 years.
Thank you all!
