Dear all,
My friend moved out of the UK 2 yrs ago to live in Australia with her Australian boyfriend. Since then they have been married there. She just got her naturalisation immediately prior to their departure. Her concern now is this:

someone told her that if she did not come back to UK after two years she might lose her citizenship.

could this be true? (I strongly oppose as Ive not heard of this!) I know there is that limitation if you have Indefinite Leave to Remain. But I shouldnt think there's restriction like this after naturalisation?

Thanks for help!

Dear Sir,

I would like to confirm that citizenship cannot be lost because of absences from the country granting it.
