Re: Guidance on Visa Extensions for My Wife and Child

1. Set M is for ILR after 5 years on the family settlement visa route. Your wife and child are NOT on this visa route.

2. You extend their visas as skilled worker dependent visas. It is a 3 year extension.

Re: Registration of child under 18 in MN1 form or alongside parent in AN form

You can add the child to your application.

The separate form you attempted completing is likely not the correct link or form.

Re: Naturalization application for child

As I said, we cannot see what the online steps and questions are so unless you post them, we can't really help. Form MN1 is for ALL children under 18 years of age. You were filling in the wrong form (AN) and presumably the form asked about LIUK and English test. Below is the MN1 form. You apply and ...

It is form MN1 for children correct.

Presumably, you are putting the childs name and details in the Applicant details?

Re: Tier 5 Dependent route to ILR

Yes, the dependent visa does count.

However, a skilled worker dependet cannot apply for ILR independently before the main visa holder applies for ILR.

They either apply together or the dependnet applies after the main applicant has ILR

Re: New Suitability Rules under the Immigration Rules – effective 11 November 2025

There is no such route as private family life. Family route, private life route and the long residence route are three SEPARATE routes to ILR. For 10-year family route, you need to apply using adult settlement form. Adult settlement: https://visas-immigration.service.gov.uk/product/settlement-adult ...
