Nope she can apply soon 3 years and one day i think it is.Originally Posted by joebloggs
your misses got citizenship yet andy ?
i'm applying for the misses soon as shes taken her plab exam in london end of next month
i'm not hanging around til next year when they start this 'probationary citizenship'and i'm wondering what the fee will be, and what else is lined up. i think it could be the death of ILR as we know it, and it will be probationary citizenship, and maybe only valid for x years, so you have to become a citizen or apply and pay again. that will get rid of the people in no mansland who have ILR, and are not a temp visitor or not being a citizen.
The great saving drive for the next fee is still in progress
In principle i agree with the become a Brit or move on. But i know of examples of couples where one stays a motherland citzen for reasons such as when the Indians were hounded out of Africa. Many of the generation who were hounded up are some of the people who love and respect the UK the most.
Left massive mental scars with people and many people found it hard to just be one or the other. Also many indians untill quite recently could either be British or Indian so one kept the indian citzenship up just in case required.
I would not be surprised if some phill couples in the UK do this one stays a Phill with ilr and the other gets British citzenship for various reasons.
