ILR for partner and child

saurya_s · Post by **saurya_s** » Mon Oct 05, 2009 11:14 pm

Hi all,
I am currently on HSMP and would be applying for ILR based on 10 years. My partner and child are on dependent visa. Now, once I get ILR, my partner will apply for ILR as we as she completes 10 year but after a month.
So if my ILR is successful, does my partner need to switch to dependent on ILR or can she stay on HSMP, completes additional month to qualify for ILR based on 10 years and apply for ILR then?
What happens to my child- does he automatically gets ILR as both his parents are on ILR or do I need to apply for a dependent ILR for him.
Thanks
S

If partner still has leave, then I believe that she may apply for ILR under Long residence, when appropriate.

Child does not automatically get ILR. He may apply for it.

However, for children born in the UK, immediately after a parent is granted settlement/PR, their child is entitled to register for British citizenship (Section 1(3)), irrespective of child's immigration status.

What happens if parents get ILR based on 10 years but the child has been born in the UK (and has been on dependent visa) before parents were granted ILR?
Thanks

Vinny and other gurus,
Can you please shed light on the child issue- considering that both parents will have individual ILR based on 10 years of legal residence. The child will be 7 year old and has been on me as dependent.
Many thanks
