Since the child is over 18, can he apply FLR(FP) by themselves on the basis of private life. As indicated below, they’ll be considered separately.
Put it this way, If the parent application for FLR (M) got rejected (what ever reason), does it mean the child (over 18) will have to leave UK together with their parent unless they can apply and issued with a different visa? So, If FLR (M) got rejected, can we try FLR(FP)?
FLR(FP)/private life has very specific requirements.
In any case, if your wife is a British citizen by descent and your British citizen by descent wife, you and the child reside in the UK for at least three years before the child's 18th birthday, the child can register as a British citizen directly under Section 3(5) of the BNA 1981 (but that application must be submitted before their 18th birthday).tanjong wrote: ↑Thu Aug 05, 2021 2:53 pm"You can only apply on the basis of your private life if you’re already living in the UK.
You must be able to prove that you’re:
under 18 and you’ve lived in the UK continuously for at least 7 years, and it would be unreasonable to expect you to leave the UK
between 18 and 24 and you’ve lived continuously in the UK for more than half your life
18 or over, have spent less than 20 years in the UK and would have very significant problems living in the country you’d have to go to - for example, you do not speak the language and could not learn it
25 or over and you’ve been in the UK continuously for 20 years
My child will be over 18 then so not eligible for the 3-years route to BC.secret.simon wrote: ↑Thu Aug 05, 2021 3:36 pmIn any case, if your wife is a British citizen by descent and your British citizen by descent wife, you and the child reside in the UK for at least three years before the child's 18th birthday, the child can register as a British citizen directly under Section 3(5) of the BNA 1981 (but that application must be submitted before their 18th birthday).
