There is no '3 year route' as it now usually takes 5 years for ILR (or even PR).
There is a '3 years of evidence of residence' option.
That is a section 6(2) application.

Caseworker will figure it out, NCS is just an agent.

I agree that this person will qualify under section 6(2). But however section 6(2) is a 3 years route in that a person will qualify if they are able to demonstrate that they have resided in the UK for 3 years in a lawful capacity, has settled status and married to a British Citizen.

So i think, OP may be somehow right in mentioning a 3 years route.

A lame people who is not as vast as your good self in British Nationality law, may be excused for characterizing it as a 3 year route, will they not?

As long as people understand there is no fast-track 3 year route to citizenship then our work is done.

I think there may well be, through tier 1 accelerated ILR, but it requires a substantial amount of money and marriage to a British spouse.

It all depends on the interpretation in a person''s mind.

I will simply confine my self to saying, that a person who has recoded in the UK and happen to secure ILR by whatever means, one of which was mentioned by CASA, will be able to secure citizenship if they are married to British citizens. I can think of 2 other circumstances in addition to CASA, where this may be possible.

Let's say a family member of an EEA national or has ceased activity, apply for an EEA family permit and enter the UK.

That family member may be eligible for PR under regulation 15 (1)(d) upon entry.

If the EEA national then apply for British citizenship , the family member will qualify under 6 (2) after 3 years residence.

We cold have a woman who was a victim of domestic violence, who then secured ILR, and following that, married to another British Citizen. After 3 years she will be eligible under 6 (2) aswell.

Even though nothe very many, there are few categories of people who can benefit from 6 (2) under 3 years residence, not to mention the 1 year ILR exemption.

...

I was referring to mainstream 6(1) and 6(2) applications.
Not the special 'safety net' cases that are triggered due to circumstances such as death, incapacity, domestic violence & etc in which the key factor is not for example 'X' years residence but rather the relevant tragedy or catalyst.

But I'm continually inspired by how this information bubbles up from the collective hive mind of the forum.

Employment is NOT a requirement for citizenship.

She can write 'unemployed' and leave the rest (tax office ref etc) blank.

[noajthan]

1.45 - correct

1.46 - skip

Tax details - no need, skip.

I got my naturalization certificate on 20 November 2013.so her three years route START from this date to apply for naturalization.

here is her outside the uk holidays details

>> Visit UAE see the family from 13/07/14 ------- 14/10/14
>> visit Pakistan see the family From 24/05/15 ------- 20/08/15
>> visit Saudi Arabia go the umrah 27/11/16 -------- 10/12/16

Can you please tell me she meets the Residence requirement.

Please help me i am very upset. Thanks

[Casa]

She could have applied for citizenship as soon as you became a British citizen as she had already been granted ILR. You were confused with the 3 year rule.

However, she can not apply if she has spent more than 90 days outside of the UK in the 12 month period prior to submitting the application.
.

[noajthan]

If wife has ILR she may apply for naturalisation as your spouse and make a section 6(2) application.

The 3 years is counted back from date of application.
So if applying sometime in 2017 count backwards 3 years (to 2014).

Your wife only seems to have spent around 190 days out of UK in past 3 years.
And less than 90 days out in past 12 months.
All good.

Thanks noajthan to giving me breath.what i am confusing is below ,
>> Visit UAE see the family from 13/07/14 ------- 14/10/14
>> visit Pakistan see the family From 24/05/15 ------- 20/08/15
so above one days out side of uk is more than 90 if we take date from start 13/07/14 and till 20/08/15.

Hope you will help me out. Thanks

[CR001]

The 90 days is relevant to the 12 months immediately before date of citizenship application not 2 years ago.

When do you plan to submit the application?
