Dear Friends,

i was just wondering if my wife is eligible to apply for naturalization?

She got ILR on 31/05/2019 based on SET(M)

i am British citizen since December 2015.

Please let us know if anyone needs any more info so that i can?

Naresh

She could have applied as soon as she got ILR if she meets the 3 years residence requirement to apply as the spouse of a British citizen under Section 6(2) of the nationality act.

Thank you i have filled the form today can i submit same documnets which i submitted for ILR?

You need to submit what is asked for, nothing more and no unnecessary documents. It is not an immigration application she is making and citizenship has less/limited documents requirements. So not sure what all you were planning to submit from the ILR application.

Note she must be within the absence limit of 270 days for the last 3 years, 90 days absence limit in the last 12 months and she must have been physically present in the UK on the same date 3 years ago as the date she submits and pays online. Date of application is the online submission and payment date and not the ukcvas appointment date.

Thank you very much for your help sofar, please correct me if i am worng or help which documents should i submit?



1)Proof of living in the UK for my wife? which documents i should send as they saying that they don't accept bank statements

2)proof of freedom from immigration time restrictions? please help me which document i should submit?

3)evidence of identity? again which document?

hello,

thank you for your reponse really appreciate it.

we had an appoinment today and they did not ask any documents apart from passport of my wife and i totally forgot to give them refrence request letter from friend and from accountant?

we did ask him he he needs any other documents three time but he said they have everything?

can you please help us? what should i do in this case?

Naresh

?

Did you not scan and upload the referee document yourself with the other supporting documents???

Hi Thank you for coming back to me.

No i did not do it as i thought i have to give them while biometric is done, even the guy at the appointment did not ask about them as i have mentioned him three times does he need anyting else. he said he has everything and all my documnets already checked and there is no note?

but i have uploaded them after the appointment later same day, do you think it will be ok?

Naresh

Received the post today to book the ceremony..

thank you very much all and you all been great.

i have suggested many people to get on to this forum if they need any info help regarding any immigration questions etc etc.

once again thank you very much for everyone answering my silly questions.

Regards
Naresh

Congratulations Naresh! So, in your case, it basically takes only 16 days from biometrics appointment to ceremony letter? It seems the fastest case I have seen in this forum.
