Dear all ,
It is my first post and I would appreciate your help . I came to UK with my husband and 4 kids in 2015 . We came on a tier 2 general visa and after 5 years me and my husband got our ILR then our citizenship this year . Kids still on dependent visa . I would like to know if kids can register for citizenship now or ILR first ?? I knew from a colleague at work who had same exact situation that he applied for his son to get citizenship without applying for ILR first and citizenship was granted .

Thank you

Children born abroad are expected to hold ILR first. You should have applied for them when you did.

Children born abroad are expected to have ILR before registering as British citizens, unless there are strong compelling compassionate circumstances.

Also see this thread that discusses the same question.

If you apply for registration directly and are refused because the children do not have ILR, the fees are not refunded. So you will have to effectively pay for one ILR and two registrations per child.

Also, have you registered a second username to ask the same question again, both usernames posting from the same static IP address? Multiple usernames are strictly not permitted on the forum.

we could not pay for the all the ILR then and even now is too expensive for us . also , I only registered with my email because my husband did not want to discuss this issue anymore and proceed with the ILR applications anyway . I wanted him to ask if the fact that one of my children is autistic would make a difference to this child's citizenship application or even the rest of his brothers . He did not want to discuss this but I wanted to check though . thank you

This is completely irrelevant to an ILR or citizenship application. There is no shortcut route for any of your children born abroad. They require ILR first.

Please read the forum rules regarding multiple usernames. We are all unpaid volunteers on the forum and it is unfair to members who offer advice for multiple users to post the same questions under different names.
