ILR to Naturalization-questing about 1 year waiting period

Post by sanjanadehi » Mon Aug 07, 2017 9:22 pm

My name is Sanjana. I am an Indian national, who came to UK on a independent Tier 2 visa in 2012. Yesterday I got my ILR .

My husband came to UK around 1.5 years before me and is now a British Citizen (became British citizen around 1 month back). After getting ILR my husband waited for 1 year (according to the rules) and then applied for naturalization..

My question is do I also have to wait for one year and then apply for Naturalization or can I apply for Naturalization straighaway, as I am married to a British Citizen now.

Again I would mention that we both were on our independent tier2 visa (none of us were dependent on other). We were but staying together since 2012.

Assuming you meet all the standard requirements including permitted absences in the qualifying period, you can apply for BC now.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
