Thank you amber.kishor_mit wrote:Hi All,
My spouse and I are due for Naturalisation. I'm within the limit of absence period but my wife has an absence period of 486 days in the last 5 years, out of which 236 days (approx. 8 months) are for maternity reasons.
In both cases the absence days include departure and arrival days (that is how I calculated during my ILR application). For my spouse, even if both days are excluded it becomes 476 days!!
As per the main rule, both are physically present on the date of application 5 years ago.
Please advise whether I can apply for my spouse thinking that maternity absence is acceptable under discretion. If that’s feasible I can apply for my kid (born in India) too along with us. Otherwise I will have to wait until my citizenship is done to apply for both of them!!
Also please advise - should I continue to include both departure and arrival dates in my absence period in my Naturalisation application to keep in sync with the details provided in my ILR application? I’m bit nervous that I didn’t calculate right at the first instance…
Thank you so much for your advice.
Kind Regards

A UKNARIC statement of comparability would also be required re the degree.
