I got my work permit NOV 08 and my wife came to UK on Jan 2010 on work permit depandant visa.In May 2010 i have switched to TIER 1 General and my wife PBS Dependant visa. Now we both on ILR since Nov 2013.

My question is can we both apply for naturalization together in Nov 14?

Your wife can only apply in January 2015 after 5 years residence or if you apply in November 2014, once you receive approval and attend the ceremony, she can apply as spouse of BC on the basis of 3 years residency.

Thank for your reply CR001

Which means it would be better if we apply together in Jan 2015 and save money, because i heard joint application is a cheaper option. plz advise thanks

Yes it is a bit cheaper to do a joint application.
