I am planning to apply for Naturalisation based on Long Residence + 1 year ILR. My 17 yo daughter got her ILR 5 months ago (after being my dependent while I remained here as a student and then Tier 2 worker). She has been in the country just over 5 years now.
The question: can she apply at the same time as me now (be incl. into my application)? or does she have to remain the full year on ILR and apply next summer on her own?
Also, if she can apply with me now. She is turning 18 in 2.5 months. Will this impact her application as probability that she turns 18 while at the different stages of the application is very high and subsequently be treated as an adult (in terms of naturalisation/BC requirements) or since the initial application was made while she was under 18 she will effectively be treated as a child even if the whole process take longer than her 18th DOB?
Many Thanks!!!
