Hi, I am british passport holder from last 3 years, and my settlement was under 10 years route ILR..
My wife and both children got ILR last week under same 10 years route...
So, in this case, can my wife go for British citizenship (naturalization) immediately after getting ILR (Set LR) within a week?
If yes can she include under 18 children on the same application? rather mn1?
If it allows, can same british citizen referees (just friends with IT consultants..not professionals like doctor/nurse/director of vat registration) used for all 3 of them?
Your responses are most important to me..
Many thanks in advance...

Yes

She can add them to her application, Once the age is selected the form will automatically switch to MN1
If it allows, can same british citizen referees (just friends with IT consultants..not professionals like doctor/nurse/director of vat registration) used for all 3 of them?
If the referees are appropriate, yes.
Your responses are most important to me..
Many thanks in advance...

Thanks,
In this case, if I just want to apply only mn1 after immediately ILR for my both kids...
The options are below, which option do I need to choose?
Choose which category to apply under. You are a child under 18 and:
You were born outside the UK - selected Yes
Options: I can only see the last option..will that okay?
Your parent is British by descent and lived in the UK or a British Overseas territory for at least 3 years before you were born
Your parent is British by descent and you and your parents (unless they are legally separated) are now living in the UK or a British Overseas territory
You were born on or after 13 January 2010 and your parent was serving in the UK armed forces
You were adopted abroad by British citizen parents
You were born before 1 July 2006 to a British father and your parents were not married
One or both of your parents is applying for British citizenship
Other - apply at the discretion of the Home Secretary

"Other" is the only option relevant to your children born abroad.
