Hi,



1. Where to click a pic of such a small child. Only option is I click it at home and manipulate it according to the spec. Other is go for a professional photographer (costly option)

go to snappy snaps,my kids had pictures taken there for passport (they were about 1-2 months old at the time) and there wan no problem with them.
so I would go to snappy snaps again.

Snappy Snap, Reading, Berkshire charged me £8.99 to take snaps of 11 months old. The photographer has to spend about 30 mins to take a good snap of him. Appreciate his patience, its worth every penny.

Are you applying directly or using NCS ?

I contacted my local NCS and they said that my son [exactly same situation as yours] would need to wait on have ILR for one year before he can apply for citizenship, likewise your son he was born in UK and both parents and my son hold ILR since Jan 2013. I don't think that information is correct, what do you think ?

According to law, your can apply UK born child's BC as soon as either parent gets the ILR. My council didnt ask anything when I enquired about appointment yesterday.

I have a quick question can we apply any time after parents getting the ILR ?
as my sons has the T1 Genral dependent visa but its due to expire soon they are both born in the UK. so I can register them as BC. but do I have to do it before the old T1 Genral dependent visa expires or is it not requited to submit that visa as MN1 form does not ask for the curretnt visa status for the child ?

Both the parent has the ILR visa now. so I tried to ask the NCS and they dont know the answer to that.
