You say they both have ILR and asking for documents need for "settlement" visa???? or I am misreading your question!!!

Such a shame that the baby was not born in the UK. If he/she had been born in the UK there would be British Citizenship from the moment of birth.

But born in India, there is now the need to apply for a Child Settlement visa, which because the parents have ILR, will be granted as ILE. Having got that visa the mother and child can return to the UK.

British Citizenship is due course? When the parents, or at least one of them, apply for Naturalisation as British, then an application to Register the child can be made.

All in all, the Child Settlement visa, and the Registration application, will cost nicely over £1000, expenditure that could have been totally avoided if the child had been born in the UK. Too late for your relatives, but possibly food for thought for others.

Thanks John for reply,
I want know what are the documents need for child settlement visa applying from India?!

Clearly the birth certificate, proving parentage, and also proof that one or both parents has ILR. And standard need to deal with the financial test and accommodation test.

The application form has now details.

Thanks very much john.

regarding 1] accommodation , she got house mortgage papers
2] bay birth certificate present
3]baby Indian passport present
4] Employment evidence, she is on maternity leave, before this she has taken leave for pregnancy till delivery as it was high risk pregnancy, altogether she had more than a year leave so, not getting maternity leave salary--> No salary slips. only think is that her salary resumes once she join for duty in UK . my doubt is, whether letter from employer is suffice stating current situation job ?!
and 5] how much maintenance fund is better to enough ? can she show husband account?!

Please clear doubt regarding the same and let me know any other options or advise.

Thanks in advance

As regards the financial test, what about your earnings? Surely those show that the financial test will be passed?
