Visa Application for Baby born in UK

[agesteven]

A little different enquiry about above subject.....

I have a child born June 2009.

My current leave to remain expires July 2012 (submitted this application before the child was born in June 2009).

Need to renew for another 2yrs and then spend only 9months before applying for my ILR.

My question: Do I need to include the baby on my next renewal by July 2012, knowing fully well that he qualifies automatically for RED PASSPORT as soon as I get my ILR by April 2013?

Personally, I think I don't need to include the child with my renewal application (though I will ensure that the maintenance fund covers him as well) as there is no reason whatsoever that can make the child to travel out of UK before April 2013.

Thanks for your advice.

You're almost correct.

After you're granted ILR, Red (British?) passport will not be automatic. Registration will be required, prior to British passport application.

Is this true, that when parents apply for ILR and get an ILR the child gets a british passport immediately. The child doesn't has to wait for 11 months before applying for the naturalisation. Also does the child has to go through the naturalisation procedure or no need of it. Can you please clarify this, vinny?

I was referring to children born in the UK prior to at least one parent being granted ILR.

I was referring to children born in the UK prior to at least one parent being granted ILR.

But section 1(3) of the legislation act 1981 states the below:

http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1981/61/section/1

(3)A person born in the United Kingdom after commencement who is not a British citizen by virtue of subsection (1) [F7, (1A)] or (2) shall be entitled to be registered as a British citizen if, while he is a minor—
(a)his father or mother becomes a British citizen or becomes settled in the United Kingdom; and
(b)an application is made for his registration as a British citizen.

So if the parents apply for an ILR, get an ILR, then the child can get a British Citizen by registration.

Can anyone confirm whether my understanding is correct?

Thanks Vinny for the clarification.

Yes. That is correct.

A registration application is different from a passport application.

Yes. That is correct. However, a registration application is different from a passport application.

Can you provide me with the link for the registration form, if you know?
