Hello all,
I will appreciate some form of guidance.
1. I arrived UK in 2009 as a student. I moved on tier 2 sponsorship in 2013. April 2018 I applied for ILR and a year later April 2019 applied for naturalization. Application for naturalization is pending.
2. While on Tier 2 sponsorship, my spouse joined me in UK in 2014. This March 2019, she applied for ILR and she's was successful. Both of us now have ILR.
3. We had our son in USA, Oct 2016. At the time none of us have ILR. He was brought into UK Feb 2017 as a visitor. Applied for him to become a Tier 2 child dependant in Dec 2017. Therefore, 10 months spent as a visitor and 1 year 4 months on Leave to Remain as a dependant.
4. In all cases, Tier 2 sponsorship visas would have expired May 2019 but i moved into ILR so is my spouse. Now, only my son is remaining as a dependant on this visa, which is running out in few weeks.
5. My question: What visa should i be applying for him? I cant find a definitive guidance on this.
a.) Can i apply for registeration for him on discretional basis ? (One parent already applied to naturalise and the other settled).
b.) Should i be applying for a further leave to Remain?
c) should i be applying for ILR ?
I am hoping to avoid unnecessary immigration payments if i can circumvent it.
6. if my naturalisatio application is approved and i become a citizen before the expiration of current his LR, can i register him as a child of a citizen? I understand my wife will automatically qualify to naturalise at this point.
