Dual nationality and Spouse Visa

[ZD]

Hi all. I don’t know whether you remember my situation but I was waiting for my decree absolute before applying for my wife’s spouse visa. A few weeks ago my decree was pronounced and in about a month I will be heading to Pakistan.

We had our first child while my wife was in Pakistan and according to the British Consulate I can register our daughter’s birth and apply for her British Passport. At the same time, I applied for Pakistani passports for both my wife and child back in Nov 06 and on my next trip I will be applying for my daughter’s British Passport and my wife’s spouse visa.

The question I have is, should I include my daughter on my wife’s application form assuming my daughter has a British passport? Do I need to mention this information on the application form at all? Or is it perfectly acceptable for my wife to apply for a spouse visa and not include an application for our daughter? I’m worried that something like this might give rise to suspicion.



Many thanks.

Make sure you get your daughter a British style birth certificate (available from the British High Commission) as well as a British passport.

A British citizen child cannot be granted entry clearance, so you should not mention the child on the form as a visa applicant. If there is space on the from to include British citizen children then use it, otherwise put details in a covering letter.

This thread is more than 10 years old. The rules have changed substantially since 2007.

Please continue in your own topic and be patient, when someone is able to offer advice I am sure they will.
