Please advise when can i apply for my children citizenship

Dear all,

Sorry If similar type of question has already been answered.

My elder daughter is 10, younger one is 8 and son is of 6 years old. My daughters arrived in UK on March-2010 and son on October-2010. All three and my wife are now on ILR since June-2013. I have got the British Citizenship in August-2014.

Just wondering when can i apply for my children's citizenship?

Many thanks, Nasir

Should be fine to apply now. Is your wife also applying for citizenship?

You can apply straight away. You could have applied for children with you in August 2014.

Thanks for the instant reply.

My wife is not applying for BC at the moment because there are few things need to be sorted.

As for children, my understanding was that since they were born abroad so they will need to complete their 5 years stay in UK before they are eligible for BC. Taking a look at the provided link, children applications will go under 3(1) category and 5 years time limit does not apply to them, right?

Yes, correct and as they have already been in the UK for a few years, you are fine to apply now and as advised, you could have applied when you applied.
