Naturalization - Long absence in last year

Post by VickySpice » Tue Nov 18, 2014 8:36 pm

I have been away from UK from 5th Feb 2014 to 18th May 2014. ( i.e. for Total 104 days)
If I apply for naturalization on 25th Feb 2015, will my absence be count from 26th Feb 2014 to 25th Feb 2015. (82 days)

Is there any requirement that I need to be present in UK on 26th Feb 2014 ?

I am living in UK from 9 years and got my ILR in Apr 2013.

Thanks in Advance
Vicky

No, but make sure you were physically present in the UK exactly 5 years to the day (or 3 years if married to a BC) on the day that HO receives your application. So if HO receives your application on say, 28th Feb 2015, make sure you were present on this exact day 3/5 years ago.

If that is the case then it sounds like you are good to go. Good luck :)
