Advice on naturalisation
Posted: Mon Jan 20, 2020 10:18 pm
Hi there,
I am applying for British Naturalisation as a EEU and have few questions for which I need some support. First of all, I entered for first time in the UK on 7 April 2014 and I was granted with the ILR on 25 January 2019.
1) As my ILR was granted before the completion of the 5 years, when would be the first day I can apply for Naturalisation considering that the first day that I arrived in the UK was on 7 April 2014? Can I apply on 25 Jan 2020 or do I have to wait until 7 April 2020?
2) I am applying with the 5 years route, the requirement states “spent no more than 270 days outside of the UK in the 3 year period, or 450 days in the 5 year period”, does this mean that if I apply for the 5 years, I could have been outside of the UK a max of 450 days no matter how many days each year (except the last year)? Does the 3 year rules (for British Partner) apply for my last 3 years or only applies the 5 years rule?
3) In 2015 I was travelling every week from Thursday to Mondays to Ireland and rest of the week in the UK. In average 4 days in the UK and 3/4 in Ireland. Could this affect my application even though I meet the residence requirements?
4) In total, I have more that 60 trips, however, the online form only allows me to enter 30 trips. How can I disclose the rest of the trips to Home Office? Does it matter the order you enter the trips? I started from the most recent trip to the oldest trip 5 years ago.
5) As EEA, I need to include letters from employers, educational establishments or other government departments, indicating your presence in the UK during the relevant 3- or 5-year period. Is it enough a letter from my employers stating that I was employed with them from X to Y?.
Thanks for your help!
