thanks - does that mean he wouldn't need a dependent visa?

Why does my uncle who was born in Hong Kong and lived there until he was an adult have RTL then? He applied through his birth certificate only .... (And the fact that you -cannot- ever have RTL as person with Chinese nationality by birth in HK.) My family and myself were BDTC (HONG KONG) until 1997. After that even the family members that were born and grew up there were eventually downgraded to simple resident status through absence after 1997, which was a downgrade of P.R., which was a downgrade from being a citizen.
If you're not Chinese your kids wont get diddly squat in terms of Chinese Citizenship unless you're stateless or something... and I am not even sure if that still applies or if it was just to people who were stateless due to the hand over.

My coworker is from China and has been working in HK with a work visa for almost 7 years. He seriously considers to be a PR. However, his wife from mainland living here with a dependent visa, needs about two more years to meet the 7th year. In his case, is it better to apply to be a PR together with his wife? Otherwise, his wife needs to get a one-way visa to live in HK legally, correct? And their daughter will get PR when her father becomes a PR until 21, but can she apply to be a PR by herself before 21? Thanks!
Yes, correct - this is the one situation where delaying an application for PR makes sense.
I assume the daughter can apply for PR in her own right before age 21, but I'm not 100% sure.
