ILR for Dependants ( Kids) only

[Bheeshma]

Hi,

I am on ILR now through TIER1 General Migrant and my wife has been granted ILR too.

Now I need to apply ILR for my kids too (Under Age 18 ) .

Could you please advise me on the following which option should be selected while booking for appointment:

Appointment for: Settlement ( Is this correct)

Application Type: Set (O) or Set (F). Which one to be selected?

Kind Regards
Bheeshma.

[CR001]

You can use either Set(O) or Set(F).

My understanding is that less documentation is required for Set(O).

[Bheeshma]

Thank you CR001.

There was an interesting point raised by one of the forum member, discussion in this thread:

indefinite-leave-to-remain/ilr-extensio ... 70-20.html

ILR was issued to me last year i.e., Nov 2016 and its Nov 2017 which means that I am eligible to apply for British passport . Can I also apply British Passport for my both kids instead of applying ILR for them. Both Kids born in India.

If this is possible, I can at least save some money.

Kindly Advise.

Regards
Bheeshma.

Did you miss my response to the user that said you can skip ILR??

indefinite-leave-to-remain/ilr-extensio ... l#p1557323

Recently I came across one solicitor suggesting that if both parents are on ILR and if they are applying for BP
then their kids can also apply for naturalisation.. as there is no rule of 5 years for kids, I suggest to think about this on cost basis, I hope it helps..

Children born abroad, as is the case for the OP in this thread, require ILR before they can register as British (adults are naturalised not children). Also, there are residence requirements for children depending on how old they are.

Hello CR001,
in reference to your update, I am little bit confused, can not the kids ( born abroad + below 18) will be eligible to apply for citizen ship along with one of their parent who is eligible to apply while other parent is on ILR?

sorry not sure about acronym op ?

my only point is instead of applying ILR ( spending on Fees roughly 6k- 2kids) they can apply for citizenship along with one parent for less fee, if the parent is eligible for citizenship.

Thanks
KP

Children born abroad are expected to be 'free from immigration control', i.e. hold ILR. There have been many refusals for children where the parents through they can save money on skipping ILR. Children born abroad have no entitlement to register as British.

There have been many tales of woe by members thinking they will save money and skip ILR for children born abroad and apply directly for citizenship which is then refused due to not being 'free from immigration control restrictions (ILR)' and the children's visas have by then also already expired.

Should I mention "British Deputy High Commission, Chennai" for this? we made application in India and sent the applications to Chennai.


Thanks again for your help.

Set(O) is easier and less documents required. Why are you not looking at doing Set(O)??

[Bheeshma]

Hi CR001,

Thanks for your reply. Set (F) form is adviced for kids under age 18 mostly in this forum and I hence I too opted to use it. I hope I can use SET (F), just want to be sure please.

Can you kindly advice me on the questionnaries asked, please.

Thanks Again.

Bheeshma.

[CR001]

You can use either Set(O) or Set(F). Set(O) is simpler and requires less documents.

Please advise.

Hi,

Can you kindly give some thoughts around these questions please.

Bheeshma.

[CR001]

I am not familiar with Set(F).

Set(O) is much simpler but it is your choice to go with Set(F).

Yes, re 100%.

Yes on the fingerprints section.

Probably on they submit together question.

[Bheeshma]

Thank you CR001, you are always there to help, as usual.

Since I have chosen SetF while making an appointment with immigration so I am afraid to fill Set O Now.

Can You kindly help with this question as well please.

Do I need to provide 2 set's of proof's ( I am filling 2 SET F applications ,i.e one each) ? Like payslips, employment contract, Rental Agreement,etc?



I have another question please.

In the form, There is a question whether I provided support while my kids were in India. And they asked to provide the documentary evidence for that.


As my kid was in India between the periods 2013 and 2015, I have transferred money to the Bank in India and I have the E statements available to print and show as documentary evidence. Can I submit these e-statements ( Online PDF colour statements). Kindly advise.

Regards
Bheeshma.

[CR001]

As I said, I don't have much experience with form Set(F) so not able to answer your questions really.
