Time gap between grant of PR card and naturalization

Post by tesb » Mon May 18, 2015 7:32 pm

I have recently been issued a Permanent Residence card and now plan to apply for Naturalization. I remember from friends who applied in the past that you can only apply for naturalization once you have held the PR card for 1 year but i cannot find anything relevant to this on the application and corresponding guide.

Can i proceed with my naturalization application immediately once the PR card has been issued?

I have been working in the UK since September 2007 with a 9 month gap in 2012 to fulfil my compulsory military service obligation.
