Applying British citizenship for kids born outside uk

Post by kihiq2024 » Sun Aug 11, 2024 9:39 pm

Hi,

Require clarification for the below questions

Father: Obtained ILR through the 10-year route and later acquired British citizenship.
Wife: On an FLR(M) visa, planning to apply for ILR.
Kids: Born outside the UK (before the father obtained ILR) and currently on FLR(M) dependent visas.

**Q1:** Can the children apply for British citizenship after the mother obtains ILR?
**Q2:** Can the wife apply for British citizenship immediately after obtaining ILR, or does she need to wait 12 months?

TIA

kids need their own ILR as well, unless they lived for 10 years
