Hi need a advice my 15 year old son and 14 year old daughter recieve ilr after 10 year long residence route both born in pakistan now my question is they r eligible to apply naturalization straightaway or they need to wait 1 year for that. One of the solicitor says u can apply staightaway because children can but i want second opinion because fees is too much .
Thanks in advance

i.e. overseas born children shouldn't apply for
registration as British citizens until a parent applies for
naturalisation as a British citizen, etc.
