Thank you Jambo for your reply. I read that explanation before but it doesn't include my case.Jambo wrote:Check the FAQ (link below. Scroll down for the children section).
Your 5 years old child - was he born after you completed 5 years in the UK exercising treaty rights? If yes, he is already British. If not, he can apply to become British (together with his sibling). There is a fee involved.
Why do you say so?Iira wrote:I read that explanation before but it doesn't include my case.
ILR = PR status for EEA nationals in this case.In the child was born in the UK before one parent had ILR/PR, then once one parent is granted ILR, the child is entitled register as BC under section 1(3) of the British Nationality Act irrespective of their immigration status.

Well ILR is also subject to immigration checks. And ILR is lost if you leave the UK for more than 2 years.Iira wrote:Hi,
thanks again for the help. What confuses me is that I never thought that ILR as equivalent of PR. The thing is with PR, you are still subject to immigration checks. We both have PR granted but my husband's spouse visa still requires to reapply after 10 years. I'm not sure what he will need by then but, the visa expires at that time. My understanding is that ILR doesn't expire.
Kind regards.
Thank you Jambo for the explanation. With the amount of paper stuff we presented at 5 years, it did feel as if we were retaking it all over again! Who knows what is waiting for us at the 10 years renewal!Jambo wrote:Well ILR is also subject to immigration checks. And ILR is lost if you leave the UK for more than 2 years.Iira wrote:Hi,

His PR status is not for 10 years. Its the confirmation vignette that is valid for 10 years the same way your driving licence has an expiry date on it. You don't need to retake the driving test!
If one of you has the PR Confirmation from the HO the application is very simple (although not cheap). You can apply tomorrow if you wish.
