Citizenship clarification?

Post by northcave » Thu Jul 24, 2014 12:56 pm

Please can someone clarify this:

1. 1 year after holding ILR for which I got for being here 10 years. I can then apply for Citizaenship?
2. Can I apply before the 1 year so it is accepted as close to the 1 year mark?
3. How long does the application for citizenship tend to take to get a British passport?

1. Yes
2. You need the full 12 months before applying
3. There is currently a long backlog of passport applications. You should probably allow 6 months for the full process..citizenship application/citizenship ceremony/passport application

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.
