Can I apply BC right after ILR

[bhatti_pk]

Hi,

My wife got ILR in May 2023, she was in 5 years route to get ILR.

We got married in May 2017 I was in ILR at that time and In Feb 2018 - I got British Citizenship.

Now Does she have to wait one year in ILR status before apply BC or she can apply right after ILR?

Please guide

As per the guidance, recommend you & wife review: https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... n-guidance

While applying for Naturalization - she can travel out of UK on ILR visa?
