I have a British parent, got the passport about 15 years ago. Unfortunately my wife and child need visas to live here, we have to deal with that in a couple months again, and continue until they're eligible for leave to remain. I think my kid can naturalize in a while, but my wife will need to seek citizenship if Reform gets into power.
Honestly, just get the citizenship now, rather than later (if feasible); I know it's a different country so things certainly aren't a necessary one-to-one but my mom's side of the family is all immigrants and, while it might not be safe for much longer in the U. S., I'm thankful every day we're not dealing with a much more immediate Hell because they all got their citizenship finally 10–15 years ago, when conditions were much less pressing.
You're probably right. She's still a little burnt out on high stakes testing after going back through uni for a new career, but we'll probably seek it as soon as they're both eligible.
