1/ LIUK Test pass is still valid.
2/ NO need to be employed at all. you can be on benefits even
3/ 90 days in your last year, there may apply discretion for up to 100days away
4/ There are no dependents when it comes to naturalisation. So your spouse will have to meet the same requirements.

Remember for the purposes of naturalisation there are NO dependents. So your spouse has to meet the same requirements as you have to meet. Unless if she applies after you receive your naturalisation certificate and then they would need to only have lived here for 3 years instead of the current 5
