Out of curiosity, how long did it take it for you all to receive your ILR and the citizenship as well please?

Standard processing for ILR is 6 months if you didn't pay extra for super priority (24 hours).

Citizenship varies, so best to get an updated timeline once you have ILR.

My dear friends!

Just coming back to let you know I got that my IRL in October last year. Despite of having a spouse Visa, which would allow me to apply for citizenship right after, I applied in June this year and I received approval just after 4 months! I’m very happy as you can imagine Ceremony has been booked for December, so hopefully the British passport should arrive by January. I wanna thank you all for the support and information all those years. I follow this forum since 2016 (since my fiancé visa!) so there goes 8 years! You guys are the best! It’s worth to mention my husband and I are married for nearly 7 years and we have a boy 4 years old, so all the visa crazyness was worth it by the way, anyone can share how was the citizenship ceremony? Have a great evening!
