Indian passport. No British passport because neither of you have Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR).dwaipayan wrote:Hi ,
We (me and my wife) came to UK in June2006 on a Work Permit. We are both Indian nationals and our work permit is valid till June 2008 . My wife was pregnant before she came here and we are going to have the baby ! in end Jan . Can you please tell us , whether I can apply for a British passport for my baby or will it be an Indian passport .
That is not true! It is a common misconception that "Public Funds" includes ANY type of benefit paid by the UK Government. Whereas the truth of it is that the definition of Public Funds in para 6 of the Immigration Rules is much more limited.No you can not claim ANY mony from the Gov.
I am not sure if the CB office has given you the right info.dwaipayan wrote:Well , I had called the child benefit office today and they said you can apply and put in the fact tha you are under immigration control . And put in special requests that your chhild is being born here and you are paying significant ammount of tax
so i thought may be i will put in my application ? what do you all say
And bear in mind that once a parent has ILR, a UK born child can immediately be registered as a British citizen. No need to wait for the parents to become naturalised.LondonBlonde wrote:dwaipayan, I believe olisun is right.
I also called the child benifit help line about a year ago and was told that we will not qualify for tax credits and child benefit until at least one parent has ILR. Our child was also born in the UK.
