partner naturalization question

Hi Moderators
I have been reading this forum for last couple of months and it has been immensely helpful.

I will be applying for my ILR (LR) soon and I understand that after completing one year on ILR I can then apply for naturalization meaning I will be a BC.
My wife has completed about 8.5 years so far and will be applying for FLRM soon once I get my ILR. My question is after I get my naturalization;
1. can my wife directly apply for her naturalization while on FLRM? OR
2. does she need to complete 10 years and get ILR first and then
a) can she apply for naturalization immediately after her ILR is granted? OR
b) complete 1 year on ILR before she can apply for naturalization?

Thanks

She needs to get ILR first. If by that time you are a British citizen, she can apply for naturalisation as spouse of British national provided she meets all other conditions.
Read the guidance. Google nationality policy.
Whatever route you decide to take on ILR for ur spouse must be discussed on the ILR forum.
