british citizenship wait time after ilr

Post by dilse4srk » Sat Feb 10, 2018 12:00 am

Hi everyone. I would really appreciate your replies. This is regarding my brother.

He came here on student visa, spent 7 years on student visa legally then got married to british citizen but he got visa on human rights ground. He recently got his ilr few weeks ago based on 10 years long residency. My question is can he apply for citizenship straight away or he has to wait for 12 months. I am confused because i thought people who are on spouse visas dont have to wait but in my brother's case he got his ilr on long residency but married to british citizen plus they visa he had while he was married was due to his wife but it was not spouse visa. It was leave to remain given on human rights. Please reply
