thanks Darren. My friend just got her ILR last Nov and yesterday at work she said she is going to apply for Brit citizen this Feb after her holiday to Phils. I haven't seen the letter from HO that they gave to her but she said that's what it says there I said to her you have to ring the HO and ask about it before applying or else you just waste the money...but it seems she is convinced that she is eligible already base on that letter from HO. I'll ask her for a copy so I can post it here bec even me I don't understand much what on BIA website most of the time.
