Hi,

I have recently been granted ILR. I am married and my husband has been sent to the US on an assignment; he is likely to be there for quite a few months. We plan to travel frequently during this time to be with each other. I know I can spend upto 90 days in this last 12 month period.

1. Will the fact that my husband is abroad for most months and I am in the UK, work against me when I apply for naturalisation in early 2014? (he is non- British , non-EEA/EU).

2. What precautions can I take from now itself to build a strong application for naturalistion next year?

Any advice please, Thanks

1. No.
2. Don't be out the UK for more than 90 days in the 12 months preceding the application and make sure you will meet the other requirements here - http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/briti ... uirements/

Thanks for your reply.

He has gone there on a H1-b visa (US work permit) and his UK residence status is my dependent.

I know one has to prove that they intend to make UK their main home; hence my question. Any thoughts?
