British Citizenship for spouse (ILR Route M)

Post by Ali022013 » Tue Apr 16, 2019 1:03 pm

My wife has received her ILR a few days ago. I read somewhere that spouses can apply for citizenship 3 years after their first entry to the country. I would like to know if she can apply for BC'ship straight after receiving ILR or does she have to wait one year on ILR?

Then yes, if she meets the 3 year residence requirement then she can apply now for citizenship.

Note that she must meet the physically present in the UK at the start of the 3 year residence period. This is mandatory.

She has been in the UK since 2013, apart from about 50 days that we went on holidays, but if we consider April 2017 the start of her 3 years residency then yes she was here. IF thats how it works!!!
