Hello moderators,
Myself and my wife have both got our ILR under the 10 years route. We have a son who was born abroad but has been living in the UK continuously since 2012(8 yrs). What does he need to apply for. Kindly advice. Thank you as always.

To clarify the info above, child was 3 years old on arrival to the UK, and he is currently 12 years old. Does he need to apply for ILR or something else? Thank you.

Apply for ILR on form SET F.
You have been advised of this previously already.

Thank you so much for the reminder.
I am aware that if a family member has a British passport, the dependent (Spouse) with ILR status does not have to wait for a year before applying for a British passport (Naturalization).
Question: If both parents hold British passport, does the child born abroad need to apply for ILR or can he apply for passport without applying for ILR? (just thinking of how to save money).

A child born abroad still requires ilr first.
