I dont think you will find anything specific to a 'dependents' application for naturalisation. This is because applications for BC are treated individually (you can apply at the same time and take advantage of the discounted rate) and so each person has to meet their own time requirements, good character etc.gainvidya wrote:I had the same question but what I found so far is same as f2k said.
I am sure there is more than that but unable to find it in the BIA website.
I have my friend in similar situation who's wife joined him 2.5 years before ILR and both of them successfully applied for both ILR and naturalisation in by 2007.
This is you can find on the UKBA website Heregainvidya wrote:This site seems to be saying something different

"Naturalization after three years in the UK as a spouse of a UK Citizen or someone settled in the UK"
Although cannot find a direct reference from BIA website
Really? I've looked at your link, and don't see where it says you can naturalize after three years as a spouse of someone with ILR! Spouse of BC, yes!f2k wrote: This is you can find on the UKBA website Here
This is for someone who is married to a British citizen or someone with ILR. Not for a dependent of someone on limited leave e.g HSMP, WP, TIER 1,2
What if the main HSMP applicant obtains citizenship, can his dependant apply straight away based on the "married" criteria ?f2k wrote:This is for someone who is married to a British citizen or someone with ILR. Not for a dependent of someone on limited leave e.g HSMP, WP, TIER 1,2
I think you answered yourself before you asked the question.cancel_all wrote:THis is our case
I have been here for 3 years + ILR for one year = 4 in total
My husband has 6 years as self employed+ 1 year with ILR= 7 in total
We are planning to apply for naturalization together.
He should have no problems in getting his certificate, but because I don't have the 5 years I don't think I will get.
But then, if he gets his, that makes his British and I would not need to be here for 5 years, only 3.
Should we apply together or wait until he gets his certificate and then send mine?
