Difference in the qualifying period
Posted: Fri Nov 16, 2018 8:00 pm
Dear members,
The qualifying period for ILR:
" the applicant has been absent from the UK for a period of 180 days or less in any of the five consecutive 12 month periods preceding the date of the application "
The qualifying period for Naturalisation:
1- "you should not have been outside the UK for more than 450 days in the 5- year qualifying period."
2-" To satisfy the residency requirement you should not have been absent for more than 90 days in the last 12 months- After ILR ".
If someone got ILR and he does not want to get Naturalisation in the year after ILR, and he wants to apply three years after getting ILR, and he wants to travel outside the UK more than 180 days (190 days exactly) in the two years after ILR, but he can meet the 450 days in the 5 years when he wants to apply for Naturalisation (he can meet 90 days in the third year after ILR), the absence details as below:
The two years before ILR: 0 days absence
The two years after ILR: 380 days absence
The third year after ILR: 70 days absence
Total= 450 days
Does he meet the required period for naturalisation?
Thanks
