Re: Indefinite Leave to Remain (unsuccessful)

It is your visa route that determines the form, not your partners current uk status of being British. If you were a Skilled Worker dependent for 5 years, the only form applicable is form SET O, even if ypu partner got ilr and citizenship. The rules allow this. Please click and read the link Zimba ...

Re: British naturalisation eligibility – spouse of British citizen (different immigration routes)

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

She could have applied for citizenship immediately after getting ILR.

Re: APPLICATION FOR ILR ON SKILLED WORKER VISA(HEALTH AND CARE VISA)

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.

Re: Query for Citizenship of GTV dependent child born in UK

1. Absence not an issue.

2. The baby cannot leave the UK while an application is pending with UKVI. It will be considered automatically withdrawn if the applicant leaves the uk.

Hi experts QQ:

Does referees which given in the application get emails to confirm their identity and relationship with the applicant?
No, not for the naturalisation application. Referees are not contacted.

This only applies to a British passport application when you apply online for a passport.

Re: US citizen (minor) steps to apply for UK passport

Ilr first for the child if they were born abroad.

Child can apply for citizenship when either parent also applies.

Cureent nationality of the child is irrlevant. There is no shortcut route for children born abroad to parents that are not British.

If an EU family permit is possible, only you can sponsor the child as an EU citizen. Your wife cannot sponsor an EU family permit, if this is even possible. You may have to go the more expensive route of the child visa under the family route and pay the visa fees and the immigration health Surcharge ...

Slightly vonfused - you mean the kids need to be here to be able to claim via this route? No, you need to be on the relevant qualifying visa to claim domestic violence. It applies to spouses of ILR holders or British citizens. Your ex doesn't appear to be either and you dont hold a family route ...

Your children will qualify for ILR when your spouse does.

No shortcut route to citizenship for kids either. They need ILR first if they were born abroad.

Useful to post the full history, just during the year of each application.

Also useful to state what route to ILR you are considering, 5 year, 10 year etc.

Re: Ilr query

I have split your post to your own topic. There is NO financial requirement for skilled worker dependents. A Skilled Worker dependent CANNOT apply for ilr based on 5 years residence if the main skilled worker visa holder is not also applying or does not already have ilr. The rules do not allow this.

The 7 year routes doesn't apply to you child. The child doesn't have 7 year continuous residence.

The child will follow the same visa route as the parents. There is no shortcut route for children on the work visa routes.

Re: UK-born child – passport eligibility

The child will be an overstayer if their visa expires but it does NOT affect their entitlement to register as British once EITHER parent has ILR.
