British Citizenship application - 450 days rule and Study Abroad
Posted: Sat Jan 18, 2020 9:30 pm
In few weeks time, it will be 12 months since I obtained my settled status under the EU settlement scheme.
Therefore, I am planning to make an application for British Citizenship but have been outside the UK for 470 days in the last 5 years, which is more than the allowed 450 days. However, 300 days of those 470 days I spent on my compulsory Erasmus year abroad as part of my degree at a UK university.
So my question is - would Home Office consider not including those "year abroad" days if I provide all the evidence of that Erasmus exchange and explain that it was part of my degree?
Thank you for your time!
