The future intentions requirement

[chi_chi_chi]

Dear Immigration Board community members,

My question is about the future intentions requirement, as part of BC application process.

I've been in the UK for 7 years (in that order): one year - Tier 4, five years - Tier 2, almost one year - ILR. In September 2017, I plan to apply for BC (once I hold ILR for 1 year). I am fully compliant with all the requirements, i.e. being a good character, have knowledge of English and life in the UK, met residency requirement and didn't break any immigration laws etc. My case should be straightforward.

However, in August I am starting 2 years MBA program in the US (in one of the world's top business schools). I was planning to fly to London from the US to apply for BC and then fly again to submit biometrics. Flights are reasonably cheap so that is not a problem. After MBA I plan to return to the UK.

Before going to the US, I will be quitting my job in London. Also, I have no property in London as I was renting all the time. How can I possibly meet future intentions requirement and demonstrate that I will continue living in the UK after MBA?

The spirit of the requirement is that you will continue to make the UK the center and base of your life. It sounds like that is your intention.

that is exactly my question - how can I prove my intention? Do I need to prove it?

You simply state on the form that you intend to make UK your home.
