Skipping ILR process for dependent

Hi folks,

I currently have an ILR and eligible for applying for my British passport. My wife has also completed 5 years and is now eligible for applying for her ILR.

Would it be possible for her to skip ILR if I have a British passport? If not, would it at least be possible for her to skip the 1 year wait after getting her ILR? Thanks for your help and appreciate your responses. Cheers.

No.

Yes, but only if you are British at that point, or have attended your ceremony, and if she meets the requirements to apply as spouse of BC based in 3 years residence.

Gotcha, she satisfies the 3 year residence rule but I just need to ensure that she applies her ILR when I'm already a BC to directly be able to apply for British passport as opposed to waiting for an year. Thanks for your help.

ILR is a prerequisite for naturalisation. Being a British citizen is a prerequisite for a British passport. She cannot apply for a British passport directly from ILR.

Thanks for the correction, cheers.
