Hi all,
A quick update that ILR was granted today on Set(M) for myself and my dependent. Total time at PEO from arrival to leaving = 3 hours
Very impressed with caseworker handling my application and paperwork.
Now I can apply for naturalisation as BC and I will start reading that pack of papers this weekend!!!
Many thanks

Hi Sunil,
Thanks, its been a long hard stressful time from when we decided to move to the UK in March 2008.
Yes, you do normally have to wait a year on ILR before citizenship but I have been in the UK for 3 years and 3 months to the day, details below :
29 Dec 2008 - Entered UK same time as BC spouse (married for 1 yr and 3 months at this stage) on UK Ancestry visa
14 April 2010 - Switched in country at PEO Croydon to Spouse visa
23 March 2012 - ILR granted as spouse of BC
I now qualify for naturalisation as BC as I have met the residential requirement of 3 years as spouse of BC.
All ready to go on this last hurdle, just need to get the cash together!!
Kind regards
C.
