My husband got his British citizenship through naturalisation in 2017. My daughter and I got ILR in 2019. My daughter is born outside of UK. Can my daughter apply for citizenship via MN1 form under the Category
Other - Apply at the discretion of the Home Secretary. based on guidelines in Guide_MN1-Jul19

Registration at the Home Secretary’s discretion – Section 3(1) application

• the parents’ nationality and immigration status – we expect either both parents to be British citizens or one parent a British citizen and the other parent settled in the UK

Also could you confirm whether she needs to wait 12 months after getting ILR to apply for the above.

Thanks.

There is no 12 month wait requirement for children under 18 if one parent is British or applying at the same time and the other parent holds ILR.
