Child British citizenship application with expired BRP

Post by amjadk » Tue Oct 18, 2022 2:39 pm

Hi All,

I have recently received my ILR after working in the UK on a Tier 2/skilled worker visa for 5 years. My two kids, who were born in the UK, have their PBS dependent visas expiring soon, which were based on my previous PBS skilled worker visa.

Since I now have my ILR and my kids were born in the UK, I believe I can go for their MN1 (British citizenship) registration without needing to extend their existing visas which would expire by the time I would submit their MN1 application.

Could you please advice whether it would be ok to submit their MN1 registration application with expired visas or should I first extend their visas so their stay does not become illegal before applying for their British citizenship?

I would really appreciate your advice on this.

Many thanks,
AK

Just nice to have it for the NHS usage.

I would really appreciate your advice on this.

You can apply for registration without having to extend their visas, it's not a problem for children. You can also use the same referees for both.
All advice comes from personal research and experience and should not be regarded as professional opinion.
