Circumstances:
I, my wife, and our <2 years old daughter had come to UK longer-term in May 2011. (Came from Pakistan, hence non-EEA etc). We all qualified for 10 years SET (LR) recently.
Current visa is T2(G) for me, and rest of family is PBS Dependant. Expiring in Oct 2023. [previously it was T2ICT post 2010 - hence no 5 years ILR route].
I have two more kids (aged 8 & 2) who were born in the UK.
Questions:
1. Am I right in thinking that Mrs & I apply our SET (LR)s and once we get ILRs, then I apply for British Citizenship directly for my two children born in the UK - without applying for their ILR.
2. My wife will also apply SET (LR), on her 10 years LR merit. To show that her stay on current visa was lawful i.e. she was my dependant all this time and lived with me. What sort of documents we shall add? Child birth certs, some bills showing her name, insurance policy with her name, etc. Or is there anything specific needed here that I am missing?
3. For my 11 years old daughter can I wait for Mrs' & mine possible British Citizenship by Oct 2023, and then apply for daughter's citizenship directly (i.e. without having her an ILR). [travel risks aside].
Thanks in advance for all the expert advice.
