hi everyone

my indonesian wife and her 6 year old son from her first marriage have just recieved their ILR stamps (thanks to everyone on here who helped us).

my wife will now wait another year before applying for her british passport. My question is regarding her son. Is it possible for him to obtain a british passport also? Or does he have to wait until he is 18?

(they currently share an indonesian passport)

thanks in advance

roger

He can be registered as a British citizen at the same time your wife is naturalised.

Does his father still have any parental rights, etc?

my wife has full custody. It would be nice if they could both get UK passports at the same time, we have no intention of living anywhere but the UK.
the home office seems rather vague about the issue on their website. they said under 18"s could apply for a passport but there are no definitive guidelines to abide by.
