Citizenship/ILR for child born in UK

[vinoit]

Hey Experts,

I am currently in Tier 2 General visa. I am eligible for ILR this August. My boy born(2016) here in the UK and he is in Tier-2 dependent visa valid until Feb 2019( We applied because we went to India last year).

We planning to send him to India with my Mother for 3-4 months. But wondering, will this effect by any means of his eligibility for ILR or Citizenship?

I heard that once I switched to ILR, I can apply Citizenship for my boy as he born in the UK. Is that right?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Thanks,
Vinoth

No.

Yes. He also does not require ILR first. A UK born child has an entitlement to apply to register as British once EITHER parent is granted ILR.
