Naturalisation straight after ILR

Post by leicesterer » Sun Oct 01, 2017 2:26 pm

Dear Seniors/Gurus
Apology in advance if this question was already discussed.
I have applied for British citizenship and passport and hopefully I will receive this by the end of this month.
My question is regarding my wife, she is applying for ILR in November as my dependent (T1-G). can she apply for citizenship straight after the ILR? Is there is any absent issue in naturalisation? She was away from UK, 11 months in 2014, 9 months in 2015, and 5 months in 2016.
Thanks in advance.

Yes but only if you are Brirtish at that point and provided she meets ALL the requirements for citizenship based on 3 years residence as spouse of BC, including being physically present in the UK on the same date 3 years ago as the date she applies and provided she does not exceed the absence limit of 270 days in the 3 years and 90 days in the last 12 months immediately before applying.
