Naturalisation after ILR

[hasbiyah]

Good Morning to you all!
I had my ILR in 2018 via 3 * 2 discretionary leave.
My first DLR was granted May 2012,
Second DLR August 2015
ILR July 2018.
I will like to know if I can apply for naturalisation now or when can I apply

I really do appreciate all your support.

What is your full immigration history, specifically before you were granted DLR?

[hasbiyah]

Thank you for your quick response.
I was granted DLR on article 8 private and family life. Leaving here illegally for 6 years. I applied just after the birth of my daughter and the application took 3 years as I was refused twice, went to court once. It was eventually granted through a reconsideration.

Thank you for your time and help.

Thank you so much for your message. The wait is too long. 20month to go.

Thank you so much for your message. The wait is too long. 20month to go.

If they refuse, you do lose the entire naturalisation fee, except £80 (the citizenship ceremony fee). That is almost £1250 lost.

So weigh losing that amount vs waiting 20 months.
