Hi guys.

This question was probably already here but I couldn't find it so I will ask again.

I already have PR so now I have to wait for 1 year.
But....
My residency is issued 23.3.2015 so I technically can apply 23.3.2016
Problem is that 23.3.2011 I was for 8 months out of UK (study so all is OK and I returned 2.6.2011) so should I apply 23.3 or 2.6.2016?

Thank you for your help and advices :wink:

2.6.2016?
This one because one of the requirements for citizenship is that you must have been physically present in the UK on the same date exactly 5 years to the day that HO receives your application. If you were not present in the UK, your application will be refused and you will lose your fee.
