Hi,

I need to know what should I do now to get a visa stamp on my babies Indian passport. I have searched the all the Bia websites and it does not give any answers, tried calling to almost every number for last two weeks but no information.

Congratulations! I am assuming that your baby was born in the U.K.

See also Section 4a - Children born in the United Kingdom who are not British Citizens and Annex P - General guidance.

If your baby is not traveling out of, and returning to, the UK, then you are not required to make an immigration application for him/her for leave to remain in the UK. You may include him/her as your dependant when you apply for an extension or for ILR.

Else, if the baby will be traveling before you can include him/her in your leave to remain application, then s/he may apply, using form FLR(O), with the appropriate fee. See also 14.7 - Children born in the UK on or after 1 January 1983 but who are not British Citizens.

The baby is eligible to register as a British citizen as soon as you have been granted ILR.
