Child will follow the same path as your spouse and require ILR before applying for British citizenship.

For children born abroad, the other non British parent and the child is also required to hold ILR before the child can be registered.

How old is the child?

Thanx for yr response .child is five years old
Can i apply for ilr now?or have to.wait five years?

Your son will follow the same visa and ILR route as your wife. There is no shorter route.

Ok.many thanx.
Even sibling is british doesn't help?

It might only help if the mother already had ILR, but she doesn't.

I reed somewhere or misunderstood if child live in uk for three years then can apply?

That is relevant to children born abroad to parent(s) who British by descent and not a naturalised parent.

Ok.thanx alot.after five years in mother got ilr and dont apply for.son ilr to save huge visa fees and can I register that time?do u get point?

You likely need to apply for ILR. You risk a refusal and if the childs visa has expired they will be an overstayer.

Some have had success without ILR for a child (usually a very small child) many however have had refusals.

Once the child is 10 they also have to meet the good character requirement.

Not according to the policy. I had a refusal conceded after permission for JR was granted. The Home office concede that there is alternate to that if one parent is British. The individual has since been granted . So the other parent do not necessarily need ILR.

I do accept they normally refuse, but when it gets to court they will concede as their policy does not explicitly say so.

Yes, after the mother and child have ILR.

Obie's post suggests that you will end up spending on either the child's ILR or on legal proceedings. Much better to go for the first, as you can apply for it with the mother's ILR.
