Q1: looking into following on MN1 guidance , children can apply MN1 upon 10 years completion without going ILR
Children who have lived in the UK for more than 10 years
Any other child born to British or non-British parents
Children who have lived in the UK for more than 10 years
Q2: for second i am confused do child can apply after 2 year UK stay if one parent British as they used word expert not required??Children will come within this category if:
• the child is in the UK lawfully
• the parents are in the UK lawfully
• both parents give their consent to registration (unless good reasons are provided)
• there is no reason to refuse on character grounds.
Any other child born to British or non-British parents
It is not possible to cover all circumstances under which the Home Secretary might exercise discretion. However, in considering any application not specifically covered
above
we will look at all of these:
• the child’s connections with the UK – we would expect the child to be free of any restrictions on their stay in the UK
• where the child’s future is likely to lie
• the parents’ views
• the parents’ nationality and immigration status – we expect either both parents
to be British citizens or one parent a British citizen and the other parent settled
in the UK
• whether the child is of good character
• the length of time the child has lived in the UK – we expect at least 2 years
residence (particularly if the child is over the age of 13) – this would be considered along with the other factors above, such as whether the child is settled in the UK
• any compelling circumstances
