HI All,
I was wondering if you could please advise on my case. I’m spouse of British citizen and on september, I’m planning to apply for ILR via premium service in Croydon and



I was wondering if I can apply for citizenship through NCS on the following day without having my ILR BRP .

Would the Approval letter for ILR from Home office be enough ?

How long it takes to receive the ILR BRP ?

It takes 7-10 days to get the BRP, sometimes sooner.

The letter you get if successful with ILR does not state 'your application for ILR is approved', it only states about the BRP being sent out.

I would suggest you wait for your BRP and then apply for citizenship.
