Re: Naturalization application outcome delay

There is no group family process.

Each application, whether submitted jointly or individually, is assessed and processed individually.

Re: MN1 Registration-Born outside the UK category?

Other - apply at the discretion of the Home Secretary
It is only this option that applies to your daughter.

You could have applied for your daughter as soon as she got ILR.

Re: Apply for citizenship if you have indefinite leave to remain or 'settled status'

Are your dates correct???

February 2025 is long past already!!

There is also no 28 days early concession for citizenship, it is not an immigration application. ILR must be held for 12 months unless you are married to a British citizen.

Re: Most up to date process for referee declaration

I would strongly advised you against using chatgpt for any immigration or citizenship advice. It is deeply flawed. For naturalisation you have to complete the referee forms and the referees each need to sign their respective pages. These are then uploaded with your supporting documents. For ...

Your son has no legal status in the uk as he doesn't have a visa. You didn't need to mention him to ukvi either. Your daughter becomes an overstayer when her visa expires yes. Note that being overstayers has absolutely NO effect on their entitlement to register as British. They also do NOT need ILR ...

Re: Need advise on which type of Visa should I Apply for my child

You apply for a Skilled Worker dependent visa. The same visa category as your wife. There is no other visa the child can apply for. Had the child been born in the uk, the child would have been British automatically if you held ilr at that time of birth, avoiding visa fees and IHS fees. Also note ...

So only been in the uk for about 2.5 years. There is no private life here after such a short period so highly unlikely they would get such a visa.

Tell UKVI you will register ypur daughter on form MN1 once ILR is granted. They know the rules.

No need to say anything about your son as he doesn't have a visa and they haven't asked about him.

Re: 10 Year ILR address proof requirement

The long residence Set LR form does not allow adding dependents.

Your children will only qualify for ILR when your wife does after 5 years on skilled worker dependent visa.

There is not shortcut route for your children.

They won't qualify for ilr and will likely have to extend on flr fp, which will be a 10 year route to ilr if you dont meet the financial requirments
Not sure why you think they have to leave when you have already been advised there is a route if you dont meet the income requirments.
