Good morning everyone, please I have a question . If a person gets ILR on the basis of long term residence (10 years) , can the apply for naturalisation straight away if he is married to a British citizen or does the person have to wait for 12 months because his ILR wasn't granted on the basis of marriage .
Please I need someone who had a similar experience or someone that knows more about this to shed more light on this .
Your input is highly appreciated .
Thanks

Yes assuming you meet all the standard requirements, including permitted absence. It's irrelevant how you obtained ILR
