Hello to all.
Can u plz explain this paragraph. Does those following paragraphs are recently updated and will apply to my kid or not? Coz as I already mentioned in post before about my kid was out of country for 2 years. does 180 days counts to him as absence.
And I have got ILR just 2 months ago.
Sorry just want to confirm about these before apply.
Parental consent for applications under 1(3), 1(3A) and 1(4)
As the applicant has an entitlement to be registered as a British citizen if the requirements in sections 1(3), 1(3A) and 1(4) are met, the absence of parental consent (in cases where the applicant is a minor) is not a reason for refusal. It is good practice to gain consent of all those with parental responsibility for the child and it should normally be requested, but this is not mandatory. If the consent is not gained it is not a reason for refusing the application.
Discretion to allow excess absences in the first 10 years of a child’s life Section 1(7) of the British Nationality Act 1981 gives discretion to allow absences of more than 90 days in any one or more of the first 10 years of the person’s life.
You should normally waive excess absences if:
•the number of days absent from the UK in any one of the years does not exceed 180 days and the total number of days over the 10 year period does not exceed 990 days
• the number of days absent exceeds 180 or 990 respectively but was due to circumstances beyond the family’s control, such as a serious illness You must not waive excess absences over 180 days in a single year or 990 days in the 10 year period where: • the applicant was unaware of the requirements • the parents’ absences with the child were entirely voluntary
Thank you in advance.
