If there's a British spouse then asap after ILR grant.

Otherwise, 12 months after ILR granted.

The period between Feb 2011 and 19 September 2012 will count against her as she was an overstayer based on what you have posted.

She will likely qualify for citizenship in 2022.

What was her immigration status between February 2011 when the visa expired and September 2012?

Any period of overstaying with no valid visa means she will fail to meet the good character requirement for citizenship.

sorry for the late reply. Her immigration status was 4th February 2011 till 31st May 2012 she was an overstayer. She then had a three month temporary admission which was given by the home office. On the 20th August the ILR was applied for which was granted on 19th September 2012. Please can you state whether she can apply for her nationality now or she has to wait till 2022. Many thanks

She will have to wait till 2022 as the period of overstay is extensive and she will likely fail the good character requirement.
