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

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.

Re: CANNOT SEE 5 DAYS PRIORITY SERVICE OPTION

Spouse visa SET(M) ILR does not have the option of 5 day Priority service.

You only have either Standard Service or Super Priority.

This is clearly stated on UKVI's website - https://www.gov.uk/faster-decision-visa ... ide-the-uk

If you apply in March 2026, you are also required to meet the requirement of physically present on the 1 day of the qualifying period, March 2021, which you were not physically present in the UK.

Re: question about child benefit

it appears we are eligible to claim child benefit.
You could have claimed once you all had ILR.
However, just for reassurance, could that have any impact on the citizenship application?
No!
Is it something that is reported in the citizenship application?
No!

Re: Eligibility for ILR

The person needs 5 years on skilled worker visa.

Student visa time does not count for ILR based on 5 years, this applies to any qualifying ILR visa route based on 5 years.

Thank you Simon for your reply. Can he apply independently considering 7 years continuously in UK ?
No he cannot. He doesn't hold a qualifying visa that allows him to apply on the 7 year child route.

For dependents, absences only count for any dependent visa granted AFTER 11 January 2018. Any absences before that date don't count and do not have to be declared. Sonif she got a dependent visa extension at any time after that date in January 2018, then absence limits apply and absences must be ...

Immigration route to ILR is irrelevant. When husband became British is irrelevant.

1. You need 5 years on skilled worker visa route. The immigration rules dont allow you to combine dependent visa time and main visa time for ilr based on 5 years residence.

2. The 7 year rule does not apply to your child.
