Hello,
Please can someone advise if it is possible for someone on FLRM to count their 5 years qualifying time from BRP issue date if they entered UK within 90days? Any leeway?
I noticed the dependents of the other routes to ILR status have the opportunity to count from a date that benefits their application.
I ask because my upcoming ILR application date will make my naturalisation application date to be pushed back by almost 6 months due to the rule that I must be present in UK at the beginning of the 3 years qualifying period and mine falls within a long absent period.
Please see the key dates below:
BRP issue date: 03 October 2017
Date of entry into UK : 19th October 2017
Travelled to my home country: 18th september 2019 while on maternity leave, stayed longer due to PPD symptoms
Came back to the UK: 26th Feb 2020.
Due date for ILR based on 28days before the end of 5 years after I entered UK: 22nd Sept 2022.
I would be able to apply for naturalisation immediately if I can apply for ILR sooner than 22nd Sept 2022( Priority service)
Please advise and refer to guidance.
Many thanks
