Parents are on WP and Baby born in UK

[ajayjain]

Hi,

Can my child get british citizenship, he born in uk
but I am holding work permit on Indian passport.

Cheers

Unfortunately not, you can register your child as British when you get ILR.

I don't understand. Weren't you getting ready to apply for British nationality just three months ago?

If that's the case, doesn't this mean that you have at least ILR? And thus have a child who can be registered already? If so, I'm not sure how your question (or the fact that you still somehow hold a work permit) makes any sense...

I am here from last 2 yrs. on workpermit
so after 3 yrs. more then i will be on ILR
then i can get british passport for my baby?
or baby will always have the same status as me.

If a child is born in the UK, then once the parents gain ILR the british can be registered for british citizenship.
In the meantime, child would have nationality of parents.

Oops Robin,

Sorry.

I asked this on behalf of my friend.
I am applying Naturalisation next week, it was rejected last month
as I was out of the country 5 yrs. back in March.
