各位大神，我马上准备申请10年面签，我家孩子是在英国出生的，当时给她办了中国护照。我想问问如果我去申请10年永居，孩子可以和我一起申请吗？还是说必须得要我的永居下来才能给她申请呢？那我到时侯是给她申请绿卡呢还是dependent签证呢？谢谢啦！
官方的规定明确写了需要父母双方都拿到永居孩子才能申请永居。或者在父母一方申永居的时候孩子可以直接申请入籍。
但论坛里关于永居有几个成功一起申请的例子，他们是利用了下面的条款，划重点：Where the parent or parents have or are given periods of leave of different duration, the child may be given leave to whichever period is longer except that if the parents are living apart the child should be given leave for the same period as the parent who has day to day responsibility for him.”当父母一方已经/将要拿到永居时，孩子的签证状态跟时间长的一方一样，也就是永居。我记得他们的做法是在申请里附一张cover letter, 希望签证官考虑条例306来做决定。
“306. A child born in the United Kingdom who is not a British Citizen and who requires leave to enter or remain in the circumstances set out in paragraph 304 may be given leave to enter for the same period as his parent or parents where paragraph 305 (i)(a) applies, provided the Immigration Officer is satisfied that each of the requirements of paragraph 305 (ii)-(v) is met. Where leave to remain is sought, the child may be granted leave to remain for the same period as his parent or parents where paragraph 305 (i)(a) applies, provided the Secretary of State is satisfied that each of the requirements of paragraph 305 (ii)-(iv) is met. Where the parent or parents have or are given periods of leave of different duration, the child may be given leave to whichever period is longer except that if the parents are living apart the child should be given leave for the same period as the parent who has day to day responsibility for him.”
我下个月也是10年面签，但保险起见我家还是等爸爸永居的时候一起办。
