The husband seems to be of the opinion that his spouse can simply be rubber-stamped as a British Citizen. Foreign nationals will need to become settled* for a certain qualifying period before they can become naturalised.
*Exact terminology may vary depending on the immigration route in question.
So the husband is wrong here? It reads to me there's stricter rules from EU citizens?
Not that the home office is very flexible for UK citizens on low income that want to bring spouses from abroad EU either...
