1) She can apply in January

2) Fill the form out in her married name

3) don't worry. Send a boarding pass or ticket confirmation if you have it.

Thanks for this just follow up on number (2) do we need do the deed poll or decleartion from solicitor to show name change?

Under UK law a marriage certificate is enough for a woman to change her name.

Hi Victoria, I have a similar question - I hope it is okay to post here.

I entered the UK on September 25 2008 on a Student visa to pursue a Masters Degree. After I completed my degree in September 2009, I applied for a Tier 1 post-study work visa which i was granted on December 17, 2009. I then got married in May 2010 to a British citizen (after obtaining a certificate of approval) and moved onto a Spouse visa which expired on August 18 of this year. I went on to apply for indefinite leave to remain and just received confirmation of this in the post about 15 minutes ago (lol!)

Am I correct in assuming that my 3 year qualifying period for naturalisation is completed by December 17 of this year? Can I go ahead and apply for naturalisation after December 17? I have not been out of the country for longer than a month or so in the entire 3 year period.

Thanks ever so much for your help!

Best,
Eiman

No...your three year qualifying period was up on 25th September 2011!  You can apply now!
