Firstly, I believe when you say PR, you are referring to British Citizenship not Permanent Residence (Otherwise called ILR, Indefinite Leave to Remain, which is what you currently have since Nov 2014).zaheeruk wrote:Hi
I need some information. I got my ILR last november and I think I will be eligible for PR this november. This is a question about my dependents. They are still on Tier 2 dependent visa which expires in April 2016. In order for me to apply for them, should I change their visa to ILR(or ILR dependent) or can I apply their PR directly along with me. I have two kids and one of them was born in UK. Can I apply for his PR directly with me.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks for your replyCR001 wrote:Your UK born child does not need ILR. You can registered him as British citizen now already on form MN1 under section 1(3) because you already have settled status.
Your wife and other child will need ILR before they will be eligible for citizenship (if this is what you mean by PR)
A child born in the UK does NOT require ILR first, there has been no change in the rules regarding this. A UK born child has an ENTITLEMENT to register as British and WILL NOT have any issue if their visa expires unless you have travel plans.zaheeruk wrote:Hi
I talked to a solicitor last week and he said that I need to apply ILR for my son(UK born) before I apply for his naturalization. Please note his current visa expires on 24/04/2016. If I apply now, can he remain in UK after his visa date expires as his naturalization is in process. I'm on ILR and will be applying for naturalization. My son is on Tier 2 Gen Dep visa
