Married to British Citizen for 24 years, I got the kind of visa stated above for 27 months on March 2010; I passed the Life in the UK test. My visa is due in June, it is possible to apply for citizenship directly or I have to apply first for ILR?
If ILR, I have read here there are people waiting for 6 months for their visas! How can that be if they tell you to apply when you have 28 days left? Are these people overstaying? What about the time line for citizenship?
I want to apply but I can't give my passport away for such a long time, I have family matters that require my presence abroad on June de 9th and I already have tickets to travel... What happen if I leave?
