Hi, I am going through MN1 guidance and "Registration as British citizen:
children" guidance and found below in Registration as British Citizen that

"
Child’s immigration status
As a general principle, the expectation is that there should be a staged approach to
permanent residence and citizenship. This means that the child will first achieve one
of the following before being considered for British citizenship:
• indefinite leave (IL)
• permanent residence under the European Economic Area (EEA) regulations
Given this you should normally only register a child under section 3(1) who has not
been granted ILR or permanent residence where there are strong compelling
compassionate circumstances to do so, taking into account any representations put
forward as to why it is important for the child to become a British citizen now.
Being free from immigration restrictions will be less important where one or both
parents are British citizens who have come to the UK to live permanently and:
• the child satisfies the other expectations for registration
• the parents meet the expectations with regard to their circumstances
If the child is subject to immigration restrictions but otherwise meets the other
expectations for registration, you must refer the application to a senior caseworker to
make a decision on whether the circumstances outweigh the expectation that the
child be free of restrictions.

Now we did register our daughter with Tier 2 dependant visa so does that means now she is under immigration restrictions and if we MN1 decision goes beyond her visa expiry she becomes over stayer and wont qualify for citizenship? Above is confusing as I do see in MN1 guidance that it does say if she is born she is entitled for citizenship once with parents become settled. Sorry but do we have any other use cases here who had similar situation and still got MN1 approved for their child beyond current visa expiry?
