Hi,
My wife has got her independent Tier1 VISA from India and entered UK on the same VISA on 5th Feb 2010 and planning to extend her Tier1 this year.
I will be eligible for British Citizenship in 8 months time, (assuming that I get BC next year) can my wife apply for citizenship after completing her 3 years in UK, in the category - spouse of British citizen?

Please let me know if more details are needed.

I referred to below link on HO website,

Nobody can apply for BC unless and until that person has ILR or PR (and the relevant residence requirement).
