Eligible for Naturalisation

Post by jignesh455 » Mon Oct 26, 2020 9:55 pm

Hi Guyz
I am citizen here. My wife was on Spouse visa (3+2) years as she joined me 31-03-15 and she just got her ILR on 13-03-20 very recently. I was reading guideline for Naturalisation application but it confused me. It says if she finish her 5 years and she has settlement visa then she can eligible for Naturalisation. Her 5 years in the UK are already completed on 31-03-20. So does that mean she is eligible to apply naturalisation that time.
I really appreciate to read my post and Thanking you in advance for your suggestions. 👍👍

Hello

She needs to wait ILR + 1 year.

Unless you are yourself British, in that case, she can apply as soon as she has the ILR.

I am citizen here.
She was eligible right after she got ILR in March 2020, given you are British since 2016.
3 years residency applies to her not 5 years as per Section 6(2).
Personal opinion only, not to be mistaken for legal advice. Please DO NOT PM me for immigration advice. Love for All, Hatred for None.
