You should not have been absent more than 90 days in the final year and if absent for more than 180 days in the final year it will most certainly lead to your application being refused even if you apply for discretion.
Have in mind that for the year that you have been absent you must have been UK resident all the time.

In the last year should not have been absent for more than 90 days. In the last 5 years you should not have been absent for more than 450 days in total.
Anything above that and you would have to apply for discretion (as I did).

Dear all ,


Need your advice regarding my naturalisation,

Please note the following :

My husband and I first entered UK on 23rd December 2008,My husband as main applicant Under Tier 1 visa and I as dependant, ( please note my visa was Not spouse visa ) I registered and left the country and returned back to UK on 6th January 2011.Effectively I was here for 3 years and by January 2015 when My husband wants to apply for naturalisation it will be 4 years for me to be here continuously.

We both received our indefinite leave to remain on 12th December 2013.

My husband is going to apply for naturalisation on 12th December 2014,

There are 2 questions:

1. Would I be able to apply for naturalisation same time as my husband which would be 12th december 2014 under joint application or would I have to wait until its 5 years ? ( per home office official website on naturalisation guidance , If Im married to non british citizen I shall wait 5 years before applying for naturalisation)

2. If I wait for my husband to get his naturalisation which I would assume it would be by some time in march 2015 will I be able to apply then and use 3 years residency requirement as spouse of british citizen ? Would my husband classified as british citizen ?

Many thanks

1. If you have been resident for the last 5 years, had ILR for one year and haven't been absent in total for more than 450 days in the last 5 years and not more than 90 days in the last year than you can apply.
2. If you have been resident for the last 3 years and have ILR you can apply the same moment your husband becomes British citizen.

You are allowed to be absent for 450 days in total in the last 5 years and 90 days in the final year. Anything above that and you would have to apply for discretion.
You have to calculate how much traveling you will be doing but as things stand you can apply in May as you will be under 90 days in teh final year.

Form AN states:

I met the knowledge of language and life requirement to qualify for settlement on or after 28th October 2013;

So if your ILR is before that date, you need to provide KOLL proof.
