When can you apply british citizenship?
Hello everyone.. Just a question.. I've got my ILR recently last 24 Nov. 2011. I know this might be so advance to ask, but I would like to know.. When will be my qualifying period to apply citizenship? 1 year after? But is it the date that they issue my Settlement visa? or the day you arrive here in the UK? I will really appreciate any reply. Thank you..

It is a waste.
There are so many clever Filipinas who deserve a chance to use their qualifications, and could probably wipe the floor intelligence and education-wise with some of the home-grown dullards in good jobs here.
My own step-daughter got 14 GCSE 'O' levels and 4 A-levels after arriving here at 7 years old and not even speaking English....plus another 3 years away in the Phils from 2000-2003.

hmm not cheap i doubt so..if your wife is too expensive for you..it just means you weren't lucky enough to find the cheap one the time you decide to tie knot
am sure you coudnt eat the food that im about to cook as i dont dream to cook for someone who got acne/ or diseases in their tongue/ or mouth
the recipe that will suit you JOE should be cockless mussel

the qualifying period is the year after your ilr was granted scottishbride, so if your ilr was granted on the 12/11/2011 you apply on 13/11/2012, that is if you come here on spouse visa that would be your third year and if your on fiancee visa i am not sure though if your 6 months prior to flr is counted ( for the old rule). Hope this helps.

I came here on spouse visa. Really I can apply after a year I've been granted ILR ( November?)? But I am a bit confuse... Because they said you have to be here 3 years right? I arrived here in UK December 18, 2009. My ILR granted earlier because you can apply 28 days before Dec 18, 2009. So That's why I applied November I counted back 28 days. Are you sure this is not a problem? looking forward to rapid response.

Oh and one more thing.. Do I need my husband passport? Because it said in the Application, it is either his birth certificate or Passport. I am not sure if he will be home in November.
