Hello Arthur,
I arrived here in the UK with my spouse visa on March 7, 2011. The earliest I can apply for ILR is on Feb 8, 2013. That's around almost 4 months away. Will i be eligible to apply for naturalisation one year after i get my ILR?
I went to the Philippines for a month vacation in Dec 2011 to Jan 2012 (30 days). I went back to Philippines to get my nanny for 20 days in March 2012. Then our family went to the Philippines for another vacation for 7 weeks from July to August 2012. A total of 99 days all in all from the time I got here on March 7, 2011. So i need to make sure, i won't exceed being away for more than 270 days right?
Hope to know where i stand and what i need to do. I want to have British citizenship to travel easier around the world. :-)
