Hi all
I am a newbie here. Hope somebody can help me with my situation. I am currently residing with my toddler in the UK. I am employed full time and on ILR visa. My husband was working and living here till last month when he decided to go to India and start a business.
In May next year we will be eligible to apply for British citizenship by naturalisation. We are a bit unsure about the future and how to go about this so any advice would be much appreciated.
I would like to apply for british citizenship but my husband does not want to. Will I be eligible to apply for citizenship on my own? If yes will I have to include my daughter in the application? I would like to join my husband in India if his business kick starts and we feel there is a better scope there. However if things do pear shaped we would like to come back to the UK and get back to our day jobs. My questions are:
1. Can I apply for British citizenship on my own and my husband keeps his indian citizenship?
2. Can my daughter keep her indian citizenship? If yes when she joins school in India will she still have to pay an NRI fee even if I am residing in India with a british passport?
3. In future if we decide to come back to the UK, can my husband then later apply for naturalization if he chooses to even if he hasnt been residing in the UK?
Thanks for any help
