Hello,

I wonder if you could please assist me with my enquiry:

My wife was granted her ILR on 08/07/2024. She got her ILR through the spouse Visa route.

I would like to know the earliest date she can apply for British Citizenship (Please note her husband (myself) is still on ILR as I have not applied for British citizenship.

Your help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

She can apply once she has held ILR for 12 months and meets all the 5 year requirements, including the physically present at the start of the qualifying period.

Hello CR001,

Many thanks for your below response.

So the 28 days rule (where by you can submit an application 28 days before) do not apply to British Citizen application?

Thank you.

There's mo "28 days" rule for naturalisation - it's not part of immigration.
