Hi

I m a french citizen who recently acquired UK EEA PR Feb 2019 with 5 years continous residence moving towards British citizenship . My son born in India Dec 2016 and he is french citizen by father descent and arrived UK May 2017. My wife is an Indian citizen and have valid UK residence card till 2021 . Could anyone advice do my son qualify for British citizen if yes when if not what are the other options .

Your son needs PR or settled status before he can apply for citizenship.

I already answered this question in March when you asked. The child will need PR or settled status and can only apply for citizenship when EITHER parent is applying or where one parent is already British and the other holds PR.
