you don't know what changes will happen to immigration law next year, and with the pressure on the gov building up nearly daily to control immigration, who knows what changes will happen in the future, natualization might become more difficult and expensive to gain. ILR, what will happen if they change it, say from 2years outside the UK TO 1, or change it so its only valid for a time period, the tories have already said they want to limit non europeans moving to the uk, i'm sure labour will try to, as non europeans are the only easy target in controling immigration..
my wife and stepson will be applying for naturalization as soon as they can..
