Hi everbody,
Thanks for your advice on complicated immigration matters

I have an enquery about when to apply for Naturalization.

One of my friends wants to apply for Naturalization. he has been given ILR November 2012.

His life story in the uk as follows.

He came to Uk on a working holiday maker visa on August 2008.(2 years).

He married to a british citizen on june 2010 and given 2 years spouse visa on July 2010.

He applied for ILR on july 2012 and given ILR on Nov this year.

His Query is when can he apply for Naturalization?

Does he have to wait for 1 year or he can apply now?

plese let him know.

Thanks again

Hi Jambo,
Thank you for the link. i read the requirements section
before posting the thread.
From the requirement section, I can see that my friend meet the 3 years residential requirement but he spent 2 years a working holiday maker and 2.5 year as a spouse of a british citizen.

This is why I am a bit confused.

please have a look at my topic and make me clear if you dont mind.

Thank you again
