ILR for kids with skilled worker dependent visa

Post by alialhoni » Wed May 14, 2025 10:26 pm

Hi
Father got ILR based on skilled worker visa.
Mom is still on skilled worker dependent visa.
We have two kids who were born outside the UK (before Father ILR). Both kids are on skilled worker dependent visas. They will be eligible for ILR next year.
Mom needs more time to secure English language requirements for her ILR. So I want kids to get ILR before their Mom...
If father becomes British citizen, would it help to secure kids ILR before their Mom?
Thanks

No, they cannot get ILR. Children do not have any residence requirement for ILR and they settle when both parents settle. They will strictly follow the immigration path of the less privileged parent and will settle with that parent. The father becoming British changes nothing.
Advice is given based on my personal research and experience only. Do NOT contact me via private message for immigration advice
