Hi There,

It would be a great help, if you could help me to sort out following queries:

Little background: Me and my wife have got ILR [settlement visa] in Aug 2011 and we went to visit our family in May 2012 and due to medical issues my wife has to stay there and we have a child born [Oct 2012 ] in India. My wife and child both are in India at the moment and now thinking to come back in Feb/March. By the time, I did apply for my citizenship and have got it on 05.12.2012 and now I have applied for British Passport.

01 : What VISA shall we have to apply for this child born in India?
02 : When can I apply for this child's British citizenship? Can I apply for British citizenship straight away once child come to UK ?
03 : Can I apply British Citizenship from India, rather than Visa and then bring them here bit later? [ may be in June/July ]

See similar questions - Citizenship status for baby born in India after parent's ILR

You can't apply for registration from abroad. You can apply once the child is in the UK but although there are no residence requirements, as the application is at discretion, I suggest you wait a few months and not apply the next day he lands in the country.

Thanks for reply, its really very helpful.

One more query:

Do I need to apply a settlement visa in India [ ILR ] for Child or a visitor visa to bring child here and then to apply ILR here in UK ?

Settlement visa from India.

Thank you very much, Jambo,

Hi Jambo,

In this case because father is now british citizen will the child can apply indian passport in india?

I'm not familiar with Indian immigration but at the time of the birth, both parents were Indian. The child was born in India. What else can he be other than Indian?

yes you are right jambo. thanks for clarifying.

05: Do I need to send any sponsor letter from here [ UK ] ? if Yes, is it like a letter on plain paper or do I need to get it from solicitor/ notary ?

I suggest you ask your questions in immigrations for family members section which is more appropriate than this section.

Thanks, Jabmo
