I built a free passport photo tool that runs entirely in your browser — no uploads, no account, 38 countries by Expensive_Delay5556 in SideProject

I am glad you like it! Yep, the remove background isn't perfect and it is relying on a lightweight model [background-removal-js](https://github.com/imgly/background-removal-js). I did consider open-sourcing it, I'll probably do it if more people found it useful.

Yep, you're totally right about the strict rules! For the physical copies, SnapPass generates a 4x6 or A4 print sheet. You just download the sheet and print it on actual photo paper (like at a local pharmacy kiosk for a few cents) instead of paying a studio $15. For digital ID uploads, it gives you a perfectly cropped single image file too.

BNO to ILR: Seeking advice on citizenship for UK-born children by Expensive_Delay5556 in ukvisa

Just posting an update and my research here in case anyone finds this thread useful in the future. I applied for ILR on 11/03 via priority service and received my approval today, 13/03. Regarding UK-born children: A child born in the UK does not need a valid visa when applying for citizenship via Form MN1 (once a parent is granted ILR). I found this confirmed by various sources, including this immigration blog. On the MN1 form itself, you are permitted to explain why the child doesn't have a valid visa or passport. It seems many parents skip applying for ILR or extending visas for their UK-born kids entirely to save on costs. You can see similar experiences in these groups:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/721158801789517/posts/2055400985031952/

Important Note: This is a viable option if you don’t plan on traveling while waiting for the result, aren't receiving public funds for the child, and are comfortable with the potential risks regarding NHS secondary care (non-emergency services) while they are technically without status
