In 2019, I applied to bring my son to UK as settled parent because the mother left him as a baby to my uncle. I have been the only one with sole responsibility of my son since then..I pay school fees and every upkeep which I have all the documents to back it.

My son is now 12 years old. His visa was refused base on sole responsibility, DNA and they not certified that am the father despite that all his name in every application I made.

I appealed the decision and hearing was set to 05/12/2020 but home office turned up on the hearing day to claim that no bundle was sent to them despite that I sent Hardcopy signed for and by email which they acknowledge they received when it was sent to them...The judge asked me to re-send it to home office representative officer immediately so the he can be witness to it which I did.

The hearing was adjourned to February 2021, home office representative officer claimed she doesn't have or received any bundle from me then the judge order her to go and make copy for is own bundle with immediate effect .

I represented my son by myself to be able to defend my documents and talk about myself.

To God be the glory, I received the judgement and I won my case .I called Tribunal last Friday to know if home office appeal the judgement which they never do.

I will like to know what is the next step..Do I write to home office or they will contact me by themselves.

Please everyone I need your experience

The information is correct. If at 8 weeks mark no result, backlog or no backlog, start contacting HO.

My update in regards to my son Settlement visa.
I received an email from HO today to submit my Son passport with the official confirmation email with instructions sent to me for to visa Centre in lagos Nigeria as instructed by HO

Children are registered as British not naturalised. Only adults are naturalised.

If your child is an older child, UKVI expect them to have 2 years residence before applying, assuming you are also British.

I applied for settlement visa for my son in July 2019 which was denied and I appealed. I became British Citizen in September 2019.

I won the appealed in February 2021 and my son visa was issued in March and he came in April.

He is 12 years old.

Can he register to became a British straightaway or should he wait for how long?
