ILR for baby born in India

Hello admin,

Me, my wife and my elder son already has an ILR. Recently my second baby is born in India. We have received Indian passport for her.

1. What is the best route to get her in UK.
2.Can we apply for her ILR from India.

Thanks,
Deepak

Child settlement visa.

thanks,

I read some of the posts in this forum. Is Indefinite leave to Enter a different option from what you have suggested above?

thanks

It is the application link I have provided. If both parents have ILR, then the child will likely be granted Indefinite Leave to Enter. ILE is not a separate type of application.

Did you read all the bits in the link or just click on the first apply button found?

Further down the page it says the below with a link to the online form and Appendix 1.

Apply from outside the UK
You’ll need to prepare information and documents to provide with your application.

Apply separately
Which form you need to fill in depends on whether your parent has leave to enter or remain in the UK on a 5 or 10-year route to settlement as the partner of:

a British or Irish citizen
a person with indefinite leave to remain
a person settled in the UK - for example, they have indefinite leave to remain, settled status or proof of permanent residence
a person from the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein who has pre-settled status - they must have started living in the UK before 1 January 2021
a person with a Turkish Businessperson visa or Turkish Worker visa
a person with refugee status or humanitarian protection
If they do, you must fill in the Appendix FM online form.

If they do not, you must fill in both:

the online application form
the Appendix 1 paper form

Thanks admin, that was helpful.

I have now started the application again. I have chosen the option below.

"Non-British child of a parent who has permission to be in the UK as a partner or spouse of a British citizen or person settled in the UK granted permission under the Rules in place before 9 July 2012
Non-British child of a parent, parents or relative who are British citizens or settled in the UK
Non-British child of a relative who has limited leave in the UK as a refugee or receiving humanitarian protection
Non-British adopted child or child for adoption in the UK of a parent or parents who are British citizens or settled in the UK."

When I am applying as a child, at one point it is asking the address history.

"You must provide the addresses that you have lived at in the past 2 years."

The baby is only few months, she does not have 2 years address history.
I can't leave this field blank either, I am stuck at this step. please advice.

Thanks

Dear CR001,

Do I have to pay the Immig Health Surcharge for child settlement visa.
I was redirected to the IHS web page and after filling the details , I was told to pay the IHS of 175149INR.

This appears wrong to me, please advice.

Dear Cr001,

Please see below the response from my solicitor. As per your suggestion I proceed with Child settlement visa but, I was told I can't go for that as It can be used when one parent is included in the application.

Could you please provide your valuable guidance. I am stuck and distressed. Is it possible to have a one on one chat with you please
----------------------------------------------------------
Your baby cannot apply for a family visa under Appendix FM as both parents (you and your wife) are settled. I checked Indefinite Leave Enter. That is possible.

So potentially, there are two routes:
1. Indefinite leave to enter under part 8 of the Immigration Rules – application fees: £2389

2. Apply for citizenship straight away under Section 3(1) of British Nationality Act 1981 – application fees: £1012
For both routes, it takes up to 6 months to get a decision.
-----------------------------------------------------------

Thanks

Your solicitor is wrong and completely misinformed. I honestly hope you are not paying for such appalling bad and incorrect advice.

Child settlement visa is the correct one under Appendix FM. The child will likely be granted ILE.

There is NO form to specifically apply for ILE either and it does NOT cost £2389.

Your child does NOT qualify for citizenship if the child was born abroad.

Thanks Cr001,

What do I do next.
Is it possible to reach to you in person. or any reliable solicitor I can reach out please.
I understand you don't provide such details but if you could kindly make an exception please.

Thanks

I have provided you with the information you need to apply. It is not a difficult or complicated application to make.

Thanks CR001,

I understand it and thanks for that. However when I made the application, it took me to IHS and asked for a fee payment of 175000INR. that's where I was unsure if I am making the correct application. kindly refer to my two old comments where I did not receive any reply.

please CR001, if you could help me, a little more.

Thanks

Pay the IHS. If ILE is granted, you will likely get a refund.

Thanks a lot admin,

this has given me some confidence. I will make the application again.
Kindly keep providing your valuable guidance. Many thanks.

You don't have access to the PM function as a new member.

Also remember that everyone on the forum is a complete stranger and we have many scammers and spammers on the forum daily.

got it, thanks cr001

Dear CR001,

I did some reading overnight and made my application again.

Me and my wife both have ILR. However she delivered the baby is in India and is in India from feb 2021 .

1. Does she have to be present in UK when I make application for the baby for ILE?

2. I might have misunderstood but the Form asks the questions as if one parent and child is applying together for settlement. however that is not the case in this occasion.

please help.

Thanks

1. No. You do realise the application has to be made from India and not in the UK.

2. If you read the advice given in the topic already, you were advised which option to select. The child is applying as the child of parents who are settled. Not as a child of a parent also applying.
