Citizenship Application Filling Individual / Along with Family - Suggestion?

[gee8mail]

I'm eligible to apply for my Citizenship now. But my spouse will not be eligible until 27 Dec this year.

Question:
1. Is it recommended for me to wait until 27 Dec and apply along with my wife? (or) apply separately now?
2. I have 2 kids. Should I include them on my application now (or) should I apply with my wife on 27 Dec?

Given the recent changes in the policy and rules. I would like to take advice before deciding. Appreciate your reply.

The answer to this is tricky because only you can gauge your situation. If you think you are going to travel a lot from now and until your wife becomes eligible then apply now. Also how important is to get your citizenship? Waiting 4 months means minimum another four months delay.

2. I have 2 kids. Should I include them on my application now (or) should I apply with my wife on 27 Dec?

If they are minor then do not have minimum physical residence requirements and my suggestion is if you apply now include them.

Thanks for your reply. I'm not in an hurry. At the same time, I don't want to wait another year, if the rule changes which requires 4yrs of residencial requirement. Thanks for your advise. I will wait for some more views before I make the decision.
