Your friend is mistaken about applying early. You can apply 28 days early for ILR but for naturalisation you need to comply strictly with the rules.

UKBA say that you must have been

I would strongly advise you to familiarise yourself with the application form and guidance notes for naturalisation as there may be other issues you need to comply with.

We also used the checking service and found them to be really most helpful. It saved us a lot of worry and hasle and gave us confidence that all was well with our application.
It does cost money, but we considered it to be worth it especially as my wife was able to retain her passport and other key pieces of ID.

Good luck
That's what I thought Terpe... I was actually reading the application form AN and it didn't say anything I can apply early. Many thanks for your help. God bless!
