ILR Spouse option

[VFF]

Hello Friends

I recently got ILR under long residence. I am applying for my son through MN(1) form.

I don't want to send my passport or brp card. Is it fine to send just the original approval letter and copies of bro and pp?

I have been told that I can do the above (using copies) only if I use NCS. Is that true?

My wife is in tier 1 general and will be eligible to apply for ILR in May 2016? Once she get ILR can she apply for naturalisation immediately as spouse of british citizen or she needs to wait for one year from date of ILR?

she will complete 10 years during next December so if I apply for her flr(m) and wait till dec 16 can she apply for naturalisation immediately?

thats not true u can send copies of your full passport including blank pages and brp with your child original documents .i did the same and got certificate without any problem .

yes she can apply for naturalization straight away if she is legally residing here for 3 years

she will complete 10 years during next December so if I apply for her flr(m) and wait till dec 16 can she apply for naturalisation immediately?

Your wife can only apply for naturalisation as spouse of BC once you are BC and have attended your ceremony. You haven't mentioned when you got your ILR and you need 12 months on ILR before you can apply to naturalise.

If she applies for ILR when she reaches 10 years long residence (december 2015??) It will take a couple of months for her approval. When do you plan applying for citizenship?

Hi CR001

Thanks for your reply, I should have been a bit clear with my question

I got ILR 5 days back and assuming that I will get my BC by May 2016.

question is once my wife gets ILR on her own right (Tier1 G or LR) can she apply for naturalisation as spouse of BC without waiting further 12 months after getting ILR.

Thanks
