Re: UK Citizenship

1. She could have applied as soon as she got ilr.

2. She needs to apply in the name that is kn her passport. FYI, a spouse wouldn't be refused due to the name issue you state anyway. It if you want her married for citizenship, she has to change her passport first.

The new visa start date will be date of approval.

Re: Global Talent dependant extension – main applicant has ILR and form asking for visa end date

If she applies on 17th Jan then you put an end date of 16th Jan 2029 to get 3 years IHS.

If you put even one day past 3 years, you will be charged extra IHS.
