Processing times for these applications are up to 6 months, though typically 5 months.


They won't automatically send your passport back and you need to request it using this form: https://eforms.homeoffice.gov.uk/outreach/Return_of_Documents.ofml


They will take around 4 weeks to send your documents back


You can apply for British citizenship 12 months after your Permanent Residence Card is issued

The 1 year is actually between the date you established PR (I know this isn't the correct wording) and the date of application for citizenship. So if I submit evidence for PR based on Jan 2011-2016, and I get my card back by Jan 2017, I'd be able to apply for citizenship straight away. They record the date separately on the system. The question comes up periodically in this thread and the answer given is consistent. So choose your 5-year evidence period accordingly, if you want to apply more quickly.

While this is true by the strict reading of the law, I've found that some Home Office caseworkers are refusing applications anyway on the basis that the 12 months unrestricted residence has not been demonstrated by the PR document for the full 12 months. Very frustrating.

    • Naaah, it's rubbish - it would be a change of use so would need planning. https://www.planningdirect.co.uk/planningappeals/affordable-planning-applications/change-of-use/commercial-to-takeaway-change-of-use There's not enough footfall for a McDonalds, anyway, and they're quite picky about their sites 
    • So let's never do anything that might improve an area, because it will just be dragged down to the level of what's presently there? Is that what you are saying? I don't have the time or the inclination to do the research, but I'm pretty sure that I have read  that when people who had lived in a very run down area  were given  nice surroundings, they appreciated and looked after them.
