Hi Everyone

Finally got the certificate today booked fast track passport appointment for tomorrow.

Got one question please help, on certificate place of birth is Romford and on birth certificate its Havering. Basically Romford is town and romford comes in Havering borough. Will this cause any problem in passport application.

Anyone who has applied for passport recently can please update what documents I need for passport application.

Hi congratulations your application has been answered in 3 months time i see which means HO is speeding up the process now. Just wanted to ask a few things. What was your situation like when you applied for mn1 for whom and how old? Did you or your partner had ILR or just one of you? Please it would be great if you let me know your case. Thankss

Hi
My kid is 7 years old , born in UK, i am EU citizen, (they get copy of my pasport, my indefinite residence card, mariage certificat and kids UK birth certificate).

One parent have to be permanent resident, irrelevant and waist of time to prove other one status.

Bare in mind that for kids 10 and over they undergo full character check.

Since information about both parents are asked on the form, are you suggesting the other parent's information could be left blank? especially if only one is settled presently?

[goodmann]

Hi Allesheikh
Are you and your wife both on settled status? Going by the wordings of the current MN1 Guide and the application form, both parents supposed to be settled before child can be registered.
Forum members, please imput on this

can I pls ask one questions. you said you wife currently under FLM(m) visa, I want to ask that when your wife apply for FLM(M) visa, what is the amount of financial requirements ? is 18600 or 22600? because you got one child although he have not apply for FLM(M).

I got the same situation as yours. my two son applying MN1 currently, still pending. however, my wife will have to apply for FLM(M) before her current visa (t1 G) expire. I have ask quite a few solicitors , someone said I just provide financial requirement 18600, because I just spouse one person, my wife. but someone said I have to provide 24800, because I got two boys although they are till waiting for the result of MN1. right mow , I am really confused , I can not found any official answer through policy guild.

So can you pls tell me how much you provide when your wife apply for FLM(M) . many many thanks.

[blacksky200]

Hey, I wont be able to help you much unfortunately.

Thankfully my finances were enough to cover both levels, so I did not have to think about which one I had to adhere to.

Have you tried calling Home Office to find out about that?

Hi Justin1106,

I thought my reply may help you.if your two son still waiting for MN1 decision then your income requirements would be £24800 otherwise you wife may get refused. Recently same happened to one of my friend and his wife got refused due to the amount was under the threshold required for 1 child they had.

My suggestions would be , do not apply if your wife has got valid leave still and wait until theirs come back then the threshold would be £18600.I am also in same situation and I am waiting for my kids mn1 to be done first.In my friends case they even checked and mentioned even though your child applied for mn1 but no decision yet so they refused her.

Can I ask when your wife's visa expires? When did you apply for your 2 kids?
