Clarification of naturalization eligibility as a spouse
Posted: Fri Mar 25, 2022 10:58 am
Hi there,
I naturalised as a British Citizen last month after having ILR for the period of a year after spending a considerable amount of time on a Tier 2 work visa.
My wife was on a Tier 2 dependency visa until last month as well - she now has ILR. She got ILR before I got my citizenship.
Before paying the crazy fee, I just want to double check that my wife is now eligible to apply for naturalisation. This is because her husband has citizenship so she doesn't have to wait a full year like others would. Is that correct? And also is it correct that it does not matter that she got ILR before I got my citizenship? The timing is a bit backwards.
