There is nothing stopping you from trying to go down this route and updating us on whether you were successful or not. But, as CR001 and alterhase58 have advised above, the probability of failure is very high. So, plan accordingly as to what you would do if the parents are refused the family permit....

I could be very wrong (and only based on observations on these forums), but, to the best of my knowledge, I do not think that priority/super-priority appointments are available for ILR based on any of the Long Residence routes. They are available for the five year spousal and former PBS routes (whic...

As this is related to Indian law on entering and leaving India, not UK law, moving to the Other Countries forum. I believe that India has physical immigration checks on both entering and exiting that country and you may well run afoul of one of the two. It may be better to apply for and get a Britis...

You need to scan all the pages of all the passports covering the five year period preceding the date of application.

Assuming that you are not either an EEA citizen or otherwise on the EUSS scheme, that will prove your absences for that period of time.

All the pages. To show your absences from the UK.

Post Brexit, your non-EEA wife has no automatic right to enter the EU, even if accompanied by the British spouse (you).

She will need the visa to board the flight or ferry.

It is possible that BA may not even allow her to board the flight.

Thank you for the very detailed advice, @ALKB. I appreciate the detail

I have made the person aware of the advice and he will reflect on it.

Do you have Settled Status or Pre-Settled Status under the EU Settled Status scheme?

The specific nature of the status held under that Scheme can be quite important.

This is a very niche and specific set of questions and I hope that somebody with knowledge of German immigration law can help out. The question is on behalf of somebody else, a citizen of an Asian country, who is qualified as an engineer and an MBA, and currently employed as the former. He is lookin...

Is the other parent of the British citizen child in the UK? Do they take any responsibility for the child?

There isn't a single "residency" requirement, but multiple interlocking requirements. For a start, you need proof of being physically in the UK at the start of the three year period (as your wife is a British citizen) before the date of application. Till July 2022, that was a mandatory requirement t...

It seems rather sneaky to claim the citizenship of a mother who was only British because of her marriage to a man who was only British because his parents were born in Scotland, but apparently it is allowed, for the time being. To me it appears absurd that a wife of a British citizen by descent cou...

Children are not naturalised, but registered as British citizens. For the child born abroad, they can be registered as British citizens when (a) at least one parent has either become a British citizen or applied to become one AND the other parent and child both have settled status or ILR, OR, (b) th...

If the children were born after the parent was naturalised, they are British citizens by descent and hence free from IHS (and of course the need to apply for a visa).

If the children were born before the parent was naturalised, they need a visa AND need to pay the IHS.

Thank you!

Then I can apply on the 18th of March 2023?

Yes, if you were physically present in the UK on 19th March 2018.

In much of western Europe, all residents would have been required to register with the local government authority that they are resident at a particular location. Was your mother not registered with the local government authority in Greece? If she was, an appropriate document from them would suffice.

A domestic worker would be expected to a clear contract with their employer. A copy of that contract would help. You'd probably also want to help the domestic worker set up a bank account so that there is a clear paper trail. Documents you must provide When you apply you’ll need to provide: a curren...

does she have to wait for 5y in the UK? Yes. To qualify for Settled Status, your wife needs to have resided in the UK as the spouse of an EEA citizen for at least five years . Both the marriage and UK residence needs to be over five years and overlapping. Any period of marriage outside the UK does ...

I think you and he should seek professional legal advice, ideally from somebody who is familiar with the laws for non-EEA family members of EEA citizens, to regularise your cousin's legal status in the UK, because at the moment, he does not seem to have any. Also, be aware that if the NHS Trust that...

As she is a non-EEA citizen, she will need to make the same application as a British citizen, proving sole responsibility, an annual income of at least £18,600 for one child (the requirement increases depending on the number of dependents sponsored), etc.

Even though she was in the UK for more than a year? Yes. Three conditions need to be met for the Retained Right of Residence to kick in. (a) the marriage needs to have lasted at least three years, (b) the couple should have resided in the relevant Member-State/UK for at least a year, and, (c) the m...

Are you legally separated or divorced from the mother? Is there a child custody agreement/court order? All of these can be submitted as proof of sole responsibility.

Is it safe for you to visit your country of nationality?

On any of the preceding screens (which we can't see), was there any question on how the parents acquired British citizenship? If yes, what options were chosen there?

Naturalisation applications are not immigration applications, but under different laws and regulations. Priority service is available for immigration applications, not naturalisation applications. And yes, you can travel while the application is under consideration. But be sure to have somebody keep...
