Applying for Naturalisation - Wife & Daughter
Posted: Thu Nov 20, 2025 11:10 pm
Hi All
My wife and daughter have completed one year on ILR 5 days ago.
I have started completed the application forms,
I have the following questions:
- As there is too much noise in the media regarding changes to the immigration rules, are there any changes to the nationality act which may be applicable e.g. salary requirements or any other new requirements which we need to fulfil?
- 'Are there any non-applying dependents?' I have two British kids. I have answered yes to this question. Is that right? I am confused as I am applying for my non British daughter.
My wife is currently the director of my company. I am not the director as due to my employment, I needed to resign as a director from my company and my wife was appointed. She became the director a year ago. However, she has been on the payroll for the company for over 7 years of my company.
The form asks:
Are you currently employed? I have answered Yes
what is the Occupation? I have answered Director.
Name of the company which I have provided.
registered office address is of a different city and the business address is our home address. Is that going to cause any trouble?
Employment start date: As she has been employed for over 7 years, should I give the directorship start date or actual employment start date?
Anxiety point: I was a director of this company since 2012 when I had Post Study Work Visa. After PSW I moved to Tier 2 with one employer, then changed to another employer on Tier 2, then had an extension on Tier 2, then got ILR on ILR (LR) and then received Naturalisation. I remained the director and 100% shareholder of the company throughout. I don't know if I was suppose to be the director of a limited company when on Tier 2. Will this cause any issue with my wife's application?
Adding child under 18. Does that mean it is automatically MN1 form for British registration?
For refrees: can same two referees be used for wife and daughter?
For daughter, school teachers and doctors won't provide the reference. Can the referees used for my wife be also used for my daughter.
Sorry for the long post. Much appreciated in advance for your help.
