Hafeez Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 HI Fida thank you for your reply i tried checking the website if i put Lawful resident date as 10/4/2014 when i made my first entry for 2 weeks, i am able to apply in May 2018 but if i put 17/8/2014 as lawful resident date which is the date i moved in permanently, i have to wait till 17/8/2018 so i don't know which one is the lawful resident date i tried calling the citizenship dept number and waiting for the past 4 hrs no one is answering any suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
