[ka06]

Dear members,

Am a British citizen and my partner recently got ILR. Below are absences from the UK.

15 Feb 2013 to 14 Feb 2014 -120 days
15 Feb 2014 to 14 Feb 2015 -57 days
15 Feb 2015 to 14 Feb 2016 -48 days
15 Feb 2016 to 14 Feb 2017 -365 days ( absent for the whole year)
15 Feb 2106 to 14 Feb 2018 -12 days

As you can see absences are more than 270 in last 3 years. Can my partner for Naturalisation on 15 Feb 2018?

Below guide on naturalization says absences between 300- 450 will be considered if at least 1 years residence, without substantial absences immediately prior to the beginning of the qualifying period.

Hi Ka06,

where did you saw 300-450 days, it shows below clause. In addition to 1yr residence rule there are other rules to meet, which caseworker might consider or not.. not sure..

300-540 for applications under section 6(2)

better to wait for seniors suggestions in this group.

You are wrong. Section 6(2) is a spouse of BC application based on 3 years residence with no more than 270 days absence. No requirement to hold ILR for 12 months if married to a British citizen.

I was referring the link what Ka06 provided, both of us talking about discretion options.. we both know about section 6(2) absence limit.
