A question about : UK citizenship

Hello everyone, totally newbee here so please forgive me if I am posting in wrong place title=Frown

I came to this country nearly ten years ago. United Kingdom gave me chance to gain huge life and work experience, some education, job I used to can only dream about, fair salary. For those ten years I've been working hard, paying taxes, never claimed any support or benefits, never fined - even for wrong parking title=Wink. And I think it is the right time to settle and full of proud apply for British Passport.

My situation is quite clear but I am little concerned about my wife - I am not sure if she meets 5 years rule requirements. She has been employed as follows:

11.2009 - 09.2010 - full time job
07.2010 - 11.2010 - part/full time job
= 12 months of consecutive employment.

11.2010 - 01.2011 - unemployed, but never registered, time spent for running house, learning (not as student, learning by herself) and looking for job

02.2011 - until now - full time employment

As I said, I am little concerned about that three months gap. Do we have to count 5 years consecutive employment from february 2011 or we free to apply even tomorrow?

Many thanks!!!

Best answers:

  • I think you really need to find an immigration forum - there are plenty on the internet for that kind of specialist advice. Or find a legal expert who specialises in citizenship rather than receive amateur (i.e. free but perhaps wrong) advice.
  • Its illegal to give advice on may subjects, eg Insurance, but MSE has a whole forum dedicated to it.
    If people were to comment on the situation, rather than advise, they would need to know things like if each of you are EEA or non-EEA nationals. If EEA nationals then the question of medical insurance comes up too. Arguably either way if you both have ILR or PR etc
