naturalisation application

[Arish93]

i arrived in UK with my 10 month old son on Jan 2019, as a dependent of ILR person.

My husband was ILR holder and got naturalised as british citizen in 2020.

My son and i got ILR on July 2024, can you please advise when can my son and i apply for naturalisation? Do we have to wait until July 2025? Also can you confirm what form should be filled for naturalisation?

You both can apply now - fill in the form for yourself https://visas-immigration.service.gov.u ... onality-an then at the end you will have the option to add an extra application for your child. For your child which I assume was born outside the UK you need to select option "at the discretion of the Home Secretary". Remember to review the guidance for both applications https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... n-guidance https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... le-version

You can ask any questions you have in this thread.

Fees may increase after the 5 April, last time there was a fee hike it was in October. However for a few years fees didn't increase. It's impossible to guarantee what the fees will be or when they will go up.
