Dear sir/madam,

My name is Ali
I am Approximately 14 years and 5 months
I have an enquiry if you could answer please. I arrived to the UK on 18/09/2010 on a Tier 1 post study child visa,(dependant visa). In 2011 my father was granted Tier 1 general visa therefore I was also granted a Tier 1 general dependant child visa.

We were granted ILR in 20/04/2016 alongside my father.

We granted ILR because there was no such question in the application form about absences when we applied alongside my father it was only questions on him about absences from the UK.


However I was away from Uk since 11/4/2013 to 4/11/2015.
2 years 6 months 24 days. (Total days 937).

The reason when we were away to Pakistan was because my Grandmother was severely ill so we went there to look after her along with my mother however my father was in the Uk.

We also went on holiday to Pakistan from 12 July 2017 to 16 September 2017.

In toltal we were away on holiday for 66 Days.

My father was granted a British citizenship on 15 Aug 2019. And my mother was granted ILR on 03/02/2020.


Am I eligible for naturalisation, (I’m a bit worried about the absence from the uk and I have seen on home office website that there are different rules which makes me a bit confused about the rules I have to follow to be granted naturalisation).
I am sending you a link which explains British citizenship for children

Absence is not an issue.
