Just out of curiosity once one has got ILR, how long does it take to get British Citizenship? What are the requirements? are they the same as ILR's ones?

Pls advise

It depends on what ground you are getting naturalised on. Did you get there through the family route, the work route, long residence?

I think you will have to have been in the country three years prior to applying for citizenship. If you were in the uk on a different visa three years ago then you can proceed to naturalisation. Otherwise you will have to spend one year on ILR.
