Hi,
I was on Discretionary leave alongwith my two kids. Daughter 21 years old and son 7 years old which is expiring on 1st May 2018. The DL was granted in 2011 and had 6 years completed in December 2017.
I applied for ILR postal application using FLR(DL) for my daughter and myself, assuming that I will get the ILR before the expiry of my son's DL (1st May 2018). The fee was very high so thought that I will apply for my son's British Citizenship instead of applying for ILR.
I didnt get any response for my postal application yet. Do i need to make separate application for my son's ILR or shall i leave it and wait for my ILR and apply for his naturalisation once i receive my ILR.
If his DL visa expires and i apply for his naturalisation later on after expiry of his DL visa...... will that be ok?
or please advice me.

I may have missed this but was your son born in the UK and has he travelled outside the UK at any point?

My understanding is, once you have attained ILR you may apply for BC for your son as he was born in the UK and if he has not travelled outside the UK. I understand that his leave to remain has now expired but this overstay may be ignored/disregarded once an application of BC is submitted once you have attained ILR.
again would like further clarification on this.

Hi
Thanks for reply. After getting ILR as per my understanding I need to register him for naturalization and then apply for BC? Or can we apply for BC ? If so... which form do I need to use to apply BC.
Yes his DL is expired now and I am still waiting for my OLD

As per my understanding is, naturalisation is thr process of becoming a British citizen.
