Hi all,
I’m filling the absences section on AN form and I’m giving details for 5 years.
problem is I’m married with bc but I’m trying to apply under 5 year route.
Period is 2019-2014
Between 20.12.2013 - 25-12-2015 I haven’t been out of the UK. As I was working and waiting my ilr.
Do I write a cover letter to explain my situation ? Or
just include the absences from 2013 ?
Any advise please ?

There is no such thing as 5 year route. The nationality laws says that if you are married to a British citizen, the qualifying period is 3 years otherwise it is 5 years. You simply need to fill the balances in the last 5 years in the online application

Hi Zumba,
Thank you for your advice,
Even I’m married with British citizen I can apply for naturalisation by my own right ( 5 year residency in UK )
I’ve been told by 3 immigration solicitors and British nationally service.
On the form it’s ask 3 year absences or 5 year absences .
My question was, I need to write my 5 year absences but which is 2019 - 2014. between 12/2013 - 12/2015 I was in UK all 2 years.
How can I put my 5 years absences on the from ?
Shall start from 2013 ?
Or star 2015 and write. Cover letter ?
Thank you

Enter any absences you had within the last 5 years. That is 2014-19

You don’t need to upload 60 pages, only photo page and pages with stamps on.
