Forgot to mention that my child is only 2 yrs old at the moment. So, I don't think she can go for the test. Believe you are just mentioning the same fact here. Or is it like, she'll have to go for the test later on? That doesn't make sense to me.John wrote:a difference ... for example the person who is to be registered as British does not need to pass the Citizenship Test .... your daughter will be delighted to know!
Under s1(3) of the British Nationality Act, a child born in the UK with a parent who subsequently acquires ILR has an *entitlement* to be registered as a British citizen, provided application is made before age 18.boylove wrote:Hi All,
I have a baby who was born here before my ILR. Even though she has been eligible for registration as a British for some time now, I always thought of filing it with my own application for naturalization as British.
I am about to file my application (based on ILR+5 yr stay), but when I asked NCS on phone about this, the lady on the phone said that child should be entered with mother. Is she right? Doesn't look that way from the application form. It doesn't mention anywhere that child cannot be included in father's form. Could anybody answer it please? Thanks in advance for your effort.
Which might possibly explain the odd advice received from the NCS official; I suspect she might not have hoisted in the fact that OP is married, and that he is therefore the child's father as defined in the Act. I can think of no other reason for saying that the child had to registered with mother rather than father...Kayalami wrote:The BNA considers as a parent the father (where he has the relevant status) to be if he is married to the mother of the child or subsequently marries the mother (and thus legitimises the child).
