Absence and Residential status
Posted: Fri Apr 13, 2012 8:15 pm
Hi everybody, I did my best in researching but still uncertain.
Hope I dont get flamed.
Its pretty simple.
I came to the UK as a student in June Of 2008 and took a 3 week holiday,
done with my studies in 2010 and returned home the same time the visa ended, was at out of UK for a total of 170 days.
got married to ny BC spouse while at home, came back to UK on ILE( no restrictions) on December 2010.
So since I last came I havent left the UK for 16 months
It says I need to be in the country for 3 years as a resident to apply for BC as a spouse.
According to my situation can I apply for naturalisation even though I had no UK visa for the missing 170 days?
<< I just want to know if my absence of 170 days 'break' the 3 years residency, even though I was in UK soil for more than nearly 3 years as a student and more than a year as ILE holder>>
Please let me know for additional info.
Thank you very much for reading and helping me out.
