    How long before citizenship?

    My wife got her ILR way back in 2009 but did not satisfy the time requirement in the UK for citizenship due to trips home to nurse her mum. We actually moved over in 2012 ans she just came back in 2014 and again recently for a month to satisfy the 2 years out of the country requirement to keep her ILR. We will all be back by August ( the kids have UK passports). She spent three and a bit years here but missed the three year requirement by a few months. How long will she need to be back for this time before she can apply

    any help would be appreciated

    cheers

    Scott

    Hi

    According to the government website which can be found at

    https://www.gov.uk/becoming-a-britis...ritish-citizen

    2. If your spouse is a British citizen

    If you’re married to, or the civil partner of, a British citizen, you can apply for citizenship if:
    - you’re 18 or over
    - you’re of sound mind, eg you’re able to think and make decisions for yourself
    - you’re of good character, eg you don’t have a serious or recent criminal record
    - you’ve met the knowledge of English and life in the UK requirements
    - you’ve been granted indefinite leave to stay in the UK (this means there’s no specific date that you have to leave) or permanent residence if you’re an EEA national (and you have a permanent residence card or document that shows you have permanent residence)
    - you meet the residency requirement

    Unless your spouse or civil partner works abroad either for the UK government or for an organisation closely linked to government, you must usually also have:

    - lived in the UK for at least the 3 years before your application is received
    - spent no more than 270 days outside the UK in those 3 years
    - spent no more than 90 days outside the UK in the last 12 months
    - not broken any immigration laws while in the UK

    Hope this helps
