Citizenship for kid under 18

[praveen_suda]

Hi I have got my ILR last year and I am now eligible for applying citizenship.
My wife and son has got their ILR two weeks back.

Can they apply for citizenship with me? or they both need to wait for 12 months period?

Thank you in advance.

Your child yes, depending on how long they have been resident in the UK and how old they are. Your wife no. She can apply once you are officially British or once she has ilr for 12 months, whichever comes sooner.
