Hi I would like to know how to write a discretion, I'm about to apply for my naturalisation and on my last 12 months period I've been out for 108 days, should I ask for a discretion. And how do I write one ? I do qualify for all of the other critiriamilan69 wrote:You have to make sure that you have been a resident in the UK for the last 5 years because your application will most certainly be refused if you were not.
If absent for more than 450 days in the last 5 years you will have to apply for discretion but it is not 100% certain that the outcome will be positive. Having said that, I was out for more than 100 days in my final year, I applied for discretion and got my approval within 8 weeks.
