Hi ,i have ILE settlement visa,i have been in the country now 4years and 10 months ,can i still apply for naturalisation as i have been reading the chapter 18 annex document where a certain amount of time can be waivered. I have also never travelled out since i came to the country . Thanks

The requirement to have been physically present in the UK exactly 5 years before the application is received by the HO can't be waived. Unless you can meet that somehow, you will need to wait for another two months.

Why the rush, why not wait two more months?
