I applied my daughter mn1 on 24/04/2015
Friday they send me refusal letter. Stating that she is not having ILR/ILE

She born in India at that time, I got Ilr and her mom got flr m visa. My daugther got with till august 2015.

Later on I got British Nationality on that basis I applied my daughter naturalization and I change my wife wife to ILR.

Now I got British passport and my wife got ILR but my daughter visa expired on 20th August 2015. Please suggest me how I am going to apply baby ILR.

Yesterday spoken to home office, he said u can go for reconsideration or else apply for baby FLR FP visa.

Consult some solicitor they are saying that u can apply baby ILR by post.

PLEASE ANY SENIOR MEMBERS ADVICE ME.

Kind regards

If you hold British citizenship and your wife is gotten ILR as at when you applied for your baby then your child should be registered under Secretary of State discretion. Perhaps you didn't stated on the application form that they should consider your child's application under discretion. Having said that, you should apply for reconsideration under discretion.
Although home office rule state that the child must have been in uk for a minimum of two years. The application is not likely to be successful if any of these requirements are not met.

Hi Guys,
Applied: 30 March 2015

I received brown envelope today. I have have been asked to submit "original awarding certificates for qualifications in self assessment and new self assessment summary".
But it also states that there is annex with this letter listing down documents you submitted in support of your application and DO NOT send them back.
Annex is standard INFORMATION SHEET for KOLL and it lists all the documents which they do not need to see.
But list of documents they asked in the letter are also there in this annex.

Could you please help what shall be done in this case?
Also, please let me know if Life in UK pass notifications was submitted in Original via NCS for you guys.
There is no need of it again but if it is send in original, was it kept by HO or sent back with approval?

i dont know about what needs to be submitted in ur case but for Life in UK certificate is kept by UKBA in case your application is approved. I sent my orignal when applied via NCS, i was told that it will not come back if application is approved. If for some reason the application is not approved, Life in uk cert will come back. For my own safety i kept a photocopy of life in UK certificate.

As hard as it will be, you just have to wait! Even if you call or email Home Office they wont tell you anything unless you have been waiting for 6 minths or more. i know its hard but try to be patient. my husband applied 11th June and is still waiting. Theres still many people waiting from April and May still.

Going on 6 month waiting time you should expect a decision before March 2016

Applied separately as they requested on the initial day 20.08.15 that I had to provide proof that I am paying for the CCJ I currently have. The Registrar lady at Benfleet was really nice and helpful and she spoke to HO who stated that I needed to provide proof of settling the payment. Brought confirmation instalment letter and receipts of what I had paid as proof to the 10.9.15 NCS appointment. It's just waiting now.....

God bless!!!

Applied on 30/March/2015.

Changed address request sent to HO in Aug.
Update: 17th Sep 2015

HO asked for Original Certificates for qualification + NEW self assessment summary
Sent them Both.
Somehow was not able to see Tier 1 General category any more at HP website so sent the copy of old HO Self Assessment Summary.

Anyone with such case?

How long does it take for HO to come back after sending them docs in Original?

Thanks a jimmywaley2k

I send my application for reconsideration, and my daughter is only for 8 months in UK. I am waiting for reconsideration. If application not approved than, is I can apply for SET F because her visa is expired one month before; your advise would be much appreciated.

thnx SQ
