While the relevant section is about the oath, you can see what the Nationality Instructions suggest about an absence of six months or more during the naturalisation process.Section 6.11.22.6, Chapter 6 of the Nationality Instructions wrote:We should normally agree to extend the deadline where:
• the applicant is temporarily abroad (Nb. If this is a naturalisation case under s.6(1) of the BNA 1981, any absence of 6 months or longer may affect the applicants ability to meet the future intentions requirement and the case should be referred to a Senior Caseworker)
...
6.11.22.12 CCST will not transfer naturalisation claims under s.6(1) as this will cast doubts about whether their future intentions lie in the UK. If a s.6(1) applicant states that they will be abroad for more than 6 months, CCST will refer the case to the appropriate Senior Caseworker to check whether the applicant satisfies the future intentions requirement.
Although note that if the wife is traveling back to the U.K. in this time period (to see family, etc.) then it's not a six month absence, but a series of 2-3 month absences. I think it's already clear they are not going to ask for an overseas ceremony so that removes an additional complication.secret.simon wrote: While the relevant section is about the oath, you can see what the Nationality Instructions suggest about an absence of six months or more during the naturalisation process.
