Thank you CR001. I was told I could apply only after obtaining ILR and got confused when I was told I need to wait for 12 months from the date in my BRP (April 2013) to be eligible to apply for naturalisation.CR001 wrote:you could have applied with yout husband or immediately after he attended ceremony and received his certificate.

Q1: I was just granted ILR, when can I apply?
If not married to BC, the standard requirements need to be met. This includes holding ILR/PR for at least 12 months before applying.
If married to a BC, you can apply the same day you are granted ILR if you meet the spouse requirements which includes 3 years residence. Any legal stay in the UK counts.
An important requirement you should pay attention to is that you need to have been physically present in the UK at the beginning of the 3/5 years residence period i.e. the day the HO receives your application 3/5 years back. This is a pass/fail test and the HO has no discretion with this requirement.
He only became a British Citizen just for 2 years and 4 months? lollove UK 08 wrote:Thank you CR001.

Under what criteria will I be applying for naturalisation? (As my husband has become British citizen only for 2 years and 4 months)?
Could you please shed light on this? Thank you
