Spouse Citizenship query !

[indian2012]

I have read the spouse residency requirements but still not completely clear.

My ILR is due in Sept 2013 ( based on 5 years Tier 1 general ) and citizenship will be due in Sept 2014. My Wife is due for ILR in Sept 2013 along with me but can she apply for Citizenship immediately after I am granted citizenship in Sept 2014 ?

As per married to BC rule, she can apply after my citizenship ceremony or does she have to wait for another year until 2016 Jan to complete 5 years residency in total.

However I also think we cannot apply for citizenship apply together in Sept 2014 .


She came to Uk in Feb 2011 after marriage in India.

Not with you in Sept 2014, but she can apply as a spouse of a BC after you become a BC subject to the residential requirements (present in the UK 3 years prior to the date of application etc)
