Hi,
sorry for maybe asking a silly question,
so under the SS I get issued a FP as a spouse of a Brit that exercised his trade rights in the EU..
Can we apply for naturalization after 3 years staying in the UK with the 5year FP or we must wait until the FP expires?

thanks

So basically the questions are:
