Citizenship without family members

[vspv]

Hi,
April 2013we got our ILR, and we were eligible for citizenship since last year . I m planning to apply citizenship for me and my daughter now. Since my wife was not in uk in March/April 2010 thus would not be able to apply citizenship for her.
1.when I apply for citizenship then does my wife need to apply any other visa , or she will be fine with her ILR-dependent for another 1 year before she applies for citizenship??
2. Does my daughter is good to apply citizenship along with me considering my wife will not apply for citizenship?
3. Is My understanding of my wife being not eligible for citizenship correct as she was on holidays and was not in uk exactly 5 years back?

Thanks. Your response will definitely help me.

1. If your wife has ILR she does not need any other permit.
2.
3. if your wife has been resident in the UK for the last 5 year plus 1 year ILR she can apply for naturalisation.Being on holiday is not a problem. Have in mind that when you apply you must have been present in the UK on the same day 5 years ago.

2. Does my daughter is good to apply citizenship along with me considering my wife will not apply for citizenship?

How old is your daughter? Where was she born?
Both these questions will determine her eligibility to apply with you.

Not relevant as the whole family have ILR according to the OP. Unless the OP would like to clarify what he means by 'ILR dependent'

The child could apply with her father as the mother does have settled status if what OP states is correct.

Thanks Friends for your reply.
1. I might have used ILR dependent loosely. We all got standard ILR after our stay here in UK for 5 year
2. My daughter was born in India in April 2007.

Based on your response I can make out that Husband and daughter can a appy together and wife can apply later on.

Milan,
Yes my wife has been resident in the UK for the last 5 year plus 2 years ILR(total almost 7 years) but she was not in UK for 3 months(March April and May) in 2010 (5 years back)..It seems my wife can apply for naturalisation only after May 2015.

Thanks
Regards

Sone one help please .. For Naturalisation ,

Is 5 Years + 1 year ILR Is the requirement ?
Or
5 years which include 1 year ILR is the requirement ?

I have 5 + 1 year , but My wife got ILR on the basis of 3 years in UK ,and she will have 5 years total which includes 1 year ILR , can she apply ?

Naturalisation is based on 5 years residence counting backwards from date of application and must include 12 months on ILR (different if married to a BC, which your wife is not). Make sure that your wife was physically present exactly 5 years ago to the day that HO receives your application, if she was not, it will be refused.

Hi
Pl suggest if I should apply Naturalisation for my daughters now or should I wait.
1. We all have ILR- issued in April 2013.
2. My Older daughter was born in India in 2007 and also she was not in UK at the start of 5 years (March 2010) as well as at the start of 3 years(March 2012).
3. Little one was born in india in 2009 and also she was not in UK at the start of 5 years (March 2010) as well as at the start of 3 years(March 2012).

Both have around 180 day absent in last 3 years. Pl suggest if there is any risk of gett their application rejected. I'm applying for British Citizenship along with my daughters; My wife will not be applying Citizenship now as she was not present at the start of 5 year. My wife has ILR.
What category will it be in form (Ans to Question 1 in Form) for my daughter's application? Will it be Section 3(5) or is it 3(1)?

I think 1 and 2 answered already by CR001 :

Rest first of all please go through this link and go to relevant links therein as well please, let us know if there's anything missing.

Thanks fwd079. I was little confused about residential requirement for children after reading the guide. But it seems I need to apply as per 3(1). and As stated in link shared by you that there is no residential requirement if child is born abroad. it is irrelevant whether child was in UK 3 yrs before or 5 Yrs before as long as child is under 13 yrs.
Link

If application under section 3(1) (children born abroad) - There are no residential requirements for children under 13 years old.

Best of luck.
