just i wanted to know wheather she qualifies or not if i apply now for british citizenship.

She can apply now. There are no residential requirements for application under section 1(3) (children born in the UK).

The 3 years / 270 days apply for children born abroad to parents who were British by decent at the time of the child birth. This doesn't apply in your case.

Yes, she is entitled now.
