were your children holding ILR before you made these applications ?
With general elections coming soon and the immigration topic being hot one, I think you may be right there would be pressure on the HO.fwd079 wrote:The HO personnel have certainly been under pressure now to be strict and apply discretion carefully.
In 2012 my friend applied with similar situation, work-permit holder then ILR, kid on ILR, wife on wp-dependant visa. He and his kid got Nationality without questions. But it was still on discretion, not anymore it seems. Really sorry to hear that, and good luck next time.
NCS does not service ANY advice, they just handle the application.iamnew wrote:Hi jojybaba
i am no expert but just learning from this forum. I think your case is very unfortunate. Sometimes case worker use discretion if children are very young. In case of your children i am not sure if major part of their life spent in uk. Also ncs may not have given you correct advice. If the guidance says one partner should be British and other holding or applying for ILR, this should have been checked I think. I don't think HO will return fees, but you can ask ncs to return the fees they charged
fwd079 wrote:Review as I said might help you but its highly unlikely. When one parent isn't settled then case is upon discretion of Case Worker, you can ask for review and request Case Worker to show their polite side, but it is still a discretion. Best bit is to go for Wife's ILR and then apply. As I said it was the case back in 2010-11 when my friend applied, but I guess its no more a thing they take lightly. Perhaps will remove this discretion in future law changes.
Before I applied for myself, I had this "feeling" that my friend's luck might just not be my luck, so even though my wife's visa was valid till Sept 2016, I went for PEO / same day appointment and had herself on ILR. Then I applied for myself and my daughter (we both were on ILR as well) and got approval within 30 days.
fwd079 wrote:Yes sadly its strict now for both parents to have ILR and one parent must be applying for Naturalisation if kids are born abroad. Otherwise its by discretion of Caseworker, which seemingly isn't exercised anymore.
Few years ago, my friend who went through Work Permit, had his wife on dependant visa and he applied for his naturalisation and MN1 at discretion for his kid born abroad, both got approved. He advised me to do the same but I thought its discretion so why risk it? So I had my wife on ILR first then applied for AN and MN1. We both got approved and it seems not taking the risk played in my favour. Really feel sorry for you.

You may as well be asking how long forum members sit waiting in traffic, it completely depends on the individual and their circumstances.
Your circumstances have absolutely no relevance to the OPs question and problem in this thread. Please start your own thread as the rules are different for children born in the UK and your post will create confusion.smir wrote:If one parent has ILR on long residence and others visa is still under appeal or in process
And childis born in the UK and age is 3 years
Can they apply for registration mn1 ???
Under which category ??
Please guide
