Hi guys,
My wife has qualified for ILR in December 2014 from Tier 1 dependent. She entered UK in Jan. 2011. I am also on ILR and will apply for British Citizenship in Dec. 2015.
Can anybody please guide me when will she qualify for British Citizenship?
Many thanks

She will qualify in her own right based on 5 years residence in Jan 2016, provided she meets all the requirements and has 1 year on ILR.
She will only qualify sooner if you are British, which you are not as yet.

Thanks for replying. Much appreciated. She entered UK on 17 Jan 2011, based on this, can she make an application for citizenship anytime after 17 Jan 2016?

Correct as she will have held ILR for 12 months by then too.
