AN1 and BP applying- please clarify If i can

Post by samkumar2018 » Sun Apr 22, 2018 7:10 pm

Dear members,
Many thanks in advance for the valuable time and replies.
I have a query and great if you can sort it out.
I am in ILR granted last year Sept 2017 and I am planning for naturalisation and passport this septerber 2018 ( in 4 months time from now) and I am ensuring that I am not out of country in the last one year for more than 90 days ..But my querry is :

A- 5 years back from this sep'18 which is sept 13- I am not in this country , on personal compelling reasons I was out from september till Jan end /feb 2014 ánd back by Feb/mar 2014 only ..
The application guidance says, that I should be physically present in the country , counting back 5 years from application date..so in that case am i not be able to apply AN1 and BP by this september , but only by next year 2019 Feb etc I need to apply ?

B. In the last 5 years , i was out of Uk for close to 250 days or so ..hope this is not an issue and meets the requirements ..

Thankfull for your replies


Sam

You have to be physically present in the Uk 5 yrs bf your application. There is no discretion for this requirement. It is best you wait till February.
