Hello Sir,

My child born in India in March 2012.
Got ILR and valid from - end of June 2012.
First time arrived in UK - Oct 2012.
Till today - Child is away from UK for the period of around 16 Months.
In Last year from today - Child is in UK.

Child Father holding British Citizenship since March 2012 BUT AFTER CHILD's BIRTH and Mother holding ILR PRIOR to CHILD's BIRTH

Please let me known, process to apply British citizenship - Keep in minds of days child is away from UK?

Thanks

Form MN1, under Section 3(1).

I had already gone through the link. But I am confused.

According UK border agency website,

https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... n-form-mn1

Document Reference : Registration as a British citizen - a guide about the registration of children under 18: guide MN1

I see appropriate for the children born abroad are,
1) Registration as a British citizen - a guide about the registration of children under 18: guide MN1
2) Section 3 (5) - Birth abroad to Parents who are British by descent but are now living in the UK or a British overseas territory

Which right one in my case?

Note : I am British thru Naturalization

Thanks

3(5) is not applicable as you were not British when child was born. Moreover, your British citizenship is otherwise than by descent. So, 3(5) is also not applicable to future children. They will automatically be British.

If section 3(2) and 3 (5) - doesn't applies to me than which one applicable to me please?

Section 3 (1) : Child whose parents are applying for British Citizenship

Thanks

Hi,

Is anyone applied for British Naturalization for child ALONE under 18,

Circumstances:-
1) Child born in India
2) Child holds ILR
3) Father holds British citizenship after child born
4) Mother holds ILR

Thanks

Yes, many people myself included, your case is nothing special.

You have been given the advice on what to do and which application to make in March already!! Asking the same sort of question won't give you a different answer.

1) My child got ILR in MARCH 2012 to apply Naturalization - Do i need to wait for certain period before applying or can i apply now?

2) Is there any restriction for the period of days away from UK?

Thanks

1. May apply now.
2. No.
