That isn't technically true. You can only avail of the 1 year on ILR if you have been in the UK for at least three years prior to submitting the naturalisation application (and are married to a British citizen).jes2jes wrote:Hi Akupa,
Has your wife applied for naturalisation already since she can apply straight away and not wait for one year since she's married to a British citizen?8. Copy of Home Office letter confirming my wife’s PR status
I know, I assumed the OP's wife had lived in the UK for 3 years.sakura wrote:That isn't technically true.

There is nowhere indicated on the OP's posts how long his wife has lived in the UK, so we cannot suggest that she qualifies any time before December 2008. If she first came to the UK on a spouse visa and subsequently received ILR from that, then she has not lived in the UK for at least three years and therefore cannot apply immediately for naturalisation.
Viinny's link explains it all.
Well no. Your wife can process her application exactly on the 3rd anniversary of her UK stay. She would have used December had you not been a British Citizen but since you are a BC she can apply when the residency qualification is achieved (October).akuppa wrote:Hi Jes2jes
My wife will be completing 3 years this October.......She got her ILR last December and i guess I could start`the application process anytime from Dec ?
