Hi all,

Notes:
* I am a naturalised British citizen via the Tier 1 General Route.
* My wife is due to apply for her ILR after completion of 5 years as my dependant.

Questions:

* We are planning to apply using Super Priority Service, so hoping to have same day decision and up to a week for ILR BRP card to arrive.

* Once we have her ILR, the plan is to submit an application to naturalise as a British citizen within the next week as she qualifies per below:
a) Is married to a British Citizen
b) Has lived in the UK for 3 years
c) Has Indefinite Leave to Remain
Am I correct in my understanding that is acceptable?

Please comment. Your valuable insight and experience are much appreciated.

Best regards,
OR

Correct, provided she meets the requirements to apply based on 3 years residence.

You need to wait for her ilr brp card before you can apply
