They debited them on the 24th; a day after I received the acknowledgement.

You can find this number on the top right hand side of the letter you received from the Home Office prior to acquiring ILR. However, I left this section blank as well.

Good luck for both of you.

@riojamel: I sent the same documents as Kel, plus a marriage certificate to qualify for the discounted fees' rate of a joint application.

@Kel: I submitted mine on the 29th of June. This is why I became a bit worried.

Thank you.

I contacted the Home Office and they said she will have to wait until she completes the 5 years requirement.

Thank you.

Hi all. I am planning to apply for naturalisation by the end of April, based on 5 years (work permit) + 1 year (ILR). However, although my wife will have completed the 1 year (ILR) by the end of April, she will complete the 5 years period in the UK by the end of June. Can we lodge a joint applicatio...
