Hi all, I'm an non-eu immigrant who attained his ILR in June 2022 and my child was born in Nov 2022. I tried applying for his british passport online as I assumed that children born to parents with ILR are automatically british.While filling out the application only a question on ILR through EU sett...

Thank you so much guys!. Will be applying for a tier 2 dependent visa for my little one and will register her as a british citizen simultaneously.

Thanks vinny. My worry was applying for both at the same time would mean which ever application was made first may be automatically withdrawn, much like how it states when you apply for tier 2 visas .i.e they ask at the begining do you have any prending applications with the home office and if you d...

I was hoping for some advice. Not sure if anyone else has been in a similar predicament. I've just achieved ILR status (along with my spouse) and I havent applied for an ILR for my child as she was born here. Her Visa is expiring by the end of August.

thanks for the info guys!

one last question. can the switch from dependent to general main be made inside UK? or is it a must to leave the country?

I'm confused.. if there was no application of a tier 2 general visa before the dependent visa.. how does that make it a cooling off period. I.e the first ever general tier 2 application is made after spending a year on dependent visa... so does that mean.. I have to wait another year after the depen...

thanks CR0001,

Are you sure about the 6 year reset? so in the scenario posted by me, does that mean the cooling period doesn't apply either when shifting from dependent to general visa?

if this is true I'm quite relieved!

Could some one clarify these issues for me? 1.) IF a person who has spent a 1 year on a tier 2 general dependent visa shifts to his/her own Tier 2 visa (not a dependent visa) does it RESET her/his years spent towards obtaining an ILR or are the years spent on a dependent tier 2 visa counted towards ...
