Well you'll need to have applied for and been granted British Citizenship before qualifying to apply for a British passport. Unless you're married to a British citizen you'll need to wait for 12 months after receiving ILR.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

If you are granted ILR in 2016 & are not married to a British citizen then you may apply to be naturalised as a British citizen in 2017 (one year after ILR is granted). Once naturalised you may apply for a British passport.

Do read the information published on the FAQ sticky threads on this forum and the home office website for requirements.
