Hey guys, me and my wife are in process of application for “naturalisation as a British Citizen”, I have questions about allowed absence and of the qualifying period:
Background:
1. I got ILR via Tier 2 General route.
2. My wife first entered in UK on 11 Jan 2016 on Tier 2 dependant visa.
3. Received ILR on 5 Aug 21
4. Total absence in last 5 years (counting back from 1/11/23) are 360 days, but if I consider total absences since she FIRST (11 Jan 2016) entered in UK comes to 550.
My questions are:
Q1 - Is she in breach of this condition - Are there any reasons why you cannot meet the requirements to become a British citizen (for example, you have had too many absences from the UK)?
Q2 - As per “If you are applying under section 6(1), you must have been in the UK exactly 5 years before your application was received. For example, if your application is received on 05/01/2022 you should have been physically present in the UK on 06/01/2017.” If I am applying on 11/11/2023, mean she should have been physically present on 11/11/2018. She was away from June 2018 till 2 Dec 2018, does it mean I should apply on or after 3 Dec 2023?
Thank you for your help.
