Looking for some advice here please. I have been in the UK since 2011 with my wife. I got my ILR in 2021 and planning to apply for Naturalisation or British citizenship soon. My wife has applied for ILR and pending decision.

Qn - Would my wife be able to apply for British citizenship soon after i get my British passport(assuming she gets her ILR too) as she has been in the UK with for over 3 years without having to wait for 1 year after her ILR?

Wife could apply as soon as she gains ILR, and you have naturalised as a British citizen (your British passport in this context is not relevant) - no waiting period. And she satisfies all the requirements.
