Not possible under 1 year, not even 4 years.

Lexusgs430:


Picture the scenario. Boy arrives UK January, meets girl January, goes back to Nigeria April, girl sends all documentation June, boy puts in application July.
Application gets scrutinised but issued in November.
He gets his initial 5 years, what else does he need?

justwise:


Even if everything miraculously worked out that way...(which is rare) he will only get spouse visa first and its not 5 years.

Lexusgs430:


But he becomes a uk citizen eventually? So it's very possible.

Atmmachine:
if you live in the U.s you're automatically a permanent resident, there is no much difference between a citizen & a permanent resident, the only advantage of being a citizen is having the American passport.

Atmmachine:
I only know about U.S.A
You have to live in America for 5 years to become a citizen, if you live in the U.s you're automatically a permanent resident, there is no much difference between a citizen & a permanent resident, the only advantage of being a citizen is having the American passport.

But you can become a citizen in less than 1 year if you join the military

justwise:


Yes but it's not under 1 year as you claimed before.

Lexusgs430:


Once he gets his initial settlement visa, wetin remain ?

justwise:


Are you sure about that?

Atmmachine:



Very very sure

Atmmachine:


The link to how many years you will stay here to become a citizen ?? or the link to show you that dead people's identity are being stolen ??

Atmmachine:


Are you satisfied or do you need another link ??
