我在英国7年了.结婚2年半,老公是英国人,上周我刚拿到永居,我看 home office 的官方网站,又听很多网友们说是可以直接申请入籍的,但是我咨询了律师,他说any adult who wants to apply for naturalisation always had to complete a minimum 12 months on ILR. 觉得很困惑!!
You must be free from immigration time restrictions on the day you make your application. This often means having already gained settled status before you make your citizenship application. How and when you are eligible for settled status will depend on the immigration category you were in and successfully meeting its requirements for indefinite leave to enter or remain. For example spouses and civil partners of British citizens who must complete a 5 year probationary period under Appendix FM would generally have the opportunity to apply for naturalisation on this basis once they complete the 5 year period and obtain indefinite leave to remain provided they can also meet the other requirements of naturalisation at that time.
律师;P lz应该要求看一下他的qualification.
lz的情况可以直接入籍。你去ncs她们首先会问你是通过marriage还是通过5 years rule入籍。区别就在于一个是3年住满,pr之后无须finish 1 year free from immigration control;另一个则需要5年住满并且满足pr之后的1年free from immigration control.
入籍申请表格上也专门有通过marriage申请入籍的一个section。
