I recently received British citizenship, although I am still waiting for my passport and submitted the application 2 months ago.
Given I have British nationality now, and both my husband and son have status settled(ILR), are they eligible to apply for citizenship straight away, or do they have to wait for a year?
Looking at https://www.gov.uk/apply-citizenship-spouse, it appears my husband and son are eligible. Copy pasting relevant text from link:
Eligibility and fees
You can apply for British citizenship by ‘naturalisation’ if you:
- are 18 or over
- are married to, or in a civil partnership with, someone who is a British citizen
- have lived in the UK for at least 3 years before the date of your application
- indefinite leave to remain (ILR) in the UK
- ‘settled status’ (also known as ‘indefinite leave to remain under the EU Settlement Scheme’)
- indefinite leave to enter the UK (permission to move to the UK permanently from abroad)
