Dear All

My aunt is British national and living in the UK.Her husband has ILR .She has 2 children born in the UK and other 2 born out side UK in the Pakistan.She has ILR at the time when 2 children were born in Pakistan and she was living in Pakistan.Then she came back to UK and had 2 more children who were born in the UK and holding British nationality.

The 2 children who were born out side UK came to UK on a visit visa in 2008 and they are in UK for more than 7 years.One is 12 years old and other one is 14 years old.

what is best visa for them?
can she directly apply for them to register as British ??

Regards

she was previously married to a British Citizen and then got her nationally because of her ex-husband.

Two scenario, before their arrival they could have come on ILR dependant visa if she was on ILR, or could have registered as British if mother was British by then, coming on visitor visa is probably incorrect but seniors can tell you better.

If visa is still valid they can register as British Citizens since mother is British.

I don't know what to suggest if they have overstayed and visa is expired, so this link might help.
