[lovedt]

Hi There..

I wish this could have been more simpler..

Please guide me.

Simple Thing: I am on WP since last 3y11m having indian passport. ILR is due next week. Going to croydon as well.

Confusion: We were blessed with Baby boy last week.

Solution: ???? Please someone guide.

can i just go to croydon and tell them about baby and show certificate. OR once i get ILR then apply for British Passport for my child.???

Please..please guide me before friday.

Many Thanks..
Cheers

Lovedt

Congratulations!!

Once you have your ILR, your baby will become entitled to be registered as a British citizen - it comes under section A of application form MN1 which - if you're lucky - you'll be able to download from this page on the IND website. (I just tried it, and it worked perfectly at this time of night - during the day the story is very different!)

Dear PPron747

Can you tell me how that Baby will be a british citizen when at the time of his birth neither of his parent hold the British Citizenship or the ILR

as mentioned

Section 1(3) of the British Nationality Act 1981 gives a UK born child (if the child is not British at birth) an entitlement to registration as a British citizen if after he or she is born, a parent becomes a British citizen or "settled" in the United Kingdom.

Dear JaJ

Thanks for your kind Reply.

Please Tell me then I got my ILR on 1st of March 2006. While I was on Workpermit Since March 2002. I had a Son Born in July 2004 while I was on Workpermit.

Can I apply for his British Citizenship as well ?


Thanks

Abbi, nice and simple ... yes! Use form MN1.

Alternatively, when you apply for Naturalisation .. in March 2007? .... you can include the child on your form AN(NEW).

The cost of submitting a separate form MN1 = £200. Cost of adding a child to your AN(NEW) form = £200. The only difference will be when your child becomes British .... sooner or later.

So in this case there is no cost saving by waiting - from a United Kingdom viewpoint at least, it's best to register the children as British citizens now.

Processing time for registration is quicker than for naturalisation - about 1 month, by all accounts.
