hello! just sharing that my application was approved and BRP came in yesterday grateful to you all for your help/support with my application so thank you!

that being done naturalisation is next in line. however, i am just confused on how soon i can apply for that. Mark said before that I can obtain it "3 years after your first settlement in the UK", while Terpe also mentioned that "you will not be eligible for application for Naturalisation until you have completed 5 years living in the UK. would appreciate if you can please enlighten me on this? did my own research too and got confused even more. just had to ask as I am planning to go back home for Christmas and see how long i can stay without affecting my residence requirements.
btw, i arrived here 13 Aug. 2013 on fiance visa for reference.

thanks so much!
