ILR for Child Born Outside UK

[Jycs]

1 ) Me and my Wife both recently received ILR
2 ) My son (6 year old) Born outside UK currently holding Tier 1 dependent visa valid till June 2017 .

Query 1 - Can my son travel with us outside UK for 1 month holidays and come back to UK with his current visa status ( Tier 1 dependent valid till June 2017 ).

Query 2 - Do we need to apply his ILR too ?

Query 3- Is it any issue or problems when we apply only Child ILR alone ?

Please advice and help.

Query 1 - Can my son travel with us outside UK for 1 month holidays and come back to UK with his current visa status ( Tier 1 dependent valid till June 2017 ). Should be fine as long as his visa is valid.

Query 2 - Do we need to apply his ILR too ? Yes at some point. Would have been easier if you included him with your application.

Query 3- Is it any issue or problems when we apply only Child ILR alone ? No

many thanks for your Reply

For Query 2 : Can we wait for Our British passport and then directly apply for My Son British passport ?

No, he is not UK born and is not British. Only a British citizen can apply for a British passport.

Children born abroad are expected to hold ILR (settled/free from immigration time restrictions) before they qualify for citizenship. If you choose to skip ILR and take a risk, you will be refused and lose the fee. There is no appeal route for citizenship.

A few users on the forum have thought they can skip ILR for born abroad children to save money (and took a chance) and been refused, lost the fee and the childs visa had already expired and the child therefore had no legal status in the UK.
