Naturalisation

Hey Everyone,

Apologies for the long post.

I just recently got my ILR approved, and I’m now applying for naturalisation on September 10th as the spouse of a British citizen.

Here are my questions:

1.) Regarding the requirement of having to be physically present in the Uk three years ago on the day you apply. I was physically present in the Uk from September 10th 2022, but I left the Uk on September 13th 2022 for a really short trip and came back on September 15th.

Would this be a problem that I was physically present and I left the Uk three days letter? If so, would it be better to move my application forward to sometime after the 15th of September instead?

2.) There’s this question. “Have you made any previous UK immigration applications in the Uk or abroad?

Now, for this question, are they asking about all the times I’ve ever applied for a Uk visa? I’ve had two visitor visas in the past when I was younger, then I had a student visa from 2015-2018 and left the Uk, and then came back as a spouse from 2020 and I haven’t left since.

Thank you

Visitor visas not required - only visa that gave you limited and indefinite residency.
Thank you

Thank you for your detailed response!

Another question.

Regarding the referee form, I’ve sent the form to one of my referees to print out and sign, then scan and send it back to me to upload. I will attach the photo of myself after he’s sent it to me and I’ll upload everything together after I’m done with the application.

Is it ok to do it this way? This referee is an old friend of mine that I’ve known for many years.

Yes, it's ok to complete the referee form that way.
