ILR child apply citizenship

[kevin_imb]

Hello there,

My wife & me just had ILR approved, we did also apply ILR for 4 years order daughter mistakenly (we thought it was necessary as she was on dependant visa under tier2 while traveling around) , whose was born in the UK. Now, my question: Shall I register her as British citizen right away (if so which form please) or have to wait for 12months? Please help.

And last question is how long the naturalisation takes, as we plan to travel at beginning of May?

Many thanks
Kevin

Thanks, do you mean she can apply the citizenship immediately please? En, if takes 3 mths then we'd better do it while come back from the holiday, the reason I asked was worrying the cost would be more after April ?

Thanks Ali97, I guess the processing time might vary, any news on the price change then?

The price is £669 .

I did an application for a client and it was successful in 2 weeks.

They are really fast these days.

Thanks, Just worried if it will not get approved by May, we might have problem on travelling aboard.., will the price remain after April?

You can apply using NCS, they will photocopy all documents and return the originals to you, which means you would be able to travel.

Thanks CR001, I think NCS is a good choice.

[CR001]

Please bear in mind that the price goes up on 6th April. The fee of £669 Obie quoted is the current fee. I would suggest you get your application done through NCS soon so that HO receives it before the 6th April.

ok, my indentation was to check if she can apply citizenship straight away on the case, if so, I would book appointment with NCS soon to avoid additional charges, many thanks CR001

By the way, can you advise docs I would need to provide please?
