ILR outside the country

Post by singhsss » Thu Feb 02, 2023 12:08 pm

Hi All,

My wife she is on ILR and I am british citizen.
She stepped out the country on 24-02-2021 its almost 2 years...
before what date she has to be back in the country to avoid returning visa process? for e.g. if she back on 20th Feb then is it okay?

when can she apply for british citizenship once she is back.

Appreciate any help on this. thanks

when can she apply for british citizenship once she is back. Another 3 years from when she enters back. If she meets the residency requirements then. As she currently has no hope of meeting it as things currently stands.

Appreciate any help on this. thanks

Recommend you review the UKVI guidance for naturalisation (for absence limits see page 11):
https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... n-guidance
And for citizenship related queries post here:
