My wife was issued a spouse visa on 5 year route.

Spouse visa issue date: 26-03-2017
First BRP Card Issue date: 26-03-2017
Arrival Date into the UK: 20-04-2017

After we had to do visa extension and she received another BRP Card which is Valid until: 20-08-2022

My question is when we can apply for her ILR please??? What date onward I can submit her application... I understand it's 28 days before but I can't work out really how it works as I don't want to mess up..

Also when she can apply for her British citizenship?? Do we have to provide 5 years document evidence of cohebition s as well for citizenship application???

She can apply no sooner than within 28 days before the 5th anniversary of the date she entered the UK, ie 20/4/2022 minus 28 days.

As soon as she has ilr BRP card provided she meets the requirements. Cohabitation is NOT required for citizenship.

Please ask any citizenship question in the correct sub forum and not in the ILR sub forum.
