First of all you will have to submit an application for obtaining citizenship. Once the application is submitted the state will grant the applicant the status of ‘probationary citizen’. As soon as the probation period is over the applicant will be eligible for becoming a citizen or obtaining permanent stay order. If you are an active citizen of UK the process will become smoother for you.

British Government encourages people to become citizens rather than becoming permanent residents. Therefore the process of acquiring citizenship is faster than obtaining the right to stay in UK permanently.

If you are planning to acquire British citizenship it is better to hire an immigration attorney who can easily deal with the complex immigration law. For those who don’t have an idea where they can look for an attorney, check the immigration attorneys directory and you will get good information about a number of attorneys.
