Re: UK Citizenship of my family

Correct.

It doesn't matter how long your wife has lived here. Her application will be based on 3 years residence as spouse of British citizen and she needs to meet the 3 year requirements.

There is absolutely nothing unique about your case, not sure why you think this is the case.

Re: Earliest application date for Skiller Work ILR Set(O)

Topics merged.

All advice was already given when the same question was asked last year.

Read the thread again.

The covid concession applies to applications that were made within the uk. This doesn't apply to your case.

Re: Child dependent visa and ILR question

The child can apply for ILR on form SET F once the father gets ILR, no need to wait till end of next year.

Child needs ILR before they can apply for citizenship.

You are overthinking completely.

The endorsement would have been correct.

This has no relevance to British citizenship either.

Re: Unmarried partner visa in 2013

Nothing you need to do and nothing incorrect in your initial visa endorsement, you applied to join a partner, as it says.

If there had been any issue, nothing you could do now 13 years later anyway to change it.

CP is for civil partner who has a registered civil partner, similar to a marriage.

She would have received a paper certificate that she passed it in 2009 and should have included this in her application as proof of passing the test.

They will be overstayers yes but it has no effect on the mn1 application.

They won't be entitled to free nhs, so get private medical insurance if you dont already have it.

Your case is NOT complex!! You are NOT an EU citizen and presumably your spouse is also NOT an EU Citizen.

You cannot apply using the EU scheme as you are not an EU citizen. Only an EU citizen can sponsor family under rhe EU scheme. You have to apply under the far more expensive uk immigration visa system for a child visa. https://www.gov.uk/uk-family-visa/child A very costly process which would not have ...

Re: Children's MN1 Registration (Section 3(1)) – One parent British, one parent recently granted ILR

Your children need ILR and you should have included them with your wife's ILR application.

At least 3 Members I am aware of have recently had refusals because they thought they could skip ILR for the born abroad children, an expensive mistake.

How old are the children?

How long (years) have they lived in the UK?

Children born abroad need to have ILR before they can be registered as British. There is no shortcut for them.

Re: Skilled dependents application, ILR and IHS charges in between

An extension is for 3 years as dictated by rhe immigration rules.

IHS is not refunded when you apply for ILR

Not sure you could apply for ilr and delay biometrics. You have 45 working days to enroll biometrics, so you would need to do the calculation.
