Congratulations! It sounds like your next step will be naturalisation. Answering your questions in a slightly different order:naav wrote:Hi everyone
My wife just got her ILR. Thank you!
1. My wife's passport expires in around two years time. Do we have to get a new ILR?
2. She'll have been in the UK, three years, with no absences, in around two weeks time.
(i) Does she need a new ESOL with Citizenship certificate or will the one we used for her ILR do?
(ii) Are there any other conditions or tests applicable for naturalistation?
3. When can she apply for a British passport?
Thank you
No problem then. Just make sure that you apply on a day in Oct 2008 (or after) that corresponds to a day in Oct 2005 when she was already here. Ex: if she came here on 15 Oct 2005, apply for naturalisation on 15 Oct 2008 or after.naav wrote:My wife entered the UK, for the first time, in October 2005 on a two year spouse visa, then FLR and now ILR. She hasn't been out of the country since then.Where was she in October 2005?
Sorry, just to clarify: can the ESOL certificate and 'letter from college' docuements USED for ILR be RE-USED for Naturalisation i.e. one doesn't need to go and do another programme of study and GO UP another ESOL level? The condition for ILR is to go up another ESOL level so I'm wondering if one needs to do likewise for Naturalisation or can one used these SAME documents (the ESOL certificate and 'letter from college' used for ILR) for Naturalisation too?The ESOL 'certificate' (or letter from the college) is sufficient for BC application.
