stateless children

[WaheedIqbal]

after the MK case in june 2017 alot of indian citizens are doing the stateless applications for their children
is it possible the same can be applied to the national of the other countries?

[CR001]

Which application are you referring to? You need to provide more details of your situation as I see from your previous post, you had an application refused on the 7 year child concession basis.

What are the nationalities of the two parents?

The MK case is, in part, an outcome of Indian law, which says that children born to Indian parents abroad must be registered to acquire Indian citizenship and that it is not automatic.

That may not be the case with children born to parents from other countries.

It is the nationality laws of the country/ies of nationalities of both parents, not UK law, that decides if the child is stateless. Only if the child is stateless can it apply under the stateless provisions.

Note that children without passports may not be stateless. Nationality is typically granted by law and lack of passport is immaterial to whether the person/child has a certain citizenship.

MK will only be engaged once a child has resided for a period of 5 years in the UK. There should not have been an attempt to register the child with the Indian authorities.

Obie, I think the OP's question is, can MK be engaged in the case of children neither of whose parents are Indian?

Hi all moderate members, I just need to clarify about stateless children .
MK judgment is about Indian national but <<redacted>> claimed several times on Facebook and Venus tv sessions that they successfully registered Pakistani children too.
Please advise if this law implement on Pakistani children or it’s just for Indian stateless children.
Any advise would be highly appreciated

Most likely not. Children born to Indian citizens are not automatically Indian citizens under Indian law. They need to be registered as Indian citizens. If they are not registered, they are stateless.

It seems Pakistani nationality law is like UK nationality law in that a child born to a Pakistani citizen abroad is automatically Pakistani, no registration required. Therefore a child born to a Pakistani parent abroad is not stateless, but a Pakistani citizen, even if it does not have a Pakistani passport.

The MK judgment would apply to children born to parents whose nationality does not pass automatically to children born abroad. India, Australia and South Africa are the ones that come to mind.

Be aware that the Home Office is aware of Pakistani nationality law. There used to be a short summary of it on the Home Office website.

The child is not stateless. Being born to a Mauritian parent abroad, it is likely automatically a Mauritian citizen.

For the MK judgment to apply, the nationalities of both parents should require registration or otherwise fail to pass on to the child. That is clearly not the case here. Therefore, you should not attempt to register the child under MK, but wait until the child has completed 10 years of residence in the UK.

Be aware that citizenship acquired by concealment of a material fact (such as the fact that the child is NOT stateless, in this case) can later be withdrawn. Also, there may be issues with the concealed parent then relying on the British citizenship of the child to try to get residence in the UK.

Are both parents named on the child's birth certificate?

[NS1981]

Hi thanks for your answer,,
Yes both parent name on the birth certificate .
The solicitor has applied for only single mother who is Indian for the child of 6 years for the 5 route case .
Thanks you

Hi flrfpr

Thank you for kind reply.

My solicitors has contected indian high commision for letter, which can prove my son is not registered as an indian but high commission replied they have outsourced service to VFS due to high demand.

So my question is here when you have applied where did you get letter from.? Is it from high commision itself or from VFS.?

Second question is who ever issued letter fo you, how long did they took to issue letter for your child.?

I was only asking many questions because this conversation will help me and many other indian families who struggling to get information and paying lots of charge for little information and cheated by solicitors, so share your experiece in detail and thats what I will do once I will apply mine.

Your responce will be appreciated!!!

Many Thanks

Home Office will ask for details of the other parent, and if it is establish that the child's other parent is Mauritian, then the application will fail, as the child will not be stateless.

[NS1981]

Hello ,
Thanks for your answer Obie !!!
If any ideas !!! me and my wife was living as a partner then got separated my wife had take my elder one that why the solicitor had told my wife the 5 years route but thinking about the declaration of my child in the birth certificate can be an obstacle even if we had separate the home Office will consider my child both parents nationality any guess of that ? Now will see still waiting for the answer from HOffice .thanks you

Hi Jay.
Yes Indian high commission outsourced it's service for issuing that letter to stateless children. You can apply through your nearest VFS office they take the application and send it to Indian high commission or Indian counsellor office , that office will then process your request and if you satisfied their requirements they will issue you a NAC (non acquisition certificate/letter) within 2-4 weeks time.
You don't need a solicitor for this service I would say as I have used it on my own. All the forms are available on VFS website. What you need is one valid Indian passport of Indian parent of the child , child birth certificate, your marriage certificate, your address proof, bank card to pay the service fee at VFS. They send the ready letters to your home address along with your submitted above original documents via special courier delivery by DX. I hope this information will help in your case.

Thanks.

[raj1215]

Hi Priyyam.
To apply for stateless child form is S3 and you need NAC letter form parents country/s. If you have letters from GP for the last 5 year immunisation details. Or If you can get letter from GP too. The home office fees is £1012. If you using solicitor it depends how much they charge for form filling. It's a straight forward application form easy to fill. All the best for your application.
