What i am not sure about is my younger Child... The child was born in Pakistan while myself and my wife both had leave to remain and our elder child was born in the UK, after his birth we applied for the his dependent visa , which took a while to sort out and then they all (Wife & Both Children) came to the UK afterwards.. .. Now i am not sure what type of application would be required for my Son ? . ZeeAli told me that it would be FLR(M) for him too ?? Not sure what would happen next in that case?.. i did asked this question to the Visa officer at PCO Birmingham but he wasnt sure about this and said it was a tricky one.. Not sure if rules related to him would be different as he is under 16 ? or what would happen to his status if i apply for my naturalization in a years time ? in all above scenerios... Would he has to spend 5 years before he can apply for ILR then ?
I am not sure if SET(F) could be alternative for him in this situation ?
Its a shame - what a long painful process... just because of the fact that the child was born born while we went for short visit, we have to go through this long processes and while Govt has started charging NHS fees.... ahhhh
Brother, i am not moaning about increasing the dependent's time scale from 2 - 5 years.. I feel it unfair that for illogical reasons they are resetting the clock towards the ILR for them... Also, there is flexibility in terms of discretion for kids born like in my case ..
Anyhow, it is what it is.. i will go ahead with the FLR(M) app for both of them... but i would also try to find out if someone has tried to challenge the clock resetting rules...
Thanks for your advice - Jazzak Allah
