Applying for British Citizenship - 17 Yrs old Child ILR

Dear Sir/Madam,

My wife recently got a British passport. Me and my two children have got ILR on Nov 2024 through 5 year PBS dependent route. By going through the topics, I understand that we 3 (Me and my children) will be eligible to apply for British citizenship immediately now as my wife is a British citizen. One point to note is that my first child is 17yrs now and she will turn 18 next year Aug month.
- Is this right that before she turns 18, we will be able to apply for British citizenship immediately (acquired ILR now)?

Otherwise,

If she turns 18 next year August, then I will need to wait until Nov 2025 to complete one year in ILR before she apply for British Citizenship?

All can apply now.

If daughter turns 18 next August SHE would have to wait 12 months on ILR, NOT you.
She will be an adult then and applying in her own right.

You are all eligible to apply. Best to prioritise eldest daughter's application as it will become more expensive and she will have to take the tests once she turns 18.

thank you all for the updates. I am clear now.
