I will have 96 days of absences in the last 12 months at the point of applying for UK citizenship, and I know that absences of up to 100 days are “normally disregarded”. With that in mind, how should I answer these questions?
- Do you meet these residence requirements?
- Are there any reasons why you cannot meet the requirements to become a British citizen (for example, you have had too many absences from the UK)?
- If you do not meet the statutory requirements to become a British citizen, are there any special circumstances why you think the Home Secretary should still grant your application?
