Absent for 105 days in last 12 months

[tedmosby]

Hello,
I am about to apply for naturalisation. Im a spouse of a British citizen. I think i meet all the requirements but one.

Im a frequent traveller (not on business) and my absences in the uk in the last 12 months come up to 105 days. I will be doing some more travelling and cant find a right moment to apply to make it less than 105.

I know i will have to ask for discretion and there is no way anyone can predict the caseworkers decision. However, i would like to ask if anyone here applied with a similar number of absences and could share if their application was approved or declined, please?
Thanks!

Assuming your total days are less than 270, you should be fine. 105 is not far from 90.

read my posts, I extensively looked into this
in short, it should be fine

Thanks for your answers!
Do i need to tick section 6.6 of the form and then provide an explanation in 6.7 for the additional 15 days? I don't really have any special circumstances to put in here.

6.6 􏰀 *I declare that, although I do not meet all of the statutory requirements for naturalisation, I believe® that, in view of the following special circumstances, the Home Secretary should treat me as fulfilling those requirements or waive the need in my case to fulfil them.
*Delete if not applicable
6.7 Special circumstances - which requirements do you think you fail to meet and what are the special circumstances? (continue on page 13 if necessary)

yes your case would be considered 'special circumstances' - as explained in the guidance, if you have been away for more than 90 days then you are considered as having 'special circumstances'

what you put in there is up to you ..
