So you have your indefinite leave so once you have been in the UK for 3 years you can apply for Naturalisation (but see below). Actually the test is as simple as "the applicant was physically present in the UK exactly 3 years before BIA receive the application".I am on a south african passport (with a uk settlement visa) living with my husband who is british in the united kingdom
This is actually a matter of debate at the moment. The Home Office has recently lost a case in the Court of Appeal relating to whether the whole CoA regime is legal or not. But still no message on the HO or BIA websites about what they intend to do next.a COA is a Certificate of Approval, which you need if you marry or register a civil partnership in the UK if one or both of you are from overseas
