An overview
The rules for British nationality vary depending on when and where you were born and whether your parents were married or unmarried at the time of your birth. These rules are complex simply due to the history of the UK and its former colonies. Most commonly used in the context of our client’s is naturalisation. We, however, have on occasion has to trace complex nationality circumstances. Most recently, examining the independence arrangement for three countries and then the handling of the UKVI of the mater in this modern time. We have also had to help clients understand that documentation and retaining this is important. Bottom line is, if your ancestor from which your claim is derived has already passed on, then you need their information in order to trace the claim. The problem is that the burden of proving the matter is yours and not that of the UKVI.
Back to naturalisation, in this instance, you will ned to show that you are of good character, not a minor, that you met the residence requirements and English requirements and best of all, that you met the residence requirements. Your documentary evidence will prove this. Once you have met the requirements you will be invited to attend a ceremony to receive your naturalisation certification.

Todays question was about domestic violence to partners of skilled workers. Sorry to say the Domestic Violence rule does not cover skilled workers. The rational probably is that the skilled work visa is a temporary visa allowing residence in exchange for work. The partner of permanent residents route is much different there is permanence in the equations and this allows for relief in situations where there is domestic abuse. My answer is regrettably, if you leave your marriage as a skilled worker for a domestic abuse reason, then unless you have an alternative reason to apply to remain in the UK - you should consider leaving to resume your life in the last country you lived in or otherwise your country of origin.
This is not as tricky as it sounds, what you need know first of all is whether you meet the financial requirement with demonstrable earning of £29.000 in the year of the application. Therefore if you have had more than one job, it can be the cumulative amount that count towards the relevant figure. The UKVI require evidence of the work you are undertaking such as contracts, pay remits, bank statements and other documents that show you are in genuine employment. It is open to them to make checks to verify information you choose to submit.
