Absences - 180 days and 450 days
Posted: Mon Nov 24, 2014 1:55 pm
Hi guys,
First of all, thank you to anyone who can help me.
I have been in UK for just over 5 years now, arrived in September 2009 as a student, now I work full time and applying for Naturalization. I have the following question - During the first year of study I was in and out of the country more often. I don't have absences more than 450 days over the 5 year period but during 2009-2010 I have more than 180 for sure. Do I still qualify so I can apply now or should I wait until next September when I came back for year 2 of uni (after that long absence in year one, I have't been away for as long).
Also, I don't remember the exact dates of travel, what kind of evidence (if any) I need to provide along with my application?
Please advise.
Thank you and Kind Regards,
Gergana
