You can apply to register your child as British if one of their parents is British or applying to become British. Your child's other parent must either be British or settled in the UK. If their other parent has an immigration status that will lead to settlement, your child's application "might" still be successful.Rud wrote: ↑Fri May 10, 2024 10:55 amDear Advisors,
We were unable to make progress on our child’s
Indian passport renewal application with the Indian embassy because I obtained British citizenship after the was born in India. I was advised by a solicitor in UK on a option for UK citizenship for children , with consent letter from both parents? One of parent is still on a spouse visa. Would you able to provide a guidance on this option ?
The child is living in uk more than 5 years now.
You can't expect anything. It's not clearly defined as it's not the norm. The child is Indian, so the problem is an Indian problem. Just putting it bluntly.Rud wrote: ↑Fri May 10, 2024 11:45 amThank you for response.
The child’s other parent is in spouse visa , the risk we are facing is the child’s Indian passport to expire and can’t be renewed due to recent changes to Indian citizen regulations. She is living in uk for more than 5 years now , still have to wait for few more years to qualify for ILR as other parent also qualifies for ILR Sametime , I understand the request for nationalisation for child might get refused as other parent holding a spouse visa but considering the current situation of child left without any passport, can we expect a consideration on the basis of best interests and well being for child ?
I am curious to know why a child with Indian nationality suddenly cannot get their passport renewed ?Rud wrote: ↑Fri May 10, 2024 11:45 amThank you for response.

It is not so much new legislation as a stricter interpretation of pre-existing Indian citizenship law.contorted_svy wrote: ↑Fri May 10, 2024 4:25 pmThere has been some newly introduced legislation in India that removes citizenship from children whose parents have acquired another nationality.
