Child to apply ILR or Biritsh citizneship?

[Rebekah14]

Hi,

My 2 children living in UK nearly 10 years./ Born outside UK/ Parents have ILR and dependant visa.
Is there any way children can apply for BC escaping ILR in order to save cost? I saw somewhere they can apply for BC with same time with parent?

Please advise.


Many thanks

If they were born in the UK then they do not need to apply for ILR.
Please read this to know more - ps://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/up ... r_2015.pdf

Also read the FAQ section on this forum. From the FAQ:-

Does my UK-born child qualify for british citizenship?
Child born in UK before either parent is granted settlement: There is no requirement for a non-travelling UK-born-child to be included in the settlement application of the parent (that the child is a dependant of). Immediately after a parent is granted settlement, their child is entitled to register for British citizenship (Section 1(3)), irrespective of child's immigration status.
Child born in the UK after either parent has been granted settlement: Is a British citizen by birth.

Foreign-born children register at Home Secretary's discretion.
Settled status (ILR) is expected.
Cutting corners to save a few bob risks refusal.
