Child applying for citizenship along with parents
Posted: Tue Jan 21, 2014 1:39 pm
Hi,
went through the FAQ but it inst clear if a child can apply at the same time as parents.
my eligibility : 1.5 yrs WorkPermit + 3.5 yrs Tier1 + 1.2 yrs ILR.
wife came as dependent and has ILR since 1.2 yrs.
Our son was born in India and 3.5 yrs old.
my question is about when can we apply for my son.
(1) along with our applications OR
(2) wait until our application is submitted and application is in progress OR
(3) apply for son after our citizen is granted.
I did read that in certain situations its the discretion of the HomeOffice ..does (1) and (2) fall under this category.
Reading from the FAQ it seems (2) or (3) should be the case, but wanted to know if we can apply together.

thanks for the guidance as always.
