The child is NOT eligible for ILR directly. The child must apply for the same visa as your spouse and spend 5 years in the UK before they can apply for ILR when your spouse does.1) Can I apply for my Child VISA as a dependant or does get eligible to apply directly for ILR as she will be coming with my wife? My child is 6 years old.
Correct, a spouse settlement visa. Child applies for the same and will get a visa with the same validity as your wife.2) My wife if she is applying does she apply for a spouse to dependant VISA of an ILR holder?
That is correct.Sachin Raja wrote: ↑Sat Jul 04, 2020 7:26 pmI looked at the forum and it says the 5-year rule does not apply for children. Is that not correct?
A child born abroad will follow the same visa route as the less privileged immigration parent, ie your wife. A child can only apply for indefinite leave to enter if BOTH parents hold ILR or are British. This doesn't apply to you. Child will need 2 X 2.5 year visas and ILR after 5 years, same as your spouse.Can I ask if the wife is coming for good to live with me here and me being an ILR holder, why not the child apply for ILR directly, as one parent Is ILR and the other parent is coming to join the partner? I looked at the forum and it says the 5-year rule does not apply for children. Is that not correct?
No she cannot. You becoming British doesn't make her eligible for ilr either. Again, as per my first point, the child will follow the same route as your wife. There is no shortcut route for your daughter.Also if you say my daughter cannot apply for ILR directly, can she apply for the same once I get a Citizenship?
