eligibility for naturalization

Post by shanc » Wed Feb 11, 2009 2:49 pm

Folks,
i am a newbie to this forum, and want a help from the experts.

I have completed my 6 years stay in UK, got my ILR in Nov-2007. So it is 5 yrs + 1 yr(ILR)=6 yrs. I guess I am eligible for naturalisation.
I am exactly not very sure if the requirement says

"you have to be in the UK 5 years from the date the application is received by HO" or
"you have to be in the UK 6 years from the date the application is received by HO"

If it is 6 years, it goes back to Feb-2003, and I was outside the UK for holiday.But if it is 5 years it will be Feb-2004 and I will be Okay.

The guide to form AN says 5 years, but this website says 6 years:
http://www.workpermit.com/uk/naturalisation.htm

Please help me.
Lots of thanks
