Your answers are very appretiacted

* will I lose my ILR?

You will keep your ILR regardless.

* * If not, when I will be eligible for Naturalisation?

If you have been living legally in the UK for the last five years, I think you will be eligible for naturalisation if you meet the other requirements.

Residential requirements

To demonstrate the residential requirements for naturalisation you need to:

* have been resident in the United Kingdom for at least five years (this is known as the residential qualifying period); and
.
.
.

Immigration time restrictions

You must be free from immigration time restrictions when you make your naturalisation application. Unless you are married to or the civil partner of a British citizen, you should have been free from immigration time restrictions during the last 12 months of the residential qualifying period.
