3 years route after getting ILR but absent from UK 3 years ago on the date of citizenship application

Post by Khurram19899 » Tue Apr 09, 2019 9:23 pm

I've been in uk on student visa for 4 years and after
I got married 5 years ago to British national.so I've been in uk 9 years in total.
Recently I've got my ILR (once got refused as I applied a month early due to confused with bloody application dates and lost £3000)

Yesterday I applied for my citizenship online and paid £1300 and just realised I was absent yesterday 3 years ago for a week.

I'm worry that I'll b refused due to not in the UK physical yesterday 3 years ago.

I've been absent 4 times from UK in 9 years but no more than 2 weeks in each time

I've very strong ties with UK though.

I've got a house on mortgage , full time permanant job, a dog, my brother and his kids as well as all my english family from my wife side.

My appointment is in couple of weeks with sopera steria.

Plz advice me what I can do now so I don't get refused even if there is a way to add something now or to withdraw my application without losing money and resubmitting New one . Already lost £3000 on my ILR application before ??? Thanks

You do not need to panic, hopefully your application is treated by someone who could give you an option of changing the date other than that I am afraid you could be refused as that is one of the most common reasons applications for citizenship by naturalisation are turned down. Fingers crossed for you, goodluck.
