Thanks for your advice.. my father is around 68 and my step mother is around 65 .. quite unlikely for them to have babies now lol ..secret.simon wrote: ↑Thu Sep 19, 2019 7:33 amIrrespective of the order in which he married them, he can only sponsor one spouse to the UK. Therefore, as your mother is already in the UK, your step-mother cannot come to the UK on a dependent spouse visa (she can on some other visa, just not on a dependent spouse visa).
As your step-sister was born outside the UK, for her to register as a British citizen, both her parents would need to be settled in the UK (having ILR) and at least one parent should have British citizenship, before her 18th birthday. As her mother will not be settled in the UK, she will not be able to claim British citizenship purely through her father.
However, any future children born to your father and your step-mother after the issue of the naturalisation certificate/citizenship ceremony will automatically be British citizens by descent, even if born abroad.
Due to that last possibility, I am inclined to suggest that your step-mother and step-sister should be mentioned in the application form, but wait for others to advise.
Well, to the best of my knowledge, the second marriage is not recognised for immigration purposes, but is recognised otherwise if it was valid in the country where it was held. Others will correct me if I am wrong.
