Registering an infant on discretion

Dear All,

Currently I am holding ILR on Indian passport since 2013. My daughter was born in 2014. I am in process to apply for their dependent visa to join me in UK. Once my daughter is here I am planning to Register her as BC on discretion.

My wife had complications in pregnancy this is the reason I didnt bring her to UK prefered keeping her with her family. Also I have no one from my family like my mother (passed away) & my father has left us when I was 6 years. All I have is here in UK & we intend to live here permanently.

Does anyone think that case worker will consider my case? Do I need any special documents for her BC?

Thank you

What is the status of the mother? The case for your daughter's registration would be stronger if both parents are settled.

@faislondon, unlikely your daughters application will be successful as neither parent is British. Daughters visa will be granted in line with her mother's visa for 33 months.

Also I will apply after I get my BC.

Probably easier if daughter and mother are both settled too.

Hello Vinni,

I cannot wait for them to get settled since I will have to wait for 5 years I guess? I am not sure if I am right?. Please correct me.

Dependent visa for 2.5 years + Extention for another 2.5 years=ILR for them right?

That's correct.

Hi Vinni,

I read on one of the websites that my wife can apply for ILR after completing 2 years on dependent visa in UK if she accomplishes residency requirements. Is this correct?

So she dosent have to wait for 5 years. I will be applying for BC in sept 2015. But I guess this is irrelevant as I already have ILR.
