YesPlease let me know if my son (delivery expected May 2013) can apply for citizenship in Nov 2014.
Not true. Not sure why you think that is a requirement. For a child aged 13-17 there is a 2-year requirement, but for a child aged 0-12, there is no particular residence requirement.The residence requirement for a child born outside of UK is of 3 years which means we will have to wait till 2016.
The 3 years requirement is for children born abroad and that at the time of their birth, one parent was British citizen by decent (i.e. could not pass BC to his children born abroad). Your case is different as you will only become British (other than by decent) after your child birth. The only relevant section your child can apply by is section 3(1) which doesn't have residence requirement (although the child is expected to live in the UK and to hold ILR).gsumanth wrote:The residence requirement for a child born outside of UK is of 3 years which means we will have to wait till 2016. I saw that there is sec 3(1) exemption, but this is at the discretion of the Home Office so not sure how easy it is use this.
