Hello,
I am a British Citizen otherwise than by descent.
My two children 6 and 3, were born in Vietnam and are currently under their Mother's Vietnamese passport.
It is my understanding from everything I have read online that the children are British Citizens by birth.
I see two possible complications in that my son was born on the 26th February 2014 and my wife and I were legally married on the 22nd May 2014, a few days under 3 months after child was born.
The second possible issue which involves both son and daughter is that my name does not appear on their birth certificates because the Vietnamese authorities don't put the father's name on the birth certificate if the father is a foreigner.
Even a cursory glance at my children would be sufficient to tell who their father is as they both look like me, however I am not sure if this would be acceptable to HMPO.
Would using a lawyer help, if so, please recommend.
Thanks in advance for your help.
