Thank you for the explanation.vinny wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2024 5:10 pmI doubt that they will accept that you will have sole responsibility over the child.
However, if child was born in the UK, then s/he will be entitled to register for British citizenship immediately after you are granted ILR, without requiring her/him to apply for any permission to stay. However, do get adequate health insurance cover for child.
Else, if child was not born in the UK, then child should extend with mother.
I don’t think that wife may extend for only one year. After you succeed in getting ILR, SW 36.1(b) will extend her permission 3 years.
A UK born child has an entitlement to register as British once either parent is granted ILR. They do NOT need a valid visa to apply for citizenship either. Applying for citizenship before visa expiring is completely irrelevant as citizenship is NOT an immigration application and therefore section 3C does not apply, ie visa conditions continue if visa expires.I will be eligible for ILR in May 2026, I will mention to Home office that wife (mother of baby) will apply for her extension of visa closer to visa expiry which is July 2026. In this case, the baby will be granted a visa till July 2026. I will apply for ILR with an urgent fee in May 2026 and will apply for baby British Citizenship straightaway before her visa gets expires in July 2026. Legally, the application needs to be made before the visa expiry date only (not a decision should be done before visa expiry), correct?
You don't get a refund if applying for ILR. For an extension for your spouse, it is a 3 year extension and you have to pay the appropriate fees. There is also no 'exceeds 6 years' rule for dependents. Not sure where you get this idea from.Regarding the extension of wife stay for 3 years, do I need to pay again IHS for 3 years (£1035 x 3). I have already paid her IHS for 4 years so I believe I will get a refund for 1 year or 2 years as the home office will refund IHS payment if exceeds 6 years. Please suggest.
