New arrangements for acquiring British citizenship by migrants
a. New arrangements for acquiring British citizenship by migrants
Part 2 of the Bill proposes the following:
Generally increased waiting times for naturalisation for applicants. It is proposed that the norm will be 8 years for those seeking to naturalise on the basis of residence in contrast to the existing 5 years, and 5 years for those seeking to naturalise on the basis of marriage in contrast to the existing 3 years.1 The journey towards naturalisation could be considerably longer in cases involving migrants with refugee/human rights based leave2 and also in those cases where leave is precluded from counting towards the qualifying period.3 In both cases there exists the possibility that that the total journey to naturalisation could exceed a decade;
Given that the citizenship proposals are to fit within the new ‘pathway to citizenship structure’4 which envisages a new ‘probationary citizenship status’ the ultimate effect of this will be to delay both the acquisition of residential stability and full access to the welfare state for those who seek to naturalise through work based routes by a minimum of 1 year and a maximum of 3 years, and potentially in the case of other family members, by 5 years.5
