Naturalising as a British Citizen

Post by Nofil735 » Fri Apr 12, 2024 3:30 pm

Hi there
I applied for ILR when I was under 18 and I recently recieved ILR. My father is already a British citizen and me my mother and my younger siblings(under 18) recieved our ILR recently. However when I recieved my ILR im over 18, My mother and all my siblings will be applying to naturalise now and become british citizen, can I also naturalise with them or do I have to wait a year. We all are dependant upon my father
Thanks
Nofil

You need to wait until 12 months have elapsed since you were granted ILR.
All advice comes from personal research and experience and should not be regarded as professional opinion.

There is no dependency concept for citizenship. Each applicant regardles of age, must meet the requirements on the own.

You will also need the English B1 and LIUK tests for when you can apply once you have held ilr for 12 months.

No there is not. The only applicants who dont have to wait 12 months are children under 18 and people married to British citizens.
