British citizenship when to apply

[aromulus]

Hi folks

my wife got her residence visa in january this year so when can she apply for british citizenship and how long does it take and cost ?
also my wife gave birth while here in uk and gave me a wonderfull son who now has a british passport but we was reading on the filipino embassy site in london they also class my son as filipino as his mother was filipino so does this mean hes entitled to a filipino passport also ?

thanks

Congrats dad and mum.....


I guess that the baby is entiled to dual citizenship, but I am sure that the other guys will be able to confirm that better.

citizenship cost £655 at the mo, but my guess is that next april it will go to at least the same cost as ILR and probably more.

so it might be a good idea to apply for it asap.


as for how long it can take, from a month or so to 6 months or more... but there could be alot more people applying before april, incase there are some nasty in store.
