Hi,
Sorry if this question has been asked before. My wife has just passed her Life in the UK test, and we're applying for Naturalisation. Just looking through the Form AN, and we're a little concerned about the section on employment.
She's never worked in the Uk, as she's stayed at home to look after our children.
Will this affect her application (we've never claimed any benefits, apart from Tax Credits), and I've been in full employment for 13 years?
I'm just concious of getting everything correct, as there's the small matter of £720, which I understand is forfeit even if they reject your application.
Forgot to mention, I'm a Brit.

If you mean, 'Indefinite Leave to Remain', yes, yes she had. Since 2001. Yes, I know we've left the citizenship thing for far too long.

in that case, she's eligible for British Citizenship.]
