Child born in the UK and main applicant will apply ILR next year

[Saray123]

Dear All,

Apology if this had been asked already. I just needed a more specific answer. Please bear with me.

My daughter was born last month,(August 2018) and I am yet to apply for an ILR in February 2019 or December 2018. We are not planning to go out of the country. Kindly help me direct what will I do for her to stay in the UK. We already registered her and she has a birth certificate.

Really appreciate your help.

Nothing you need to do.

Once you get ILR, you can register her as British on form MN1 under section 1(3) of the nationality act, which is an entitlement to register.

Thank you very much for your prompt reply. Just to clarify. I will not get a passport from my home country(embassy) for her? Thank you.

Also, I arrived here in 2013 and my wife and son joined me in 2016, then left the country for 7 months and came back in July 2017, will I include them to my application for ILR or they have separate application as my dependent? If it is the latter, when can I apply them as my dependent? Your kind reply is much appreciated.

No.

Assuming you are under PBS; your wife may apply for ILR no sooner than 28 days prior to the 5th anniversary of her initial entry clearance as your PBS partner. Your son will be eligible to apply for ILR at the same time as her. They may continue to extend as PBS family members until they qualify for ILR.
