Hi all,
I'm hoping someone can clarify a query for me.
I'm about to book an appointment today at NCS but am confused about the residence requirement. I travelled frequently for work and was not physically present in the UK at particular dates. However I do meet the required 5 year rule etc. as have ILR from Oct-2012.
My confusion comes from the statement below.
Guide AN states: "Please note: You should also check that you were physically present in the UK 5 years (3 years if you are married to or in civil partnership with a British citizen) before the date that the application will be received by the Home Office or other receiving authority (see page 17 “Where to send your application form”)."
For example, if I have appointment at NCS on 13 Jan 2014 and UKBA receives application on 14 Jan 2014. However, I was out of UK for work between 11-16 Jan 2009. Does this mean I should not apply as I was not 'physically' present in the UK?
Thanks in advance...
