spouse of British citizen - how soon can I apply for BC myself?

Post by ts7 » Sun Nov 18, 2018 3:25 pm

Hi, my husband will be attending his British Citizenship ceremony soon and I was wondering the following. I am his non-EEA spouse and have Permanent Residence (got my PR card too). I would like to apply for British Citizenship as soon as possible so I was wondering if I can apply as soon as my husband attends the citizenship ceremony? i.e. without having to wait for him to get his passport which can take a few weeks after the ceremony. Do you know if this is possible? Thank!

Yes, provided you meet all the standard spouse of BC requirements to apply based on 3 years residence.

Yes you can, providing you meet all the standard conditions, including permitted absence, KOLL and the good character requirement.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
