I am sorry to hear this result. I am in the similar situation with you. I wonder when you are allowed to apply the citizenship again? I understand there is this 10 year ban. In your case, is it 10 year from 08 October 2007, or 10 year from 13 April 2015? Its 10 years from the date of conviction. So...

I think vinny is trying to say is the child can apply when one (or both) of the parents apply for their citizenship. The child will be added as a dependant.
