I am married to Brit, I applied on the basis of three years qualifying period. 3 weeks to get a result if succesful or not - then 1 week after you get a letter from Home Office its called a Citizenship invitation saying that you need to attend a ceremony where you will take an Oath and Pledge of loyalty to the United Kingdom. The ceremony will be arranged by the Local authority and in my case it was 2 weeks after we phoned to book the appointment.
Hope this info helps. Thanks
So within the 3 years are you allowed to go back to the Philippines or you have to stay the full 3 years in the UK?
