What is your (the other parent) immigration status?

Guess I have the answer to that.

1. Child of a settled person or British citizen.
2. 27 months (302). Whether the child will need to apply for extension or ILR at the end of it will depend on your immigration status at such time.
3. Click on the link given in 1. above. See also UKBA in India.
4. No. Your spouse can explain in a covering letter that she is in India for the birth of the child. As long as the required documentary evidences are submitted, no problem.
5. VFS India
6. Anytime.
7. Why do you think / assume so?
8. Click on the link given in 1. above, read the application form and supporting documents guidance given on that page.

Thanks for the reply.
In the following link, its mentioned that child can apply only when both the parents has ILR.

what if only one parent has ILR?

When both parents have ILR, a child of such parents is granted indefinite leave to enter (ILE) (297 - 299).
In your case (ILR & PBS parents), the child will be granted limited leave to remain for a duration of 27 months (301 - 302).

Hi.

I will be eligible for ILR [HSMP (March 2k8) ->Tier1] by end of Jan 2013 and my wife will be completing 2 years in the UK by Oct 15,2012. She is pregnant and is planning to have the delivery in India (which will mostly coincide with the dates of my ILR application). She is planning to travel to India by end of October/ early November.

Could you please advice if it will be possible for her to apply for ILR from India?

thanks,

Is there a form for ILE? What is the processing time for this visa?
