citizenship applications are not immigration applications - if child's visa expires section 3c doesn't apply, so she won't have a valid immigration status.

So we have to extend her visa firstly to let her go to school and then register her the citizenship?

Leave will lapse , if an absence exceeds 2 years. May I ask if you are referring to indefinite leave to remain (ILR) or a spouse visa? Have you clicked the linked provided?? Key is the word "lapse"!! Yes. We won’t leave UK for 2 years. This is why my focus is on continuous 5 years.

Thinking out loud - maybe he can switch to family visa in this case? That's usually bad advice, but AFAIK it has barely any, if not none, absence limits, allowing your husband to qualify for ILR in 5 years. Other, more experienced folks, will give better advice - wait for their response. Thank you ...

She will be fine for schooling. No need to extend her visa, just plan accordingly for medical insurance etc. The school contacted us that they will need some formal evidence of my daughter’s right to live and study in the UK whilst her application is being processed. They said the Home Office may i...

Does anyone knows that whether submitting the citizenship application before her visa expiration date allows her to remain legally in the UK while we await a decision on her application? No it does not. Citizenship is NOT an immigration application. Once her visa expires, she becomes an overstayer ...

Hi, I have received my ILR (5-year Tier 2) today, and my child was born in the UK. I am planning to apply for citizenship for her, as her current Tier 2 dependant visa will expire on 13th October. Does anyone knows that whether submitting the citizenship application before her visa expiration date a...

Hi, I have received my ILR (5-year Tier 2) today. Over the past 5 years, my husband and child have been my dependants, and my child has been living with me in the UK during this time. However, my husband is not eligible for ILR due to spending more than 180 days outside the UK each year for work. I ...

Fortunately, UK-born children are also entitled to register directly for British citizenship immediately after a parent has ILR. They themselves may skip ILR when registering for British citizenship. OP doesn't want to register kids as British. I'm guessing it might have to do with losing Chinese c...

Fortunately, UK-born children are also entitled to register directly for British citizenship immediately after a parent has ILR. They themselves may skip ILR when registering for British citizenship. Thank you. I will try to let her get the ILR first. If she could not, we can try to get a British c...

The children normally can only settle when both parents are settled, so they will settle when your husband settles. They may get ILR via the private life route after 7 years of living in the UK: https://www.immigrationboards.com/indefinite-leave-to-remain/ilr-for-7-years-old-uk-born-child-t332032.h...

Thank you. Then that means my kids and my husband can apply for spouse visa and then apply for ILR in the future. Thank you for the reply. My friend told me even though there’s no absence limit for spouse visa, but if you are not in UK more than 180 days in any roll year, it’s very likely to be refu...

Thank you for the reply. My friend told me even though there’s no absence limit for spouse visa, but if you are not in UK more than 180 days in any roll year, it’s very likely to be refused when you apply for the ILR. Is it true? Thank you change to Spouse visa, is that true? Yes. If my husband chan...

Thank you for the reply. Another question for my daughter. She was born in UK in 2017 Dec She held Tier 5 dependent from born to 2019 July She held Tier 2 dependent from 2019 September to now. She will be 7 year old this December. Is it possible for her to apply a 10 year long residency or via the p...

Thank you for your reply. I checked the government website, it seems that after I get ILR, my husband and my kids can continue renew their tier 2 dependent visa or change to Spouse visa, is that true? If my husband changes to spouse visa, can he apply for ILR after 5 years? He’s away from uk more th...

Good afternoon, After holding the Tier 2 visa for 5 years, I am going to apply for the ILR in September 2024. Currently, my husband, and two children are dependent on my visa. My kids were born in UK. we just found that my children could not apply for ILR since my husband has spent more than 180 day...

sorry for this. I will start a new topic in ILR part for my children. I don't want to register them as British :) Hi, I am going to apply for ILR soon, and my husband is absence from UK more than 180 days every year. What about my children? They were both born in UK. Can they apply for ILR when they...

Thank you for your answer. My husband won't be qualified since he won't be UK for more than 180 day in continuous 5 years. Does that mean they will be Tier 2 dependents for ever?
thank you

Your children will qualify for ILR when your husband does.

Thank you for your reply. My children are with my all the time so they are not absence more than 180 days in any rolling 12 month period. Do you have an idea when they can apply for ILR? (If my husband are not qualified in the future). Thank you Your husband absolutely has an absence limit of 180 da...
