Hi, I have below query- 1) Parents ILR and child UK born. Travelling to India for few months, currently child have got UK Visa. 2) Need to know if naturalisation can be done from India. 3) if we apply while in UK via NCS then can we give correspondence address in India as we will be going while ...

Thanks for your detailed reply. I am now in india,due to my child's current situation and holidays in south india I can't travel to VFS before I leave to UK. Both me and wife are travelling to UK and can't afford to loose non refundable flights. I leave it to grandparents to apply for ROA or if you ...

maddy update-- my application got returned again today. reason being--fathers original passport at the time of child's birth is missing. To be honest, I included both parents passports in original and wrote cover letter with bold letters explaining everything but no use. The guy whoever innewdelhi ...

Dumb question. Why cant the child's father apply for the passport in UK and courier it to India? What am I missing? That would be a sneaky option, I recently came across some people who did that and they got British passport for their child. But, I wouldn't dare to take that risk. As per UKBA site ...

maddy surprisingly the mandatory requirement of parent's passport disappered on the list of supporting documents and you can include Any of the 4 documents from the list. I reapplied today without parents passports and see what happens this time but we included child and mothers aadhar card showing ...

Any updates with your ROA application?

My wife will apply from India on 30th Dec. Hoping for the best...��

I may be asking a dumb question here, since my child registered as a British Citizen (i.e., Naturalization), does his nationality becomes British or still he got Indian nationality?
Obviously, there is question in RoA application, nationality of applicant and any other nationality applicant holds..

Most of the times people put themselves in difficult situations. If they spend 10 minutes to look for the information before hand, many of the problems could be avoided. There are regular posts from many people specially from Indian subcontinent with the same exact position. Child back home ...

maddy, If you are making ROA does child needs to attend vfs and need to give biometric etc? please let me know so that I will prepare the application. Hi Rivercam, I believe child needs to attend VFS as per this link , but bio metric is not required. I will speak BHC, chennai and VFS on Monday to ...

Will the BHC be concerned about it? If not, then easiest way is to get ROA, and once in UK they can surrender child's passpot to HCI in UK. At least they can give it a shot. Or, they can just keep researching and keep trying for a British Passport. If they do not provide what BHC asks to provide ...

I am not quite sure if right of abode can be applied if parents are not British citizens yet. I believe right of abobe is for only persons who are British by birth??

I dont think coming to india can solve your problem. I am in india dont know what to do. Why cant they accept your copy attested by solicitor? Luckily for me and wife our passports at the time of baby birth got expired and they accepted but I am thinking of new avenues for child address match so ...

Hello Gurus, Please give us a suggestion on how one can bring UK born baby (registered as a British citizen using MN1) back to UK with out applying for British Passport. At the moment, it looks like it is almost impossible to bring back the child to UK on British Passport because of the stupid ...

Hello Riveram and Specy_99, I am in same situation. Application has been returned by BHC saying they needs parents original passports and address on the form should match with address proofs of both parents i.e., voters card, driving license, identity cards etc... Total Nuts! What is your plan now ...

Hi Rivercam, Specy_99 I can understand how frustrating it is for both of you.... I am going to apply soon for British Passport for my baby as well from India. Hope BHC knows what they are doing.. Have you guys thought about bringing Child back to UK using visitor visa and apply for british passport ...

Hello Manoj,

Please see the link below and it contradicts what you are saying. Do we really need to submit Indian passport and get surrender certificate before we apply for British passport from India?

Hi maddyinlon, It will be your current (present) address. Generally, it is considered that child is overseas due to long holidays or care purpose only. Once, application approved you will receive registration certificate via normal post to this address (section 1.16). all the best with application ...

I was wondering if you have received your ...

Hi Rivercam or SP-LD,

I may be asking dumb question regarding filling MN1 form.

Section 1 of MN1 application - Child's present address: Do we need to mention father's UK address or India address where child is residing?
