Hi

I obtained my ILR in Nov 12. My wife is on Tier 1 visa since 4 years and her ILR is due in Apr 2014. I am planning to apply for British citizenship this Dec.

Can you please advise a best route for us to apply citizenship together?

Many Thanks
Ajith

To apply together your wife would have to wait 12 months on ilr. Although they may be discretion for the caseworker to accept it joint before this it's not guaranteed. However, the quickest route would be you apply and become a bc before your wife gets ILR and then your wife can apply for naturalisation as soon as she's granted ILR providing she meets other eligibility.
