UK born Baby ILR application

[Daisyjo]

I am Daisy, a registered nurse employed in NHS from October,2020. I applied for the indefinite leave to remain and also added my daughter(born here in the UK)with Indian passport as a dependent in my ILR application . Unfortunately ,I received an email from Home Office stating that at this time my dependant child does not meet the requirements to be granted Settlement.
And also my husband does not have Settlement.He will eligible on March 2026
I am writing to seek guidance on the available options for proceeding with my ILR application. I have been presented with three options and would appreciate your assistance in choosing the most suitable one.
They have mentioned 3 options mentioned in the email available to my dependent child.

1.) The first option is to proceed with child’s settlement application as normal, this will lead to child ‘s application being refused as they do not meet the criteria to be granted Settlement at this time.

2.)The Second option would be for my child to make a new application and vary this application to the new application, to do this I will need to make a new application for my child which is appropriate for child including paying all the relevant fees for the new application, once the new application has been received and biometrics completed and validated, their settlement application would be varied to their new application and a refund of the settlement application issued, we cannot vary or issue a refund until a new application has been submitted, paid for and been validated.

3.)The third option would be for me to withdraw my child application at this time, however there would be no refund of child’s application fee.

In this scenario, I am considering second option.Please ,can you advise me ,if second option is favourable to proceed for the application.
if I go with second option which one I can choose, ILR or dependent visa for my baby

I would be grateful if you could help me make an informed decision.

If the child does not have any visa left or their visa has already expired, option 2 is appropriate. The child will continue under the same path as skilled worker dependant and settles only when your partner does.

Link to application can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa/ ... d-children

Will there be any consequences whilst applying for second option .

I applied for the ILR and paid £3385 on priority basis for the child.While opting for the second option and applying for skilled worker dependent visa for my child .Will I be refunded the amount for the child’s ILR application .

I have applied for my ILR application on priority basis .,because of the ongoing issue and delay .And after I have chosen the second option and letting them know that I am proceeding with the second option .Does my ILR application proceed on priority basis.

Do I need to write any specific comment for the reply mail to Home office for choosing the second option .

thanks for the reply

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.
