British Citizenship - Applying Spouse as a dependent

[s.ahmadabbas]

I am unable to find the answer to this hence raising as a new post here.

Me and my wife applied and got the ILR in different years, as and when we become eligible. Now we are both eligible for Naturalisation, can I apply her as dependent on my Naturalisation application or should we apply in separate applications?

There's no dependents concept for naturalisation (you will be British citzens with equal rights) - all applications are individually assessed - you can add your wife to your application but she has to comply with all requirements just like yourself. Or you can apply separately, even at separate times.

Thanks @alterhase58 for a quick response.

You both qualified so why would you apply for your wife as dependent? First there is no such a thing and secondly what exactly you want to achieve? How does it benefit your wife? You can both apply at the same time since you both qualify
