she should be present 3 years back .as for 3 year there is no such requirement that she has to complete 1 year on ilr which is for 5 year category .so u will be fine and there is no such thing that u should be present 1 year back .hope this helps

She also does not have to be in UK exactly 12 months before the application.

No.

Yes. But personally I'd not recommend it till attendance of Ceremony.

Can she ? i thought she needs to complete 1 year on ILR before she can apply for citizenship

Can anybody confirm please ?

[SSWSZ]

As a British spouse the rule is u will be here for at least 3 years. The rule which says u should be on ILR for last 1 year is for others who are applying on 5 year residence category

Thanks for the confirmation SSWSZ.

Another question please and this time it will be stupid one as i want to apply my wife's naturalisation as early as possible after qualifying period. She landed in the UK on 01/12/2012 as my spouse. So she will complete her 3 years on 30/11/2015. Would it be safe to make an appointment at NCS on saturday 28/11/2015 ? I guess the earliest Home office can receive the application is on Monday 30/11/2015 isn't ? Is it safe to do so ?

[SSWSZ]

No home office should receive her app after 1 /12 /2015 . Also she should be present here is il physically exact date 3 years back on the date home office receive her application .

Yes. From this link which says:

If married to a BC, you can apply the same day you are granted ILR if you meet the spouse requirements which includes 3 years residence. Any legal stay in the UK counts.

Please go through that link where seniors have compiled good information.
