[chandu_246]

Hi All,

I am applying for ILR along with my dependents(Wife and kid) on may 10th.

My wife is out of Uk for almost 3 months though not continuous absence.

Is she eligible for ILR with respective to absences in UK.

Please clarify?

Chandra

Hi Amber,

Thanks for your reply.

My wife and kid are PBS dependents since April 2010.

My son is born in India and is he eligible for Citizenship straight away after I get ILR?

Nope.

As your child was born in India the application for registration as British will be based on discretion under s3(1) BNA. The HO will expect:

- The child having ILR

- Both parents being British or at least one British and the other settled (ILR in your case) [applications can be made at the same time]

- The child being in the UK at least 2 years if aged 13 or older.
