2. how many days i can spend out side of the UK during this year and still be abele to apply next may(2011)? and is it going to delay the date of the application ?

3. last and most tricky one for me , my wife(witch is British i am NOT) have some family issues and will need to stay out side of the UK probably most of the year we will still stay marred and be in touch as much as we can . but is this issue can affect my application ?

You will have to apply for Naturalisation first and after becoming British Citizen then you can apply for Passport.

According to the current rules:

1. No you dont need to show that you are working.

2. 90 days in the last 12 months before applying for Naturalisation.

3. Not sure about your 3rd question but I GUESS it wont effect your application, but for Naturalisation you will have to show that your marriage is existing and you will have to send your wife's passport, proof of marriage, along with your passport and application form.


by the way on what date did you arrive in the UK. Very first time?

I first came to the UK on a spouse (settlement)visa on the 22nd of July,2008 so how should I calculate it?

Do you think there's another resource I could check regarding my 3rd question?

Thanks a lot,

Mike
