hi,

I have been living in the UK for 4 years and I am married to a BC (he was born here). we have been married for just over 2 years. I will be getting ILR next month.

Am I correct in assuming that I can apply immediately for naturalisation, without having to hold ILR for one year?

Yes you can as long as you meet all the standard requirements.

thank you

do i have to wait for my BRP to arrive or can I apply for naturalisation with the letter I get from PEO confirming ILR?

ILR letter will be sufficient. If you're applying through the NCS they will confirm that they don't need to see the BRP

great!

Yes you can as long as you meet all the standard requirements.

are you referring to these criteria?

- lived in the UK for at least the 3 years before your application is received
- spent no more than 270 days outside the UK in those 3 years
- spent no more than 90 days outside the UK in the last 12 months
- not broken any immigration laws while in the UK
- 18 or over
- of sound mind/ good character
- knowledge of English and life
- have ILR

Yes.

I am in the boat with travelerzee being married to a british citizen. I will apply for ILR next month. I thought that I need to be on ILR for 12 months before I apply for B.C. But you are saying we can apply for bc immediately after ILR granted. I had a work permit before I was granted my spouse visa. So those time will be added to 3 year qualifying period??

I would be grateful if you clearified it.

Yes you can apply. All legal time in the UK qualifies.
