ILR to British Citizenship - questions

Post by Artur111 » Thu May 19, 2022 11:59 am

Hi respected Gurus and forum members.

My wife has received her ILR card on 10th of May 2022 and I’m looking into when she can apply for naturalisation.
She’s been in the UK since Jan 2017.
1) Am I right in my assumption she can apply straight after receiving her ILR?

2) In total she was absent from the UK 594 days, while the limit is 450 days in the last 5 years. More than half of those days are in relation to her fathers cancer medical treatment (he had two cancer cases) and surgeries (which she can provide paperwork for). She was the only child of her father. Is there any chance that any discretion will be applied to 150 days over limit? Is the period when you are taking care of your parent considered as discretion?

Thank you
Artur

Yes, as you are a British citizen.

Look at caseworker’s Naturalisation Guidance for discretion with absences relating to Section 6(2).
