So our daughter is 17 and coming under our ILR application, which we should have sometime next month, as we paid for priority processing. It occurred to me though, as I was looking ahead at the citizenship application requirements, by next autumn, she will be 18, and I believe they will want to see proof that she passed the Life in the UK test? If so, we could have her take it, but it is a hassle and she has A levels next summer. I also see that there is a way for a child who was born in the UK (as she was, in Scotland, when my husband was in his PhD program), to parents who were not settled at the time, to apply for citizenship right away as soon as those parents do get ILR. It has to be done before that child is 18, so I am thinking as soon as we get ILR, we could apply for her to get citizenship? Then the rest of us would apply a year from now as originally planned. Am I thinking correctly? Here is the info:
