Hi All,
I hope you are all well.
I have indefinite leave to remain but my wife is still on PBS dependent residence. Two weeks ago my wife gave birth and the new baby boy is by default a British citizen as I got my ILR a month before he was born.
My question, can she apply for FLR(FP) as a mother of a British citizen? is there any rule that the child must have been living in the UK for 7 years or more?
The reason why we need to apply for FLR(FP) instead of FLR(M) is that I am on my last month notice with the current employer and going to do a PhD. Do you think I can still apply with FLR(M) while I am in my last month employment notice as my salary was high? Note, I got my P45 form but the employer hasn't yet informed the HMRC of my definite leave, at least not before my last pay day.
Finally, what about Derivative Residence, it's much cheaper but can my wife get it? Please note, her second daughter is actually a Finnish citizen and she is +7 years old
Many thanks
