Hi All

My current situations is as follow:

I have completed 10 yrs of my lawful residence in the UK (from 01st Oct 2008 to 01st Oct 2018) and have been married to a British citizen since 01st Feb 2014.

I was wondering what is the quickest route to get ILR and then naturalization.

If I apply via 10 years route, do I need to wait till 12 months after ILR ? or can apply for naturalisation straight after receiving ILR as I am married to a British citizen?

Thanks for your response Vinny, does it matter which route I get my ILR from? 10 years route or married to BC 5 yrs route?

If I decide to go through the Set(M) route for ILR, do I need to have completed 5 yrs of my dependent visa?

Yes, you need 5 years on a spouse visa.
