Dear Team,
we are family of 4 (me ,wife and 2 kids aged 10 , 6)
We (Parents) now qualify for ILR through 10 year route (with no issues at all)

Can both of my kids apply for citizenship directly (after we are granted our ILR , OR even one of us)
My 6yr kids was born here but 10 yr was a baby (+4 months)
and what the rule that govern this ?

Regards

UK born child can be registered as British once either parent gets ILR.

Child born abroad needs ilr first and can apply for citizenship when either parent does and the other parent has ilr

Hi Team, thanks for coming back
May I ask one more question please (final on this topic promise)

What if child born outside UK apply under the discretionary provision under section 3(1) ?
is it possible or no ?

A child born abroad can only apply under the discretionary 3(1) rule and they still need ILR first and one parent must be applying for or already be British and the other must hold ILR

There is no shortcut route.

The rules stated by CR001 are the rules for how the discretion in Section 3(1) is to be exercised.

If these requirements are not met, you need to provide strong compelling compassionate reasons for why these rules should be set aside for the child.
