-: but also :-I will have to work in the USA for few years (minimum 7-8 years)
Which is correct?I wont be living in the UK for 12 months after receiving ILR.
You cannot spend more than 90 days outside UK in the one year preceding the naturalisation application, so you'll have to schedule your departure to US accordingly, after you are granted settlement.desiworld wrote:The question is I want to apply for British Citizenship after 12 months of receiving my ILR. But due to my nature of work, I am been transfered to USA in May 2011 and I will be in USA (with some visits to UK) for next 7-8 years.

But you are also making assumptions about distant future.
You are also taking BIG leap of faith in your current employer - you assume you will be working for them in US for the next 7-8 years. This is a long shot in my view. As you are probably on 3 months notice, have you considered what if...? (could be plenty "what ifs" to consider).
For me you are at the point when you have to decide what do you really want - stay here and apply for BC (which could be refused - you don't have any convictions for traffic offences whilst driving on foreign licence, do you?) or you can go to US. You probably can't have both.
In 7-8 years geopolitical situation could be different so maybe your current nationality will be better for you? Or staying in US and naturalise over there?
