Re: Online citizenship ceremonies?

But I am curious - do councils still offer online options (like they did in Covid).
No, it was only a concession during covid.

You now need to attend in person.

I think the application will be withrawn if we are submitting for ILR or permanent residency not for skilled worker child depnendent visa
You are mistaken. The rule applies to ALL immigration applications. The only application it does not apply to, is an application for British Citzenship.

Re: Skilled worker child dependent visa

If the child leaves the UK while the application is still pending, the application will be considered withdrawn and you lose the visa fee paid.

Your choice what you choose to do.

The most secure and simple solution would be to apply for your new visa from your home country immediately. You could not bring your new child to the U.K. without a dependent visa in any case.

Re: ILR date

Is the time spent waiting for ILR approval considered to be "free from immigration control"? I'm assuming not. No. Time waiting only extends the visa conditions you were on before applying for ilr. For e.g. we applied for ILR in October last year. It has now been approved after 5 months, so the BRP...

I'm unsure given the circumstances how I would've extended their BRPs before they expired because I would have, if I could have. They could've applied for ILR, same way you/your spouse did as kids follow the path of least privileged parent. But it's too late to cry over spilled milk. The children c...

Re: British overseas citizen how to get ROA,ILR or full citizenship

You would need to find a visa you qualify for that leads to settlement after 5 years, ie a skilled worker visa through a sponsoring employer.

There is no special concession for you. You are treated the same as any other non british immigrant.

Re: Can ICT visa holders have options to settle in the UK and obtain ILR?

The only route possible on your current visa will be if you and your dependents each accumulate 10 years long residence and meet the requirements. Alternatively switch to Skilled Worker visa if you cannot get to 10 years on ICT. Tricky sometimes when your children are adults, so think carefully. Who...
