Thank you for having me.
I have submitted ILR through Tier 2 General for myself and family 4 weeks ago. I have not heard back from Home office. However, I am not sure if I should send the below clarification information:
My wife and kids are entitled for a second citizenship by ancestry route. However when they applied for it only my youngest child received a passport while my wife and other kids application for passport were denied due to silly reasons. When I filled their ILR applications I didn’t mention that they have a second citizenship as they haven’t got any passports. Of course, I mentioned the second citizenship for my youngest child.
My questions, do you think I need to inform caseworker of this? If so, how?
Thanks

This will not be an issue.
FYI Citizenship is not a based on having a passport. Passport is a travel document which also shows your citizenship. You can be granted citizenship in a country and hold no passport at all.

Thank you very much Zimba. I agree with your comment, the only challenge I had, is that I would not be able to provide any evidence of this second citizenship except a useless 2 lines court ruling that the immigration of that country doesn’t honour. So do you think I shall email the caseworker who asked me for docs earlier so it is not considered as hiding information?

Thank you Zimba. Would providing this additional clarification now delay the processing of the application further?

It isn't required. Why do want to complicate things when they don't have evidence of another citizenship?

Actually, I was going through my T2G visa application when we applied for it 5 years ago. I noticed that the lawyer back then
didn't include 2nd citizenship for my family, but in the additional information section he mentioned about the 2nd citizenship situation and provided a scanned copy of the court ruling. This is why I became so unsure if I should provide this information now or not.
