Hi,
Can someone help when I can apply for naturalisation.
I entered the UK on a work permit in 2008 and obtained a spouse visa in April 2011. My husband is a British Citizen. I was out of the country for more than 90 days in 2010. I obtained my ILR in April 2013 (based on the spouse visa). When is the earliest I can apply for naturalisation?
Is it 3 years (regardless of what visa I was on) to qualify for the residency test?
Thank you.

When applying for my spouse visa, I had obtained a 'Statement of compatibility' from UKNARIC for my degree being taught in English.
Can I use the same letter when applying for British citizenship as per the changes in the rules?
Thanks.
