One of the IND rule is that you should not be out of the country for more then 90 days in LAST 12 MONTHS. In your case I would wait and apply next year.  Again this is not hard and fast rule so if you have a good reason to be out of the country they might accept your application and approve it. Call thier number at the Nationality division and ask for advice.  If you can contact a solicitor or Citizen Advisory Beureau in your area that will also help.

If you are applying on the 5 year basis make sure your total absence from the country is not more than 450 days total, this is reduced to 270 if you apply on three year (Marriage) basis.

Hope this helps

Hi

I think you are entitle to applay.

From 2 August to 5 November are 94 days (29+30+4). The first (2 August) and the last (5 November) are not count.

It is acceptable up to 100 days (read the guide for applicants, page 20).

Good luck, Lora

Dear All

Thanx for your valuable suggestions and just quick note.

I got my PR (family also) as a stright forward case (workpermit/same company/ still no job change). It just took 5mts for that.

I went to india on re-training for new project (expected 45 days) but suddenly my father hospitalised. So I went to native place to be with paretns subsequently could not able to complete training. after back to UK I completed here and got all certifications (total 3). does this real fact helps me to cover that.  as i can show these ones .

Regards

Rao

Like I mentioned before that 90 days rule is not hard and fast rule.  They can bend it and in your case I believe you have a valid reason.  Home office is not out to get anyone, they just don't want people to abuse condition. The reason they provide citizenship is for people to live in this country and contribute to the society. Make sure you do mention this in your cover letter.

I do suggest that you talk to Home Office and if you can to the Citizen Advisory Bureau.  try to get as much advice as you can.

When I applied for my nationalization, I was also unable to find any Photograph requirement.  I believe they look at your passport and with other document and approve it.

So far there is no requirement for it that I know of, so I wouldn't worry about it. Just make sure you check - and - recheck your application for all the other requirements and follow it thoroughly. If you can afford it use the Nationality Checking Service.  You will get your original documents returned to you same day when you apply and may be your application will be approved quickly. Nationality Checking Service will also be able to answer your questions on the spot, such as if you need a picture or not.

Good Luck
