Applying for a visa for a child born in the UK at the same time as extending my own visa.

[bradleybuck1984]

Hello,

I recently applied to extend my tier 4 visa. My wife and I had a baby last December, and I am also currently working on applying to get him a visa so we can take him out of the country (once I get my visa extension approved, of course). Will my son be given a visa that lasts as long as my extended visa, or will he only get a visa until the expiration of my leave to remain as it stands currently. I'm at the point where its asking me to pay the IHS fee and its asking for £150, and I was expecting much more since my new visa will be for 4 years. Will I need to apply for his visa now and then extend it before March?

A child born in the United Kingdom who is not a British Citizen and who requires leave to enter or remain in the circumstances set out in paragraph 304 may be given leave to enter for the same period as his parent or parents where paragraph 305 (i)(a) applies, provided the Immigration Officer is satisfied that each of the requirements of paragraph 305 (ii)-(v) is met. Where leave to remain is sought, the child may be granted leave to remain for the same period as his parent or parents where paragraph 305 (i)(a) applies, provided the Secretary of State is satisfied that each of the requirements of paragraph 305 (ii)-(iv) is met. Where the parent or parents have or are given periods of leave of different duration, the child may be given leave to whichever period is longer except that if the parents are living apart the child should be given leave for the same period as the parent who has day to day responsibility for him.
