Recently in Feb 2016 applied for ILR with my wife and us both got ILR now and qualified for naturalisation on Feb 2017.
I got two children, Daughter is 12 year old and Son is 10 year old and both born in India. They are living in India and recently applied for ILE and the both got settlement visa.
I have following questions:
1. When they can eligible for naturalisation. ?
2. Do they require at least 2 residence periods for naturalisation.
3. Do they require to wait or can make application with us for naturalisation?

1) When in UK with ILE/ILR

2) No

3) Apply along with or else after parents.
Note minors are registered not naturalised.

Older teens need to show their future lies clearly in UK.
12/13 years old may be borderline for a residence requirement.
