MN1 without ILR for child born in UK

My child was born in UK when I was in tier1 and have got a tier 1 dependent visa for her. Now I and my wife have got ILR, but we didn't apply for my daughter's ILR thinking we can apply for her MN1 directly.
The problem is , in section 1.3 of MN1 application form, you need to enter the date of ILR of the child. What do you do for it - can we leave it blnak or does it indicate I should have applied for my daughter's ILR too along with ours?

I just looked at the MN1 application form - section 1.3 asks to enter the date of ILR for the child.
What do you put there? Can you leave it empty as the child doesn't have ILR.

When we applied for Tier 1 extension I did apply it for my child as well, but I didn't apply for her ILR with ours thinking she's eligible for registration (MN1) as soon as we the couple get our ILRs. The MN1 form section 1.3 asks for date of ILR for the child - can I leave this field blank?

Form MN1 wrote:1.3 Please say if and when the child was given indefinite leave to enter/remain in the UK.
Note the "if and when" in the question. Registration under Section 1(3) does not require child to have leave. Therefore, you can leave it blank.

Please refrain from posting multiple instances of the same question.

hi kmore97,

I am exactly in the same boat at yours. I will be applying for my and wife's ILR next mth and plan to leave out the child and then apply for child's MN1 registeration once we get ILR. But I was looking at MN1 form and it asks for child's ILR date.

Please share your experience. Thanks a ton..

What, exactly, does the concerned question say in full?

Hi Vinny,

Bellow is what is written on MN1 form..

Many thanks

Section 1: Personal Information ----- Point 1.3 ----- Please say if and when the child was given Indefinite Leave to enter / remain in the UK. If the child’s parent is an EEA national, a Swiss national or family member of an EEA or Swiss national you should ensure that they qualify for permanent residence.

"If and when" is a conditional question. It doesn't require any response when an ILE/ILR has not been issued. Moreover, as explained above, the UK-born child's ILR is not required.
