1.5years out of UK after ILR apply for Naturalization

Post by diehardall1 » Fri Feb 26, 2016 5:35 pm

I have been out of UK for 1.5 years after ILR.

I have lived in the UK since 1995. Got ILR in April 2010. Left UK in dec 2012 and came back in June 2014.

I have been back to UK since June 2014 till date.

can I apply for British Citizenship now given that?

I have spent over 450 days outside the UK in the last 5 years
I have lived in the UK for at least 5 years.

thanks.

You should have hung onto your ILR.

450 days is the limit.
Some discretion may be applied - see the AN guidance booklet.
Limit is extended (subject to conditions) if you have lived in UK 7 or 8 years.

How many days have you been out in past 5 years?
- how many in last year before applying?
