If the baby was born AFTER you were naturalised, then the baby is British by Descent and can apply for a British Passport.

If you prefer to apply for ROA, then it is point 5 :

* Father or mother born, registered, naturalised or adopted in the UK before your birth, which occurred outside the UK on or aftre 01 Jan 1983

If the baby was born BEFORE you were naturalised (as your post is not clear), then baby will need a visa.

Hi ,
I was naturalised in Dec 2012 .Bay born in India in April 2014 .As you stated to tick the point :5 which is
Father or mother born, registered, naturalised or adopted in the UK before your birth, which occurred outside the UK on or afer 01 Jan 1983 .
What does this mean outside the UK u mean my child birth or my naturalisation .
My Naturalisation was in UK .

Please confirm this .

[CR001]

It means

before your birth, which occurred outside the UK

The 'your' referring to the applicant not the parent.

[lappi83]

[quote="CR001"]" So you mean we are eligible to apply for my child ROA on Indian Passport without applying british passport.
We apply ROA using online form by click point : 5 on the form .
How long it will take to get ROA in India .

Thanks,
Lappi "

[lappi83]

[quote="lappi83"][quote="CR001"]" One more question which occurred outside the UK on or after 01 Jan 1983 what is this mean
I am thinking the child/applicanyts birth occured is that right ?
Thanks,

Yes it is the child/applicants birth.

If you apply directly for a British passport, you don't apply for ROA. I am not sure how long ROA applications take but I am sure there is a timeline if you search.

[sagareva]

I am not even sure why would you consider applying fro ROA for your child, or why should it be granted

your child is effectively British by descent, it is an entitlement

can one even get ROA if they are already British, albeit by descent?

you should apply for a British passport for your child IMHO

[CR001]

can one even get ROA if they are already British, albeit by descent?

Yes, because perhaps the parents want to retain Indian citizenship for the time being so ROA is the applicable application.

Hi Guys,
I wanted to know Right of abode from India .
We applied for ROA Application from India for my daughter & got rejected .
My Daughter is having Indian Passport .
Father is Naturalised British before the baby is born ,Mother is on ILR .
Baby is born in india .We applied Last week for ROA From Bangalore ,India got Rejected.

Reason specified by the Officer is :
Commonwealth Citizens with a parent who,at the time of the persons birth or adoption was a Citizen of the UK & Colonies by
birth in the UK .
It means that as a Father iam naturalised citizen but not born in UK .

Is that right as in the forums i saw people who got ROA From India with same status of mine.

Please advice .

Thanks ,
Harry

Another incorrect rejection!

However, did they know that you were naturalised before your child's birth?
Did you fill in the form as CR001 had advised?

If you did, then I wish the the ECO was better trained.

Ask for a reconsideration. If necessary, appeal within the time limit. If necessary, supply additional evidence that you were naturalised before child's birth. The refusal should be overturned.

[lappi831]

Hi ,
What is CR001 Form .Also ECO Has written that He says it is rejected on Section 10 Immigration Act 2002.
I have submitted Naturalisation Original & also ECO Knows I have Naturalised before my child is born .

Are there any rules changed in 2002 as he has given according to Act 2002 .

Please advice.

Thanks ,
Harry

[vinny]

CR001 was referring to the online form.

Your child is automatically British.

I believe Section 2(1)(a) remains true. Therefore, Section 6(a) is satisfied. Therefore, 6 is satisfied, subject to 6(b) and (c) and (d) (as amended) being true.

Section 10 confers the powers of The Immigration (Certificate of Entitlement to Right of Abode in the United Kingdom) Regulations 2006 (as amended).

Therefore, it's incomprehensible that the ECO rejected the application on the basis of Section 10.

Hi lappi831,

Thanks for reply and best of luck with your daughter ROA.

The ECO was wrong, as I have tried to explain above.

An important point here is that child is British.

I have made my analysis into a sticky, as a few posters seem to have similar problems.

[vinny]

Hi Guys,
Just wanted to know :
On what basis we can apply Right of abode for a child born in India to a British Parents if so what documents are necessary ?

Regards,
Harry

[vinny]

On the basis that your child is British (by descent) and child hasn't got a British passport, etc.

You must send the correct supporting documents with your application.

The type of documentation that you should consider submitting will depend upon the basis of your claim to the right of abode. Full details are available in the Immigration (Certificate of Entitlement to Right of Abode in the United Kingdom) Regulations 2006.

(c)the additional documents which are specified in the right-hand column of the Schedule in respect of an application of a description specified in the corresponding entry in the left-hand column.

Additional documents which must accompany an application for a certificate of entitlement

...
Applicant was born outside the United Kingdom and the Falkland Islands on or after 1st January 1983, or outside the United Kingdom and any qualifying British overseas territory on or after 21st May 2002, to a parent born in the United Kingdom or the Falkland Islands (or, on/after 21 May 2002, any qualifying British overseas territory) or to a parent registered or naturalised in the United Kingdom prior to the applicant’s birth

(i)Applicant’s full birth certificate showing parents’ details;
(ii)Parents’ marriage certificate (if claiming through father); and
(iii)Parents’ full birth certificate, registration or naturalisation certificate

[lappi831]

Hi vinny,
Thanks for your information.From the above schedule documents , I have submitted all these .
Can I go for appeal as it is clear that child is British by descent so she can get ROA on Indian passport.

One more thing :
Do you see any one who posted this ROA application from India & got there visa of the same case,
As I can't see in the forum from India ,some people got it from Pakistan etc .

Thanks,
Harry
