Now few questions ::

01) I am on ILR at the moment, my wife got settlement dependent visa (33 months) on my ILR status, I have applied for British naturalization, after British citizenship, do i need to inform to home office that my status is changed from ILR to BC and my wife is dependent on old ILR Status? will they change her visa status or she will remain on same visa until her visa get expired?

02) How many days my wife is allowed to be out of the UK if she will apply for ILR after 5 years living in the UK?

No need to notify HO and your wife can continue on her current visa, and should submit a FLR(M) application before the expiry date for a further 2.5 year period.

02) How many days my wife is allowed to be out of the UK if she will apply for ILR after 5 years living in the UK? There is no absence restriction on absence, providing the relationship is subsisting.

03) After my British citizenship, she still needs to spend 5 years in uk to get her ILR? Yes

For FLR(M) you are required to submit 6 pieces of evidence of address in joint names, from at least 3 different sources spread as evenly as possible covering the full 2.5 year qualifying period.

If you don't have 6 in single names, you should submit 12 (6 each) in single names. A generally guidance is one (or two) examples of correspondence/bills etc every 4-5 months.

Please guide this!
