ILR or Naturalisation for kids

[omkar_m]

I have 2 kids, 7 year old daughter and 7 months old son

Kid 1: 7 year old daughter. She was born in UK and She is aligned with my BRP end date 24th Dec 2025
Kid 2: 7 months old son. He was born in UK and I have not applied for any visa for him as my plan was to apply for naturalisation after one of us parents gets a successful decision on ILR.

Myself and my wife applied together for ILR and the plan was to apply for naturalisation for both of my kids as soon as we get decision on ILR.

home office has sent us an email asking for the following

I must be satisfied with the travel, reception and care arrangements for your dependant child <MY Daughter name>. I also need to be satisfied that the welfare needs of <MY Daughter name> are still met once they are in the UK.
It has been noted that you have not submitted an application for settlement for your dependant child <MY Daughter name>
Please could you confirm if you intend to submit an application for settlement for your dependant child <MY Daughter name>

Could you please help me with this ?
What should I do ?

- Reply to home office telling about my intention of applying for Naturalisation for both of my kids ?
- Or should I apply for my daughter ILR application ?

What about my son ? Should I tell home office about the plan that I will apply for naturalisation for him or should I apply for his ILR ?

Tell UKVI you will register ypur daughter on form MN1 once ILR is granted. They know the rules.

No need to say anything about your son as he doesn't have a visa and they haven't asked about him.
