You need to be at least 12 months on ILR so not before 12 October 2012.

The above condition does not apply to you. That said, you have already been advised accurately, here.

For Sushdmehta:

I have read (now) the other thread and it does not seem to me to conflict with what I wrote.

Unless married to a British citizen he has to wait 12 months on ILR.
Whether then he can apply or not also depends on his imigration history, for example, if he was legal in the last 5 years etc/ [/quote]

As you seem to be already aware, there is no such condition for a spouse of a British citizen applying for naturalisation.

You assumed that OP is not married to a British citizen, and responded accordingly - without ascertaining the fact.

I was aware he/she was, and responded accordingly (with the link to his previous topic where the query had already been responded to, accurately).

I miised the fact that he is married to a British citizen.
Thanks Sushdmehta for clarifying this to me.
