Date of eligibility for UK Citizenship

[dhkong1]

Hello – I received my ILR not too long ago via a Tier 2 (General) visa route, and intend to work towards securing citizenship, which is one year from now. I am trying to understand out when exactly the one year will take place. Details below:

Key Dates
- 5 year anniversary for eligibility to apply for ILR - 22 July 2025
- Application for ILR - 27 Jun 2025 - I paid extra for priority processing
- ILR Biometric Appointment - 1 July 2025
- ILR Approval - 2 July 2025

According to my eVisa, I already have Settled Status, even though I have not reached my 5 year anniversary mark yet. I would therefore like to understand if I am eligible to apply for Citizenship on the 22nd July 2026, or 2 July 2026.

Thank you for your assistance,
Daniel
