Hi,
I have to say that this forum make life easier for many immigrant on earth. thank you all for sharing your experience and expert advice.

I have to make decision for ILR application of my daughter but situations are little different.
Current Tier1 visa valid for all till Dec-17.
She is 7 years old and has been in UK for last 5 years.
Me and my wife are planning to apply for ILR on 01/06/2016(by post).
Hopefully we'll be BC by Oct-17.
as my daughter hold visa till Dec-17, do you experts think ok to skip ILR and apply registration directly after parents BC? or it is not worth taking risk?

thanks

Children born abroad are expected to hold ILR (be free from immigration time restrictions) before they can apply for citizenship. It is not worth the risk as if you choose to skip ILR and apply for citizenship next year, her current visa will have likely expired by the time you receive a refusal and then she has no status.

that's why you are expert!! I didn't think about the refusal and possible delay means no status for her. I'll take your advise to apply all ILR same time. thank you.

CHILD IMMIGRATION STATUS IS UNIMPORTANT PROVIDED THE CHILD IS LESS THAN 10 YEARS AND BOTH PARENTS ARE BRITISH CITIZEN/ ONE PARENT BRITISH& THE OTHER SETTLED (SOMETIMES ONE PARENT BRITISH AND THE OTHER PARENT WITH LEAVE TO REMAIN; THEN THEY CONSIDER THE TIES N FUTURE INTENTIONS).

APPLYING FOR ILR IS A WASTE OF MONEY. ONCE BOTH OF YOU ARE NATURALISED, U CAN REGISTER HER SO LONG AS S/HE IS NOT MORE THAN 10YRS WHERE GOOD CHARACTER COMES INTO PLAY

@BigDobby, why are you shouting?

And (as you well know as you trawl the forum looking for such cases), foreign-born children without settled status risk refusal as such registration (under section 3(1) of BNA) is entirely at Home Secretary's kind and bountiful discretion.
