Is your partner British and married to you?

Are you currently married to a British Citizen?
If you are, then you can apply for naturalisation once you have got ILR.
Passport application can be done once you have been approved for nauralisation and have attended the ceremony.

yes i am married with British girl.

Then the steps are :
1. Apply for ILR on SET(M) form if your current visa is a spouse of BC visa
2. Once ILR approved, apply for BC naturalisation - AN form
3. Once BC approved and ceremony done, apply for passport

Thanks for reply , i got a daughter as welll she is just 3 month old, can i get child benefit ,,, if yes ,,, will it affect on my application,,,, if yea how???

Your wife can apply for child benefit because she is British. You can only apply for child benefit once you have got ILR.

Benefits won't affect your BC naturalisation application but if you are claiming benefits it it will affect your ILR application as you are not entitled, except for joint tax credit claims

i am not getting any benefit , in SET M form their is a box which clearly mention that YOU or YOUR partner getting any benefit, page no 19

in that case she is getting child benefit ,,,,, what i will write their then,,,,,

[CR001]

then you tick yes in the box under the column for your spouse - she is allowed to claim and it will not affect your application,
