Hi,

I do apologise, if this question is asked before.

My husband and kids are going to apply for citizenship next week. My husband got his ILR after 10 year long residency last year. I got my two year transition visa as I was dependent on him. I am here in UK from last 8 years now.
My questions are:
1. Can I apply for citizenship with my husband next week as I am in Uk more than five years now.
2. Or should I wait for my husband to get citizenship and then apply for mine as spouse of british citizen.

thanks for any help.

Do you have settled status (ILR)?

What "transition visa" are you referring to, as there is no such visa? What was your husband's immigration status before he was granted settlement (e.g. - Tier 4 / Tier 2 / Tier 1 etc.)?


regards

Thanks for your quick response.
my husband was on HSMP before applying for ILR (It was 8 years student and 2 years HSMP).
I was on HSMP dependent, then my husband got his ILR (on september 2009) and I got temporary permission to stay in the UK (using application form FLR(M)). This is 2 years visa. I don't have ILR.
