Congratulations on receiving the ILR

You really should ask UKVI about your eligibility for Naturalisation. It's only UKVI who can allow exceptions outside of statutory requirement.

Ah ... about exceptional circumstances, Peter! ... seems our respective posts crossed in transit.

Thank you Terpe! been reading Booklet AN and thought that while i have spent 166 days out of UK for the last 3 years (270 days allowed), obviously I have exceeded the 90 days allowed being away for the last 12 months before the application (i spent 108 days to be exact). however, they do disregard the excess absences but only up to 100 days which i failed to meet again. having said that, they still give leeway for up to 101-179 days excess only if i meet their requirements which is as follows:


Total number of absences normally disregarded only if all
other requirements are met and:
a) you have demonstrated links with the UK through presence of
family, and established home and a substantial part of your
estate.
101 – 179 days[/B]

i've no more family here definitely but i still have the house so i don't know if i will qualify
