hi..
please write me back that am i eligible for british nationality bcause some people said yes and some said no so im seeking advice before apply

there is fee of almost £850 so i don,t wana loose it. my case is as,

i came in uk from pakistan as student visa on = september, 2007

then i got certificate of approval in october,2009 for marriage while i was still on student visa.

then i registered my marriage in december, 2009 in registerar office. but i was still on student visa.

in march,2010 i got two years spouse visa.

then july,2012 i got ILR.

im still living with my family and we have two kids,

some solicitors advice me that i am eligible to apply for naturalization/british nationality because i ,ve completed three years from date of marriage to current date and i don,t

need to wait one year after ilr. and im not out of uk more than 90 days in three years,

but some told me that i have to wait one year from the date of when i received my ilr.

so im confused now and i just need your help as confirmation that

am i eligible or not now.

Hi Zainoor1

is ur spouse is holding British Nationality and if it is yes,then you can apply for Naturalisation as long as you have completed three years of stay in uk.

If your spouse is not holidng british nationality,u need to wait one year after you got ILR provided you meet the residential requirements.
