I think they only become automatic British citizens if they were born before 1983. However they can apply for indefinite leave to remain if that is not the case. 1 Like |

Of course, you are eligible to bring your dependent(s) to UK even if you are on ILR. You just need to meet UKBA criteria such as having sufficient funds to take care of your children while in UK. You need to apply for entry clearance to join you or accompany to UK which I think should be successfully if you meet all the requirements. |

This page explains how your child or children can apply to settle permanently with you in the UK if you are a permanent resident here, or if you have been given permission to settle here permanently (also known as 'indefinite leave to remain'). There are additional requirements for adopted children. If you have temporary permission to live in the UK, see the Children of temporary residents page. Children cannot normally come to settle in the UK unless both parents are settled here or have been given permission to come and settle here. The only exceptions are where: one parent is dead and the other is settled or coming to settle here; or the parent who is settled or coming to settle in the UK has had sole responsibility for the child's upbringing; or one parent is settled or coming to settle in the UK and there there are serious reasons why the child must be allowed to come here. (The term 'parent' includes the stepfather or stepmother of a child whose father or mother is dead, both parents of an illegitimate child, and an adoptive parent in certain circumstances - see the page on adopted children.) Your child must show that they: are not leading an independent life; are not married or in a civil partnership; have not formed an independent family unit; and are aged under 18. If you and your child meet the above requirements, and you can show that you have accommodation where you can all live without help from public funds, you can bring your child to settle in the UK. Before your child travels here, they must obtain permission to enter the UK. This permission is known as 'entry clearance', and will take the form of a visa or entry clearance certificate. To obtain it, the child should apply to the British diplomatic post in the country where they live. For more information, see our visa services section. |

Can I go to live with my parents in the UK as a child? You can apply to join your parents in the UK if: your parents live in the UK legally, with no time limit on their stay, or they are applying at the same time as you one parent is living and settled in the UK or is applying for settlement at the same time as you, and has had sole responsibility for looking after you your parents can support you without help from public funds your parents have enough accommodation, which they own or live in, where you can live without help from public funds, and you are their child. For all of the above, ‘parent’ includes a step-parent where the father or mother is dead, either the father or mother of an illegitimate child and, in certain circumstances, an adoptive parent. How can I qualify to join my parents in the UK? You, or your parent, must show that you: are under 18 years of age, and cannot support yourself financially, are not married or in a civil partnership and are not living independently away from your parents. A child cannot normally go to live in the UK if one parent is living abroad, unless the parent in the UK has sole responsibility for the child, or if there are special reasons why the child should be allowed to join the parent in the UK. How long can I stay with my parents in the UK? If both of your parents are settled in the UK, or if one parent already settled in the UK has sole responsibility for you, we will normally allow you to stay in the UK permanently from the date that you arrive. If you travel to the UK with one or both of your parents, we will normally give you permission to stay in the UK for the same length of time as they are given.
