Hello, I would be obliged for some guidance.

a. We got our ILR on 20 Dec 2022. Are we eligible to submit our naturalisation application on 20 Dec 2023 or are we eligible to submit from 21 Dec 2023 onwards? I wouldn't really cut it that fine, but 21 Dec onwards is ok.

b. I assume the above will be the date of the application for purposes of calculating 5 year date to be in the UK?

c. Are we allowed to travel abroad while our application is being considered?Yes - it's not an immigration application

c. Are we allowed to travel abroad while our application is being considered?
