Hi Everyone,

Hope you all are well.

My wife has received ILR BRP today (via 5 years on Tier 1 Entrepreneur PBS Dependent/Family/Partner route and Husband has British Citizenship since 2020). My husband receives Universal Credit and Child Benefit on his name but our both names appear on UC statements monthly.

Further details on my wife case are here in ILR thread:
indefinite-leave-to-remain/help-needed- ... 00-25.html

I have below few questions regachildrwife's naturalisation application:

1) Can I apply right away for her or need to wait 1 year and then apply. (My husband and children have British passport already since 2020).

2) Which form need to be used?

3) can she apply for UC couple allowance now on ILR and will that affect her naturalisation application if processed?

4) can I travel on holidays on ILR BRP while naturalisation application is in process or even approved?

Thanks

1) Can I apply right away for her or need to wait 1 year and then apply. (My husband and children have British passport already since 2020).

Yes.

2) Which form need to be used?

3) can she apply for UC couple allowance now on ILR and will that affect her naturalisation application if processed?

If she is eligible for UC she can apply, I can't comment if that is the case.

4) can I travel on holidays on ILR BRP while naturalisation application is in process or even approved?

Yes, until application is approved. Once she attends the ceremony she will become British and will need to apply for British passport as her BRP will become invalid.

Thanks for your valuable input.

So ILR BRP cancels after attending ceremony (just after getting naturalisation certificate).

So my question is, she can travel on ILR even her naturalisation application has approved (while away on holidays on ILR) but have not attended the ceremony yet? And she can easily travel back on ILR BRP and book for ceremony later?

Please shadow your light on above.

Thanks

She can book her ceremony with the council as soon as she gets the approval, no impact on the validity of the BRP. She will have 90 days to attend the ceremony.

Thanks
