hello

i am from Latvia, 2 years resident in UK and i work full time, my son is 3 years old born in England, the father is non-EEA waiting for Residence card EEA2

i am planning to travel abroad in March, but i've just been told from my embassy that my son need Nationality first then he can apply for his passport.

the problem is the nationality takes 6 months plus 1 month for the passport, that makes it 7 months from now, at the best!

i just would like to know if there are any other ways to make my son able to travel abroad before this time, please could someone help! someone with more knowledge in this immigration field! thanks

please! and thank you very much!!!

You could get him a passport in his father's nationality.

hi UKBAbble

i don't think this is possible as his father is still waiting his EEA2, i thought the father must hold a status and be registered within his consulate before considering a passport for his son, or am i wrong?

Six months just to register your child as a Latvian citizen? Just out of curiosilty, why have you waited three years to move?
