if both parents( mother and father ) have ILR and my daughter is also ILR then is it okay to fill MN1?

How long has the child been in the UK?

If the child has been in the UK for more than 10 years, then yes.

I had no idea, upon Naturalisation - I have to immediately claim a British Passport or RoA-COE. That is not true. You only need to apply for one or the other if you need to re-enter the UK, and really only if you are a visa national. Your profile flag suggests that you are Australian. So you should...

The gov website says something about the 90-day limit in the last year That is for a naturalisation application. Note that ILR and naturalisation are separate processes, under different laws and with different requirements, and assessed differently. ILR may have different absence requirements, and ...

Northern Ireland is a part of the UK and Pre-Settled Status is valid over there as well. However, you can't travel to the Republic of Ireland based on your Pre-Settled Status, even though there are no border checks. That will require a visa, as Pre-Settled Status is a status limited to the UK. You c...

Regarding ILR dependent visa, children are following the status of least privileged parent, which is your wife, in this case. That is true of children born outside the UK . In this case, the child was born in the UK, so it may (I am not absolutely certain) be able to follow the path of the most-pri...

Is it fine to have the child, who's born in the UK, reside in the UK without a legal residence status while their citizenship application (MN1) is under progress ? I've got my ILR in Feb 24, and the current dependent status of my child is coming to an end in June 2024. So he'll be without a residen...

PS. Also factor in time applying/waiting for your passport from HMPO (not UKVI), for which no acceleration is available for first passports. I am going to emphasise this point, because a UK naturalisation certificate will almost certainly not be recognised outside the UK. You will need to apply for...

Sources for meeting the financial requirement Where the applicant has to meet the minimum income requirement, the financial requirement can generally be met in the following 5 ways: income from salaried or non-salaried employment of the partner (and/or the applicant if they are in the UK with permi...

Why would the Indian Government not renew your sons’ passports? India allows children to keep Indian nationality until they are 18 when they can choose. How old are your sons? The Indian government has recently changed its interpretation of the law (I believe, but am not sure, that there has been n...

No I had not lived with him as I was studying at the time and working. We were doing long distance and with COVID we couldn't get married prior to December 2020, even though we were Islamically married in 2019. Which I know isn't plausible under UK law as 'married'. OK. In that case, you'll need to...

However, they may not accept a relationship as durable without a relevant document?

I think so too. I was just thinking out aloud and exploring that possibility.

(iii) did not receive assistance from public funds towards the cost of leaving the United Kingdom;

That is to say that they left the UK on their own cost and they didn't have to be deported at taxpayer expense.

If you have ILR, presumably you were not deported at taxpayer expense.

I think the wife and step-children need the marriage to have lasted more than three years, with at least one year residence in the UK to qualify to retain the right of residence in the UK. But wait for others to advise.

@vinny, can the child not apply for pre-settled status (assuming that they are not a British citizen by descent)?

I got married to my non EU husband in June 2021 but had been with him since 2018 but still lived in the UK. Did you live with him in "a relationship akin to marriage", with shared finances in the same place, for at least two years before 31st December 2020? As for your son, I think you will need to...

wait until returning

This option.

* A letter from the doctor stating I have been bringing my children for treatment. * A letter from the temple stating I have been bringing my children with me. * A letter from an education institution (my children were members), stating I was responsible for my children's education and work. * A le...

If your husband was a British citizen on the date of birth of the child, then the child is automatically a British citizen.

Apply directly for a British passport.

For how long have the two of you been legally married?

And how many of those years have been in the UK?

This is an interesting question and I have gone back and forth on it, as it is not quite that straightforward. To start with, the first thing to understand is that there are two underlying requirements for somebody born before 1st January 1983 to have become a British Citizen on that date. They need...

I was reading this guide https://assets.publishing.service.gov.u ... t_2023.pdf The part that is applicable to your children, where neither the parents nor the children had British citizenship at the time the children were born, is on Pages 15 & 16 of that guide. As CR001 has advised above, Section...

Also see this thread , which you would have seen by clicking on the profile name of that person. You can also tag Megamma directly into this thread and discuss it with them, if they choose to respond. Note that nobody is allowed to refer or link to third party immigration services or agencies on the...

Each local council does its citizenship ceremony procedure differently (the citizenship ceremony itself is broadly the same in all). Some contact you first, some expect you to contact them. Some will give you a fixed date with no flexibility, some will allow you to choose from a range of dates that ...

i do not have any other proofs available such as p60 or gov letters You'd essentially need to get a few of these. Because you are the spouse of an EEA citizen, there is a good chance that your passports were not stamped on every visit to and from the UK and therefore they can't be sufficient proof ...

Since when was employment a requirement to apply for British citizenship? It isn't. someone was just told that utility bills, tenancy agreements and council tax bills will NOT be accepted as proof of residency. Council tax bills probably are. The proof that is acceptable is generally correspondence...
