This may or may not be applicable to the naturalisation process, so don't take this as firm advice. When I applied for ILR, there was a similar limit (180 days over 5 years), and I was well over it. Part of the reason was that we have a fairly generous leave allocation at work, we have a benefit that allows us to buy more days leave, we get an extra day of annual leave for every year completed service, so it adds up to more than 180 days over three years.khani wrote:Hi thanks for reply, but I read in ukba guidelines that upto 100 days could be disregarded by case worker , has anyone know about this ?? has anyone been refused for more than 90 days out in last 12 months ?? thanks
To add to that, I was working volunteering for holiday and weekend shifts, in return for days off when ever I choose, saving these up and taking them a week at a time, sometimes adding to annual leave. I spend all of my free time travelling, so almost all of it is spent abroad. Furthermore, I have been abroad for work a number of times.
So what I did was make a list of my annual leave per year, list the days free I got in return for shift work, and list the work trips I was on, and ask my HR department to put that in a letter and state that the days I was away are inline with the days I legitimately had off or were on work business. This was enough for the case worker.
From what I understand, they want to make sure that you don't actually live anywhere else. Since I had hoarded all my flight booking and hotel booking confirmations over the year, I could show that I didn't live anywhere else.
