British citizenship online form question

[The4Sands 67]

I appreciate that the purpose of this website is to help people emigrating to America (which we are), but I thought somebody here might be able to help with a British citizenship query because I looked at other immigration boards they were pretty much 0% helpful.

 

I'm the USC, I've lived in the UK for more than 10 years now and have had Indefinite Leave to Remain for 8 years.  I am currently applying for British citizenship because I would still like to have the option to come back here some day... down the line.  And I don't want to have to jump through all the crazy spouse visa hoops all over again if I don't have to.  

 

Anyways, I'm applying online (which is pretty good so far, really) but I've gotten to a question that has stumped me.  It asks, "Have you made any previous UK immigration applications in the UK." I have assumed the answer is yes, because I applied for a spouse visa to come here in the first place, and then applied for ILR to be able to stay.  But now I'm doubting myself.  Could they be asking if I've applied other than the current track I'm on, like work visas or a refugee visa or something (which I haven't)?  I don't' know.  You guys know what it's like, the immigration path makes perfectly sensible people think and do crazy things.  Anybody else who's applied for UK citizenship in the last few years have any insight?

Just passing through and I am nowhere connected to this but.... you can check this out at the 6'58" mark. She answered 'yes' to your question of previous applications bec she applied for ILR. Hope this helps.

 No experience because I was born British, BUT if I was filling this out I would take it literally as written. Yes you have made previous UK immigration applications.
