Good day,

I tried searching in this forum but couldn't find an appropriate response so starting a new thread.

I submitted the naturalisation application of my spouse on 25 Dec but we have not completed the biometrics yet due to personal reasons (we have time till 24 Feb to submit biometrics). I realised today that at the time of application submission, my spouse had spent more than 90 days outside of the UK in the last year.

I'm now looking to withdraw the application, get a refund of the fee and apply again. Searching online, I found the following form - Link. However, this is for the return of documents.

How can I withdraw the application and will there be any repercussions?

Thank you.

How many days over 90 is she?

10 days. The total count is 100 days. However, after 15 Jan, it becomes 89 days so as so at this point, she can apply without any issues.

If she respects all other requirements, up to 100 days of absence in the 12 months preceding the application are normally disregarded https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... bookmark11

This is brilliant! Thank you so much. We will go ahead with the biometric appointment then.
