INDEFINITE LEAVE TO ENTER FOR CHILD BORN OUTSIDE UK

[layla1234]

Hi folks i have query on behalf of one of my colleague . basically he and his wife was in uk on Visa they both separated and wife went back home and gave birth to a child in 2011 they later divorced . now my colleague is British citizen and want to start process for his son who born outside UK to become British citizen . Can you please guide a right path to start from .

Can he apply for ILE indefinite leave to Enter for him ?

Or he has to apply for a visa for his son initially ?

Does he also need to show Full custody of child before he can actually apply any sort of visa for him ?

What are the requirement and how long the child has to stay in uk before become British citizen ?


Thanks

Child will likely not be successful in getting a visa without the mother applying and getting one too, which obviously is not going to happen if they are divorced.

Or he has to apply for a visa for his son initially ?

Only if the mother applies and is granted a visa.

Does he also need to show Full custody of child before he can actually apply any sort of visa for him ?

Yes. Sole Responsibility (click)

Thanks Cr001.

lets for sake example that his ex wife grant him Full custody through court in that case can he apply only for his son ILE without applying for child's mother . and what are the requirements ?

Hi layla1234

How is your friend getting along?

I am currently going through the same situation.

I am trying to bring my daughter to live in the UK with me.

I am a British citizen and when my daughter was born, I was on ILR.

Requirements. For a single parent, see also sole responsibility, etc.

Hi Vinny

What forms is that we need to fill out for the application.

I have to fill the followings forms from the information find online: APPENDIX 1 (VAF 4A JULY 2012) and the SU07/12 SPONSORSHIP UNDERTAKING.

Also I have to do an online application and book an appointment for my daughter in Cyprus where she currently resides.

Is there anything I am missing?

Your help will be very much appreciated.
