ILR on long residence but spouse visa since 2021

[zimba]

The advice is that the children should get ILR and then get registered after your wife settles. If you want to skip their ILR, their registration might be refused. This is all up to you

Thanks, in one of the advice in immigration boards, there is suggestion as below that section 3(1) might possible under 6.6, hence confusion. The details are below, kindly have a look
Kindly confirm, if this valid then i can save fees for 2 applications to make ILR rather direclty apply citizenship of naturalisation

If 6.6 Children who have lived in the UK for more than 10 years
is satisfiable, then registering under Section 3(1) is possible. Do it before their 18th birthday.

There is no confusion. As explained, the grant under section 3(1) is discretionary, so assuming the home office agrees to register, it is possible.

Thankyou, let me try the below route as kids will be completing 10 years in September 3'24. By that time Mother receives ILR , father and 3rd child (born in uk) hold British Citizenship (2022) and the children's visa are valid

I will follow this option

Option : WIFE - Apply ILR for wife on Aug 9th - same day.
Apply Citizenship for british on aug 17th (as it takes a week to receive BRP)
Children - Apply separately (without ILR) for children on Sep 5'24

question 1 : Children current visa (appendix fm dependent visa) valid till 2026. so will they lose visa status as mother moving to ILR in aug 9'24. is it correct. No issues for them to apply MN1 in sep'5'24

question 2: in the worst scenario if they reject child application for Mn1, what is going to happen. do i need to apply ILR for 2 children and again whole process of Mn1 for children?

Any other best suggestions in this tough situation. Thanks again for the excellent guidance

[zimba]

1. They will not lose any status. Their visa remains valid until expiry
2. Yes. In the unlikely event of this, they maybe asked to apply for ILR first. I think this is very unlikely if one parent is at least British and the other is settled by that point.

not sure if i select you(which is my spouse)
note : kids and my wife are on my ILR dependent visa(appendix fm). do i need to mention me in the answer?

[zimba]

These two questions are not really important. They are inconsequential

[testingksty2010]

These two questions are not really important. They are inconsequential

But please let me know what to answer for that?

1. is it 9 years 11 months or 10 years. i guess 9 years 11 months is fine as we are applying 28 days before
2. is kids staying with mother is fine? as its mother application

Thanks in advance!

kindly reply

[zimba]

You do NOT need to provide anything for your family at all. This is a known error on the SET(LR) form. Under the long residence, you apply on your own and you must qualify on your own. Your relationships/family do NOT matter. There is no evidence of address needed or ever submitted. Also, you do NOT need to provide additional reasons to stay in the UK. If you answer YES to that question on the form, the document list will ask for evidence of this which then could be confusing. The document list is often generic and inaccurate

[testingksty2010]

Thankyou
does any one how much fees for ILR application for children on set ILR long residence
children age (17, 10 years)

[CR001]

These fees are the same for all applicants, regardless of age or ilr route. There is no discount fee for children.

[testingksty2010]

Thankyou

for long residence ILR for adult appllication,
1. for signatures its only CONSENT form right for long residence ILR
is any other documentation required like ??
Declaration for spouses, civil partners, proposed civil partners, and unmarried partners
this form i submitted for FLR

i believe the above form for spouse visa. for ILR its only part1 and part2 declaration, is it correct
2. In part1, its applicant signature, is it correct
part2, its husband signature , is it correct
because iam submitting joint bank statements. is it correct
3. there is no necessity of part 3? is it correct

[testingksty2010]

kindly reply

[zimba]

For SET(LR), as explained above you are on your own. You simply sign part 1 only. That is it. For children, a parent will sign part 1 of their behalf

[testingksty2010]

But my wife has joint accounts in her bank statements, so husband to sign i believe. last time for my ILR, she put in part 2 signature, where as part 1 my signature
