Apply for Naturalisation

Hello

I'm applying for Naturalisation, I have received my ILR on (5 year route tier 2 dependant ) Jan 19th 2021.
My husband is a British citizen since from October 2018.

While filling the details on the application form, for the below requirement I got confused as I haven't completed 3 years in UK as a wife of British citizen (as my husband got his citizenship on 2018)
But at the same time the requirement for Naturalisation says ' you need not to wait for 1 year after the ILR if you're partner of British citizen''

Please advice whether I'm qualified to apply or do I need to wait for 1 year to apply for Naturalisation ?

If you are the husband, wife, or civil partner of a British citizen, you must have been in the UK for the last 3 years. If you are not the husband, wife, or civil partner of a British citizen, you must have been in the UK for the last 5 years. This is called your ‘qualifying period’.

You must have been in the UK on the first day of your 3-year or 5-year qualifying period
You must not have spent more than 270 days outside the UK during a 3-year qualifying period, or 450 days during a 5-year qualifying period
You must not have been outside the UK for more than 90 days in the last 12 months
You must not have been here illegally in the 3-year or 5-year qualifying period

Do you meet these residence requirements?


Thanks

You qualify as you are married to a BC.

Residence in UK for 3 years you need. You must be physically present in UK at the start of the qualifying period. Not more than 270 days in last 3 years and not more than 90 days in last 1 year outside UK.

The requirment is simply and ONLY to be married to a British citizen when you apply as soon as you get ilr.

The application is based on the last three years and you need to meet the 3 years residence, absence and physically present at the start equirements.

There is NO requirment that you just have been married to a British citizen for 3 years. You are mis-reading the text.
