Query Regarding MN1

[vinodt1347]

Hi,

Please help with below situation. Pleas advise.

I and family have ILR for last 2 years and have been here in UK for 8 years. I wish to apply for Naturalisation using AN for myself and MN1 for 2 kids. We are not applying for my wife now.

Kids were born in India in 1998,2001 respectively and have been here since 2008. What section is to be quote in Question 1.1 of MN1. From a reading of the Guide I think it is section 3.1. This is on page 12 of the MN1 guide - see below
Registration at the Home Secretary’s discretion – Section 3(1) application
Children born abroad to parents who are applying for British citizenship
Where one or both parents are applying for British citizenship they may apply for one or more children who are not automatically British at birth (see “Automatic acquisition of British citizenship” above) to be registered as British citizens as part of a “family application”. Children in this category will be considered at the Home Secretary’s discretion and will usually be registered only if both the parents are granted or already hold British citizenship, or if one parent holds British citizenship and the other is
settled in the UK.

Yes, it is section 3(1) for children born abroad.
