Ah! Could well be the confusion...thanks,noajthan wrote:I sense that OP may be thinking of (of confusing with) registration of children in cases falling under section 3(2) or 3(5) of BNA ()
In any case noone is forcing anyone to become a citizen against their will.Casa wrote:Ah! Could well be the confusion...thanks,
No, I want them to have their citizenship, just resent the idea of renewing visa for 3 months before applying for citizenship.noajthan wrote:In any case noone is forcing anyone to become a citizen against their will.Casa wrote:Ah! Could well be the confusion...thanks,
So that in the future if they end up having children born o/s they could pass down citizenship. I have always valued my BC and thought I could help any future potential grandchildren.Casa wrote:Sorry that I wrongly assumed it was the children's father posting. Why did you apply for a settlement visa for your children?
Yes, that's why we have not applied for their BC yetCasa wrote:I will however post this UKVI guidance:
"It is important to know that someone who is a British citizen by descent cannot
“upgrade” their citizenship by applying to be registered or naturalised as a British
citizen otherwise than by descent."

Are you (parent) British by descent?Children whose parents are British by descent.
So my understanding is, if the children serve their time in UK for 3 years, they will qualify for the privilege of citizenship; (they are not British yet as Britishness only cascades down one generation - and that's you).Veronim wrote:Yes
Correct, there is no option for a '6 month extension'. It will need to be 2.5 years.Casa wrote:I'll stay out of the minefieldWould appreciate your opinion noajthan whether there will have to be a payment for a 2.5 year extension as I don't believe there's an option for only 6 months?
I don't think that there are any provisions to grant the children ILE. They were granted leave in line with their non British, non settled, parent.CR001 wrote:Surprised the children haven't been granted ILE!!
Although I see that in the BC document list the OP includes "Non-British parent’s Indefinite Leave to Remain"vinny wrote:I don't think that there are any provisions to grant the children ILE.
