Hi
I am on ILR and will applying for naturalization soon.My children are on Tier1 general dependent visa born outside of UK.Once I get the british passport, can I apply for british citizenship for my children with out applying for ILR?.Please help me with suggestion.

Thank you

Children born abroad are expected to hold ILR before they qualify for citizenship, which is an application at discretion.

How long have your children been in the UK?

How old are they?

What is the immigration status of the other parent?

On what basis did you get ILR?

Thanks CR001.Please see the details below:

How long have your children been in the UK?
Applied for Tier1 General dependent visa for kids on January 2013 and since February 2013 children in UK.

How old are they?
Child1 - 4 years,Child2-6 years old

What is the immigration status of the other parent?
Wife is on TIER1 general dependent visa

On what basis did you get ILR?
I got ILR through Tier1 General visa route.

Children will follow the same route as the other parent and will need to apply for ILR when the other parent does in 2018.

Thanks.So I will have to apply for tier1 general extension for children and in 2018 after ILR then to go for citizenship?Please let me know if I am wrong.

Spouse and child will then need a PBS dependent extension if their current visas expire before they qualify for ILR in 2018.
