My question my wife and daughter who was born in 2012 joined me in the UK under family reunion scheme in 2015 for refugee .?so after we got the ILR can I register my daughter as a British citizenship or she needs to wait one year after ILR with us as well !

She can only apply for citizenship when either parent is also applying for citizenship. So yes, she has to wait.

It does also say when either parent is British or also applying and the other parent is already settled!
