Information required for UK Citizenship

Post by ssundeep » Sun Mar 11, 2012 7:01 pm

hi,

I am planning to apply for my UK citizenship in June'12 when I complete my 5 years stay in UK. My wife is currently on her Work Permit which expires in July 2012. Can I apply for her citizenship as well when I apply for my citizenship or do I need to apply for her citizenship after I become a UK citizen ?
can you please advise ?

Thanks in advance.

5 years stay in the UK is not enough to be eligible to apply for BC. You need to hold ILR for 12 months before applying (so effectively, it is 6 years stay for most applicants).
See more FAQ - most common questions.

Sorry, I meant that I already have an ILR and am planning to apply for my citizenship..my wife is still on her work permit. Can I apply for her citizenship along with my application of citizenship ? Or do I need to wait for my citizenship to come through before applying for her citizenship as my spouse ?

Your wife needs to have ILR before applying (either on her own merit or as a spouse of BC). See Q2 in FAQ - most common questions.
