Hi guys,
My wife is going to apply for naturalisation this week and we also bought a house….which means when she applies for naturalisation it would different address where we are now as the completion date may be in January 11 and when she applies for passport it would be our new property address …

You may wonder what is the hurry ? she is going to apply for promotion and thought citizenship would help her without people thinking “British jobs for British people “..


Would it be an issue ?

Naturalisation and application for British passport are completely separate.
Once she is granted BC she can wait for however long she chooses before she applies for a passport. In fact some BC's never apply for one.
She can give your present address for nationality application and the new one for the passport application.

You become a citizen once your are naturalised.
