When ca I apply for my naturalization and British passport

[tumpa]

Hi,

I have an Indian passport and recently got my ILR under Set (O) route as dependants of a skilled worker. More details is in my earlier post here viewtopic.php?t=358556.
My husband who also had an Indian passport, has eventually got his ILR in May 2024 and UK passport in July 2025 as he had qualified under 10 years long residence route. My question is can I apply for my naturalization straight away as my husband is already a British citizen and I and my daughter have got my ILR now. Or do I need to wait for 1 year before I apply for my naturalization.

Thanks

Yes, you can apply for naturalisation straight away under section 6(2): married to a British citizen. No need to wait.

Thanks Lolo,

Will start the application now. Also are there any categories while applying for naturalization which I need to choose. For example, while applying ILR we have Set (O), Set (M) etc. Do we have similar categories for applying for naturalization. Or its just one category only.

For adults, it's only one form AN https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... n-guidance

Naturalisation is not an immigration application and it has its specific rules, how you obtained ILR is irrelevant.

Thanks Lolo2,

I have got an initial glance at the document. Also do you know if there are any similar directives for kids aged 9, who has also got ILR but was born outside UK as I want to apply for my daughter as well. Can I do it together, or shall I have to wait before my naturalization completes. And then directly apply for passport.
