Hi

Could you please respond to my querries

I am on skilled worker visa
I came to UK in 2018
My wife and son came to UK in september 2020 (son born outside UK jan 2020) as my dependents
I have ILR and due to apply for naturalization in august 2024

My wife and son will complete 5 years in august 2025.

My understanding is my wife will apply for ILR and can apply for direct naturalization without have to wait for 12 months ?
Correct, once ILR has been granted.

Can my son directly apply for naturilsation once my wife has ILR rather than having ILR first and then applying for naturalization ? To avoid ILR fees
No, children born outside the UK are expected to hold ILR.

In case its must for him to apply for ILR - does he need to wait for 12 months after ILR to apply for naturlaization ?
No, there's no waiting period for children.

Any difference to my my grandsons in this situation like they cant be british by decent ?
If grandchild is born in the UK will be "British otherwise than by descent", if grandchild born outside the UK will be "British by descent".

Many thanks
