Dear All,
We are expecting our baby in July 2015. Our Visa status
Father : - ILR since sep 2014
Mother : - PBS dependent (yet to complete 3y and 6 months for ILR)
Child:
Our child will be born in July, could you please let us know about the procedure to apply for her citizenship and BC passport?
Father:
I am eligle for AN in Sep 2015, so do I follow AN application for it?
Mother:
Since she has currently got visa till oct 2017 (3 years visa) she would need another 6 months visa, which I am not sure if we can apply for any other route to make it quicker, as both me and the child will have BC by end of this year?
Please do let us know about the Above queries.
Thank you.

You can apply directly for childs passport. If child is born abroad, the hild is not British and will need a visa in line with mother.
Father:

Mother:

She will be better off staying on her current visa (assuming you got ILR based on PBS visa and not long residence). If she switches to FLR(M) spouse of settled person, her ILR qualifying clock will reset to zero and she will have to wait another 5 years for ILR.
Please do let us know about the Above queries.
Thank you.

Thanks for the reply.
1) Child: - Do I need the birth certificate and how do I apply for the passport? could you please provide with the name of application form to apply with or a link to it.
2) Mother: - Yes Father has ILR true 5y PBS route, thus should the next one which is for remaining 6 month term be an pbs dependent extension application to continue the clock and avoid reset.
Thank you

1. Yes you do. Also copies of your passport and ILR. Pls confirm that the child will be born in the UK? Passport forms are vailable at the post office free of charge.
See passport section in link below

2. Yes, it would make more sense to stay as pbs dependent.
