You could apply on the 6th July 2013 onwards but not during your absences as you need to be physically present 5 years before you apply as well as meeting the other http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/briti ... uirements/ standard requirements.

I assume your spouse is settled (has ILR?) She could apply at the same time as you (joint) but her application would be subject to the discretion of the caseworker as at the time she was not the spouse of a BC.

If not she could apply immediately after you are naturalised providing, she is settled, has been resident in the UK for 3 years (and was physically present in the UK 3 years prior to the HO receiving her application). As well as meeting the other http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/briti ... ofcitizen/ requirements for a spouse of a BC.

Yes if your children are under 18 that is the correct form. The documents that are required are stipulated on the forms. The absences should not be an issue as they are before the 3 year period. Unless you wait until the 5 year point and apply together then the absences should be ok as there is scope for discretion.

For absences see http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/briti ... cesfromuk/ here.
