Amber can tell you better but as far as I know absence is absence and not "professional/personal". Also I think its then purely the choice of Case Worker to give discretion on leaves.ILR2013VA wrote:Hi Amber,
Many thanks for your reply.
Yes, I referred this PDF already, but I didn't see work related absences in final year.
I would like to know if my situation has chances for approval or not,. Can you please advice?
It is just to have experts guidance
Thanks
Babu
5.1.2 Total absences of more than 100 days but not more than 180
days where the residence requirements over the full 5(3) year
qualifying period are met - consider disregarding if applicants
have demonstrated links through the presence here of family,
an established home and a substantial part of their estate.
5.1.3 Total absences of more than 100 days but not more than 180
days where the residence requirements over the full 5(3) year
qualifying period are not met - consider disregarding only if:
a. applicants have demonstrated that they have made this
country their home by establishing home, family and a
substantial part of their estate here; and
b. the absence is justified by Crown service (but see also - 10 -
paragraph 9.4 and Annex B(i) below if the applicant
is/was in the Armed Forces) or by compelling
occupational or compassionate reasons, taking account
of the examples at b, c. and d. in paragraph 4.1.2
above.
4.1.2
c. the excess absences to have been an unavoidable
consequence of the nature of a career (for example a
merchant seaman or someone in UK-based business or
employment which requires frequent travel abroad); or
d. exceptionally compelling reasons of an occupational or
compassionate nature to justify naturalisation now,
including, for example, because the applicant has a firm
offer of a job for which British citizenship is a statutory or
professional requirement.
"I wish to state that I have made the UK my home together with my family - my wife and 16 year old son who are both British citizens and live in the United Kingdom. With my family, I live in a rented house which is in my name. In addition, I have a large part of my estate in the United Kingdom. In the past few months, due to the nature of my work, I had to spend several weeks working abroad and therefore I am requesting for discretion to be applied with regard to the requirement to have not been absent from the country for more than 90 days in the final year."
