Wife applying for British Citizenship

Post by meranaamirfan » Sat Nov 16, 2013 10:10 am

Hi my wife came in to the UK on 27th November 2010 as my dependent (Old Work Permit).

The following year in September 2011 I applied for ILR and she was able to get hers at the same time.

I got my Citizenship the following year in Sep 2012. Now on 27th November 2013 she would have been in the country 3 years, does she qualify to apply for British Citizenship? Does she have to wait until 27th to apply?

Thanks for the reply. Just another clarification needed. At the time of getting her ILR she passed the life in the UK test but since 28th October the home office have added another language requirement. Will my wife need to satisfy the additional requirement about English?
