Re: CAN I APPLY FOR ILR (M) NOW

With regards to the priority service, I am sure I saw people on the ILR visa timelines page who had the option of priority as well as super priority.
Not for SET M applications. The service is not available to your route.

Priority service is for the work based visas using form SET O for example.

That link clearly states the route applicable. If your child doesn't hold any of the visa outes stated, then the routes in the link is not relevant. You have also not stated what your visa route or the child's current visa status is. Different visa routes have different forms and requiments. It is ...

Re: PBS dependent Waiting time 12 months after ILR

You have posted the official ukvi guidance, which is very clear. Noy sure what is not clear.

You were also already given advice!

A person married to a British citizen does NOT have to wait 12 months on ILR and it will be an application based on 3 years residence and all requirments must be met.

Re: Dependent visa status on SWV route when main applicant becomes citizen

Her visa remains valid and she continues on her existing visa path till she qualifies for ILR.

If she requires an extension, it will be a 3 year skilled worker dependent extension.

She needs the certificate to apply for a passport. Children do not attend or have to attend a ceremony. The certificate will likely be given to your wife at your wife's ceremony if it doesn't arrive in rhe post.

Each aplplicaion is processed and decided on its own, even if a joint application is made. There is no such thing as a family application.

Just wait for a few days.

Fine to use a friend and explain briefly in a cover letter.

I hope you have evidence of your ILR BRP card, as her entitlement to register is based on your ILR and not your British Citizenship.

You were told wrong.

Bank statements are not accepted anyway.

Employment is not a requitment for citizenship either.

If your passport gets stamped, that is all you need.

Re: Urgent - British Citizenship application

It is not. The UKVI guidance is very clear. If your passport gets stamped, as yours likely does given you have an Indian flag, you only need the stamped pages to prove residence.

Whoever told you this is talking rubbish.

You do NOT need to submit council tax documents.

Good grief, you rushed to do something and withdraw when it really wasn't necessary. Why do you think you need to submit any council tax documents?

Do I submit ukvcas scans after the online application is submitted? Is there time limit to submit the docs on ukvcas?
Yes. You must upload them at least 2 days before your biometric appointment.
Should scans be black and white or colour for ukvcas?
Either, doesn't matter.

Re: UK born Baby ILR application

Do you not wish to register your daughter as British? She does not need ILR to do this as she is UK born and therefore entitled to Register when one parent has ILR.
