Query on citizenship if your spouse is a British citizen

Post by krishna_nath » Tue Sep 10, 2024 3:31 pm

Currently, I am on Tier 2 General Dependant VISA. (PreviousIy, I had to extend my dependant VISA while my wife applied for ILR)
My Wife recently applied for naturalisation.
I want to apply for British citizenship after her naturalisation is successful, using married to british spouse route.
My question is - Do I still need to apply for ILR before I apply for citizenship.

Yes.
All advice comes from personal research and experience and should not be regarded as professional opinion.

thanks, one more query - Can I apply for citizenship just after getting the ILR or need to wait for 1 year post ILR.

No sin in failing, you just have to try and try again!
