ILR DV 3 Years Married/UK - Can I Apply Immediatly

Post by tinkotinko » Tue Mar 12, 2024 12:12 pm

I have just received my ILR DV last month which is SET (DV) and I have been married to a British for 3 years and living in the UK for 3 years. Can I apply for British Citizenship immediately? We are not officially divorced yet as we are still legally married.

AFAIK you need to get a copy of your spouse passport and/or the signature - how are you planning to obtain that?

If you comply will all requirements then in principle yes. Clearly you need to provide spouse details/documents.
Otherwise you will need to go the five year route (i.e. not spouse of BC).
This is just my opinion as a member of this forum and does not constitute immigration advice.
Please do not send me private messages asking for advice.

You need to provide copy of your spouse's British passport, marriage certificate and address - if you have these details you can apply.
All advice comes from personal research and experience and should not be regarded as professional opinion.

If the spouse would cooperate. The OP needs a copy of all pages of spouse's passport. That would be tricky to get.
No sin in failing, you just have to try and try again!
