MN1 question

Post by onionw123 » Sat Jul 29, 2017 11:00 pm

Hi,

My wife and I have got ILR since 2015, and two kids were all born outside of the UK. Now they have also got ILR and just backed to the UK one month. I now want to apply for BC for them.

Question:
Based on the guidance below from home office, are my kids eligible for BC if I am applying for BC together as family application. Do I need to get BC first and then children can apply because guidance is saying that Children will be considered if one parent holds British citizenship and the other is settled in the UK. But I am applying, my wife is still on ILR.

Registration at the Home Secretary’s discretion – Section 3(1) application

Children born abroad to parents who are applying for British citizenship
Where one or both parents are applying for British citizenship they may apply for one
or more children who are not automatically British at birth (see “Automatic acquisition
of British citizenship” above) to be registered as British citizens as part of a “family
application”. Children in this category will be considered at the Home Secretary’s
discretion and will usually be registered only if both the parents are granted or already
hold British citizenship, or if one parent holds British citizenship and the other is
settled in the UK


Thanks for help

If you all hold ILR, you can apply together, each on their own form.
