90 days rule

Hello!

I have just received my ILR BRP (SET(M)) and because I am on spouse route I technically could apply for naturalisation now but I am not meeting the 90 days rule right now.

I have also read somewhere that if there is a 180 days absence in any 12 months period, this might be a problem?

If I share my absence history, could you kindly let me know if there is an issue?

Please kindly reconfirm if first and last days are not to be counted?

01.07.2020 - 09.08.2020 - 38 days
05.09.2020 - 08.09.2020 - 2 days
12.12.2021 - 02.04.2022 - 110 days - (I was on maternity leave)
29.06.2022 - 11.09.2022 - 73 days - (again on maternity leave)
01.02.2023 - 13.02.2022 - 11 days
14.02.2023 - 17.02.2023 - 2 days
20.03.2023 - 04.04.2023 - 14 days

Total of 250 days in 3 years and 100 days in 12 month.

In 2022 I basically passed 180 days in 12 months period. Is that a problem?

If I apply on August 10th (I am considering this day because the rule says that I had to be in the UK on that day 3 years ago) will that be ok? I am asking because last summer I was away and not sure how will they calculate that?

Thank you so much for your continued help!

Hello!

Has anyone applied with more than 90 days absence in the last 12 months?

I have been away exactly 100 days in the past 12 months. I know the rule says that absences up until 100 days will be disregarded but do you have an experience with that?

Do I need to provide an explanation or a cover letter?

Thank you!

Are you including the days of departure in the UK and/or the days you arrived back? If so, these aren't counted as absence days.

No, I have not included first and last days (travel days). It’s 100 actual days away

To be safe, wait till 12.09.2023. Less than 3 months away.
