I've attained British citizen through Naturalisation in 2019, my son was born in India in 2011, since August 2012 my wife and my son have been living in the UK with me. My wife is applying for ILR this month, should I be applying for my son's ILR along with my wife or can I wait for my wife's ILR application to be successful and then apply for the British Registration for my son after my wife got ILR.
thank you for your response.

Children born abroad are expected to apply for ILR along with the second parent and then register as a British citizen when at least one parent has ILR and the other parent is either applying for British citizenship or has already become a British citizen.
