Team,

I have a question in relation to time spent outside the UK. The scenario is as follows;
- ILR granted on 1st Jan 19
- After ILR Outside UK for 120 days ( Feb 19 to May 19)
- Including this 120 days total outside the UK stay for the last 5 years not more than 450days.

My understanding is, in order to satisfy the below condition, UK citizenship application can be submitted in March 2020 (instead of Jan 2020);
1) spent more than 450 days outside the UK during those 5 years
2) spent more than 90 days outside the UK in the last 12 months

Need help to get confirmation on my understanding of the above rules.

Thanks,
Mayur

So just to confirm, "You must not have had more than 90 days outside the UK in the 12-month period before making the application" rule applicable only on the date BC application is submitted
i.e. for scenarios when absences exceed 90 days from ILR date, then just by delaying BC application, the above criteria can be met, correct?
