ILR - children born in UK with limited leave expiring

[zain_mustapha]

Hello Gurus,

Before I am told about links where my query is probably answered I want to apologise in advance for my ignorance. However I have scouted the forum and didn't get an answer with clarity & surety.

I am applying for ILR (Set (0)/Tier 1 (G)) mid Dec. We are a family of 5 (myself/wife/3 children <18). Two of my daughters were born here in UK and limited leave similar to rest of the family which expires early Jan 2016. All of us back then applied for extension as we needed to travel last year.

QUESTION
While I know I can skip having my daughters in the ILR application and apply for their registration (MN1) as soon as we (wife/myself) get an ILR (god willing in Dec). I wanted to ask is the above true also for my children who already have LIMITED LEAVE TO REMAIN as my girls did leave UK and come back?

Thanks a ton!

Hi Vinny,

Thanks for your revert. I have gone through the link which captures a post from you stating:
"After a parent is granted ILR, child is entitled to register for British citizenship, IRRESPECTIVE OF CHILD'S IMMIGRATION STATUS".

Clear. So even though my UK born children have another passport, limited leave none matters and I can register (MN1 form) them once I get ILR. Too much at stake, so I'd appreciate you/other seniors can confirm my eventual assessment?

Thanks

Hi Gurus,

I have tried looking up info but none was confirmed. My Tier 1 (General) visa expires 11th Jan'16 and I am planning to book a PEO, ILR appointment for 14th Dec '15. My passport expires 1st May 2016 (less than 6 months expiry at time of PEO visit). Would this be a concern? For some personal reasons I cannot travel to London/Embassy to renew my passport right now.

Appreciate if someone can confirm from personal experience as well.

Many thanks

Yes, UK born children don't require ILR as they have an entitlement to register on MN1 once a parent gets ILR.

No issue at all. There is no requirement to have a certain amount of validity on your foreign passport, it must just be valid at the time of application.

Thank you so much Char for your clarification reply.

Thanks Char for your straight talking reply.

Hi Gurus,
I have read all posts concerning my query so I'd appreciate people gave answers here as opposed to sending links for me to peruse elsewhere.
Applying with my wife who has cleared the B1, SELT Eng test from Trinity College (ticked 4.3) whereas I am proving my English via the points calculator/UK NARIC has confirmed.

For 4.5 till 4.8 do I leave it blank assuming it is asking details of main applicant ?

Conversely should I fill details for my wife as I have all inputs to fill the boxes plus no where else am I putting her language test details?
Thanks
Zain

Children born in the UK DO NOT require ILR or a valid visa to register on MN1. They have an entitlement to register due to being born in the UK. Have a valid visa and traveling in/out of UK is irrelvent to their MN1 applications.
