British citizenship application pending

Post by bunsss » Tue Apr 11, 2023 12:19 pm

Dear all,
I arrived in the UK to join my parents who are British on 7 Sep 2020 and applied for my ILR/settlement on 13 Sep 2020 shortly before my 18th birthday on 2 Oct 2020. My birth mom isn't British and I was born in Nigeria. I received my ILR and BRP in June 2022. I passed the LITUK test and English exam in July 2022. I was just wondering when it will be ideal for me to apply for naturalization/citizenship.

Best wishes,
Bunsss

As you are an adult over 18, you need 5 years residence, counting from rhe date you Entered the uk.

Note that rhe English test is only valid for 2 years, so you will likely have to do rhe English test again before you can apply for citizenship in 7th September 2025.
