Applying for citizenship immediately after ILR

[Jayneel1981]

Hi - my wife just had successful ILR on 10th Feb 2018 ( awaiting Biometric Card) . I am british citizen since 2014, Can I apply for her citizenship immediately once I receive the Bio metric Card as she is married to a British citizenship. She meets all the other requirements regarding absences etc.

Pls advise?

Yes she can apply immediately if she meets the requirements, including physically present exactly 3 years ago on the date she applies.

Yes, you must send the signed referee pages.

Thanks CR001

Also on the document check list I have to provide document as "Proof of living in the UK" which documents I can provide in that category?

[CR001]

All passports covering the period should suffice if a Non EU citizen.

I have submitted all originals documents today I have 2 questions

1- Do I get my originals back within few days? if so any time frame?

2- Also I dont need any original ID document when I go for BRP enrolement at post office, as all my documents are with HO


Pls advise.

Thanks

What method did you apply, online/postal/NCS???

[Jayneel1981]

Hi CR001 - I applied online/Paid online just posted original as required per the document checklist.

[CR001]

Did you opt for the NDRS service at the Council??

[Jayneel1981]

No

[CR001]

Likely a couple/few weeks before you get your documents back.

Online applications seem to be approved relatively quickly.

2- Also I dont need any original ID document when I go for BRP enrolement at post office, as all my documents are with HO

No, you only need the letter. Presumably you had an option to download the biometric letter during the online process?

Thanks

Yes I have the BM enrolment letter printed when I submitted my application online.
