No, it isn't. There are a number of tests that need to be passed and as regards ILR, as the spouse of a British Citizen, you merely need to have ILR (and not to have held it for any particular length of time).If i will be granted the ILR in germany, than after how much time after that will i be able to apply for naturalization in UK? (isnt it 1 year after ILR???)
But going down that route, what will they actually grant? I just have a suspicion that it will be an EEA Family Permit, rather than a two-year spouse visa.Correct fee. Please note dependants of British citizens may be entitled to gratis entry clearance if the British sponsor can provide evidence (eg payslips and/or letter from employer) that they have been working for a substantial period of time in an EU country other than the UK.
Consulate must process any application submitted that is deemed to be valid. ECO will likely ask why the OP needs ILR when he can work in the UK as an EEA national. He can say he wishes to acquire ILR at the earliest opportunity which is a valid enough reason given he meets the rules under which the application will be processed. There is no aspect of EU law and hence applicable fees must be paid.John wrote:Kayalami, will the British Embassy/Consulate in Germany deal with the application OK?

Only applicable for EU law applications under which the EEA family permit falls = free. EEA family permit has nothing to do with ILR until post your UK entrance and only then if extended by way of an EEA residence permit to 4 years. Your ILR application is under UK immigration rules - all applicable fees must be paid. Sorry - you are mixing up legislation to suit you..it doesn't work like that. All you are gaining by way of current UK ILR route to naturalisation is 1 yr over the EEA route.WH431 wrote:Actually acc to UK consulate (germany) website, one dont need to pay any fees, if he returning to UK with his/her spouse(UK citizen) and:
