Hiya! newbie

.
You mentioned the ILR and that you still have a long way to go for that, are you interested in British citizenship after that also

Sally as to above I can inform you that as a spouse of a British Citizen who has passed away while you are under immigration control then rules of 60 month residency does not apply to you.

You can download from SET(O) from UK visas and immigration and can apply for ILR anytime after the passing of your spouse, also you do not have to meet the financial requirement or Life in the UK test too.

I would definitely advise you to go for ILR then British Citizenship which you could obtain 3 years after your first settlement in the UK, at least then if you decide to rent out your UK property it would be a lot easier that way.

Condolences on your loss, God Bless.x

Hi Mark! Thank you for this...I came across this information while browsing the website (gov.uk) looking for info on what to do when someone dies. It was a relief knowing that they give due consideration to someone like me who lost a partner and not to undergo the usual process. I have already downloaded the forms needed and gathering all the documents to go with it while waiting for my new passport to arrive. I will definitely be back here to ask more info as soon as i'm ready with the application so thanks again for the info & advice
