In order for your wife to apply for BC. You need to become a British Citizen first and she needs to have an ILR at the time.

Just realised something....

You don't need to wait for her to apply for her ILR first. If you are eligible, you can apply for Naturalisation in Sep. 2013 and then in Oct 2013 she can apply for her ILR.

My questions are: - Can my wife apply for BC with me in September 2013? - If not, would you please advise on the best route (in terms of timing and costs) for us to apply for BC? Regards, Conan 1.

The date of issue of ILR is 01 Feb 2013 and expiry date if ILR is 01 July 2022, 10 years from the date when I applied for ILR. ILR in itself does not have any expiry, it's the biometric card that comes with a expiry. You just got to renew it after 10 years like you renew your passport, bank cards o...
