British passport for my Kids

Post by Kartt_in » Wed Sep 03, 2014 12:49 pm

Hi,

I recently got my British passport. My wife and Kids are in ILR dependant status, which are about the expire in 4 months time.

They have stayed in UK only for 1 yr now, so my wife is not eligible for British passport (So I have apply for dependant visa again), but can I get passport for my kids. (Both are under 5 yrs)

Any help appreciated.

Thanks for pointing in right direction Jambo.

Q2: My spouse was granted ILR as a dependant. When can he/she apply?

Once a dependant is granted ILR, he/she is not a dependant any more. For naturalisation, each applicant needs to meet the requirements (including the 5 years residence period). There is a reduced fee when applying together.

If one applicant meets the 5 years residence requirement but the spouse doesn’t, then once the applicant is granted BC (after the citizenship ceremony), the spouse becomes a spouse of BC and can apply for naturalisation under the 3 years residence requirements.

This exactly says what I needed for my wife, but does it apply the same to my children(both are less than 5 yrs) too?

Kind Regards
