The answer isn't really that complicated and hasn't changed for years: as soon as spouse gains ILR she can apply for naturalisation based on being spouse of British citizen (Section 6(2)) - no wait time, if she satisfies all requirements. Please look through the guidance, if not done already: https...

Re: PBS Dependant to ILR : Application to vary query

Thank you kind sir!

The difference between PBS Dependant Expiry and ILR Qualifying period is merely 20 days (counting the -28 days for ILR eligibility) hopefully the case worker would accept the new submission date as application date and process ILR.
Your thoughts?
Appreciate it.
