earliest time to apply for citizenship

Post by osa12345 » Fri Jun 19, 2026 6:23 pm

Hello,

I got my settled status (under EU settlement scheme) on June 11, 2025. My wife got her settled status on March 3, 2025. Our daughter got hers July 3, 2025. Our daughter is 6 years old.

Can we all apply now (June 20, 2026) without waiting for July 3rd 2026?

thanks

can one of the moderators reply?
I have received different answers from different advisors so I was wondering what is your view
do we need to wait for our daughter to complete her 12 month period?

we are all volunteers on this forum, so please allow us some time to reply. If your daughter has lived in the UK for at least 2 years you can all apply together. Note that each application will be reviewed individually and may be assigned to a different caseworker altogether, so you may not receive your outcomes together.

Hello yes she lived in the UK for last 2 years. She is attending primary school here.
So this 12 month wait period is not applicable to her?

Your daughter can apply in line with parents.
