Dear Forum members,
Need your advice on the British spouse applying under 5 year residency requirement (not 3 years).
I'm a British Citizen, and my spouse currently holds an Indian Passport. She is living in the UK since 2010 (Tier 1 dependent initially) and has obtained settled status (ILR) since Jan 2013.
Question: Can my spouse apply under the 5 year residency rule as she has been in the UK since 2010 and on the settled status for over 3 years?
She was not in the UK 3 years before the date of application, which is required for applying for naturalisation as a spouse of British Citizen. Therefore, wanted to understand if she can apply under 5 year rule, as she was in the UK 5 years before the application date.
Thanks in advance for your help
