hi

posting on behalf of my friend who need urgent advise
his kids moved in last year from Pakistan with ILR on their passport
they are here for almost an year ( completing in next month)
one of his friends told him the kids have to be in the united kingdom for at least two years before they can apply for naturalization , as long as he was aware it was only 1 year

any help would be appreciated

thanks in advance

PS: Admin: please move this topic if already posted to right direction
