Qualifying period
Posted: Thu Aug 25, 2022 11:24 pm
Hi dear brothers and sisters,
I have a concern regarding my qualifying period for naturalisation.
-i have been in the uk for 12 years now (legally),married for 10 years(wife's a naturalised brit,since 2018).
-i was granted ILR 2 years ago on basis of long residence(not marriage).
I applied for naturalisation on the 23/08/22.
NOW my question: if my qualifying period is 3 years(my wife is a brit) then I am fine.
If my qualifying period is 5 years which mean I should have been physically present on the 23/08/2017 then on that day we were on holiday in Turkey with the kids,
Do you think that could be a huge problem?
Also I dont know why but I did a postal application rather than online,is there a big difference?they still haven't debited money from my account.
Thanx in advance
