little help wife naturalisation

[natty321]

By the grace of god and help and guidance of members on here (specialy D4109125)..i have recieved my approval on 29-aug-2103 and ceremony of oath is on the 5 oct-2013

quick question

Can my wife apply for Her naturalisation on the basis of 3 year married to british citizen... on the 21-oct-2013... she came To U.K as a spouse in 19-oct-2010--- and was granted a indefinite leave to remain on 3-oct-2012

as i still wont be in possession of British passport...and i will only have certificate when she applies for naturalisation on 21-10-2013

thank you

Yes. She would be eligible from 18/10/2013 (3 years after arriving in the UK).

The Naturalisation Certificate is fine. You don't need to hold a passport to support her application.

Jambo.

On the application i know they have put british certificate number of husband but when you check document reqd list . they ask for husbands british passport.. you mean a certificte should be sent instead with wife's app ?

[natty321]

Thank for a quick reply
Even I thought she can but on the an1 form last page of supporting documents requirement

In section 6 it says
Evidence of marriage for application made on the basis of marriage to British citizen
:Husband passport or birth certificate And
:The marriage certificate

I still have Pakistani passport and will have naturalization certificate when wife apply's on the 21-oct
So how her that requirement be fulfilled without me having British passport

I'm confused

[Jambo]

The naturalisation certificate is not listed in the form by mistake. It's listed in the guide AN.
You need to prove you are British. Passport is one way. Naturalisation certificate is another (some might argue even stronger than a passport).

[natty321]

So is my naturalization certificate and birth certificate enough to fulfill that requirement? ....do I even have to give my Pakistani passport?
Thanks

[Jambo]

Birth certificate? You don't need to submit that or your Pakistani passport. Yor wife only needs your naturalisation certificate.

[natty321]

Thanks for the advices
