UK naturalisation and citizenship.
Applications for naturalisation and citizenship are a common part of our work. Our most frequent case type is helping with an application for full acquisition of the UK immigration status needed to become a British citizen. We love working on this – it is a positive and symbolic moment for a person – the right to remain here with their family, friends, and community.
End of a Long Journey Monica’s UK Naturalisation
Monica originally came to the UK as a student in 2008 to study at a University in London. Having completed her studies, Monica was later sponsored by a UK-based employer. In 2013 she changed employers, got married, and switched to a UK spouse visa before later switching to an Indefinite Leave to Remain visa in October 2018.
In October 2019, despite having more than 10 years in the UK and over 12+ years of work/education, Monica still encountered issues applying for UK naturalisation. She came to us in 2020, and we helped her get British citizenship by working through the UK and the Home Office documentation needed to support her case.
Naturalisation is not automatic or guaranteed and it is important to demonstrate that you meet the legal and residency requirements and good character requirements.
