Is my kid eligible for citizenship?
Posted: Thu Jan 24, 2019 1:20 pm
Hi,
I am applying for the UK citizenship and wondering if my kid is eligible for it too?
She is 16 months old and born in India and at her time of birth I was under a Tier-2 visa. Now I hold an ILR and she is in the UK along with her mother. Their current visas were applied after I received my ILR.
In the MN1 guide,
Thanks

Unfortunately, my wife (kid's mother) doesn't hold an ILR. Does it mean our daughter isn't eligible to apply along with me?Children born abroad to parents who are applying for British citizenship
Where one or both parents are applying for British citizenship they may apply for one
or more children who are not automatically British at birth (see “Automatic acquisition
of British citizenship” above) to be registered as British citizens as part of a “family
application”. Children in this category will be considered at the Home Secretary’s
discretion and will usually be registered only if both the parents are granted or already
hold British citizenship, or if one parent holds British citizenship and the other is
settled in the UK.
Thanks
