Registering a child as BC citizen - spouse passport required?
Posted: Thu May 31, 2018 11:38 am
Hello
My situation is the following: A few years ago, I was studying as EEA citizen in the UK, and I met my wife, a Commonwealth citizen living in the UK with PhD student visa. We married, and our child was born here.
recently, I became a UK citizen. My wife finished her study and returned to her country, waiting that I apply for a spouse visa for her. We have now been married for ~7 years. My child is with her there, with EEA citizenship.
I wish to apply both UK regsitration for my child, and spouse visa for my wife. The problem is: do i need to send my wife's passport with the child regsitration as BC application? Because if i do so, I can't apply for a spouse visa, which require my spouse's passport too.
I'm also worried that for a spouse visa, if my child is staying too long out of the UK because of his Mum's application, could it break his entolement/break his residency? He is 3 years old.
I am cobfused because some immigration companies ask for the Mother's passport, while the document here
(under the section 1(3) for British Nationality Act) does not ask for both parents passport, only the passport of the parents that has been natiralized.

I assume it's the form MN1?
So my question is: is it ok of my wife stay in her hone country, that I first apply for registration of my child using my UK passport + marriage certificate, and then only, when the child is registered, I process my wife'as application? This is to avoid that the child say too long out of UK.
many thanks for any useful advice
