Hi All,
I need your advice and suggestion on the above topic
I came to UK in Jan 2011 as dependent.
got My ILR on Jul 2013.
My spouse is not a British( Has a ILR status )
Can I apply for my British Citizenship with the old rule((before Jun 2013) which is 2 +1 year )
In the website it talks only about 5 years ( https://www.gov.uk/becoming-a-british-citizen)
Kindly advice me on this regards.
Thank you in advance

The 3 year route to Citizenship under the old rules would only apply if your spouse is British.
(Casa, not CR001)
Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

Thank you Casa. One more question " can we both apply together " or "should my spouse get the citizenship first and then I apply later "

Since you are not spouse of BC so you are not eligible until you complete 5 years, But if your spouse is eligible now and have completed 5 years then he/she can apply and as soon as your spouse will get the naturalization you will be eligible to apply.
