Citizenship Application for Wife

Post by VRM » Tue Dec 11, 2007 11:49 am

My wife and I were married in India in 1995. We came to UK in May 2001 (I came on Work Permit). In May 2005 I applied for ILR and got it. My wife did not apply for ILR at that time. In June 2006 I applied for naturalisation and was granted British Citizenship in August 2006. My wife has recently applied for ILR, and a few days back she was granted the same.

My query is this -- Does my wife have to wait another 12 months under ILR to apply for naturailsation? Or can she apply immediately for naturalisation as she is married to a British citizen and has been in the UK for more that 3 years?
