[flrfpr]

Hi
i would like to get some advice on 10 year old child to illegal parents(both), and my child has being out of country for 120 days in 2007...
whats the timescale and have we got any chance of success,,,i am planning to apply under family life FLRFP ONCE WE get our child British registration done.
please advice or any past experience is appreciated

As per my understanding, to apply for registration as a British Citizen under S1(4), the applicant must:

• have been born in the United Kingdom on or after 1 January 1983;
• be 10 years of age or over;
• have spent no more than 90 days outside the United Kingdom in each of the first 10 years of your life; and
• be of good character

What's the age of the child?
Did the child born in the UK?
regarding absence in 2007, was it continuous 120 days absence from the UK?
Where did your child go? and with who?

as far I know parents being illegal is irreverent in that case, but please take legal advice before applying.

See also 8.4 Exercise of discretion to allow excess absences (section 1(4)).

All see section 1 (7).

my child traveled with me to India and she was born in England (2006), but our visa expired in 2008, since than we have overstayed.. my only worry is our 87 days from dec 2006 till march 2007 and 20 days visit in june 2007 till july 2007....will i get exemption in number of days being absent from Uk.

You would have to rely on discretion being applied. Discretion is discretionary so cannot be guaranteed.

[vinny]

Did you read the exemption of Section 1(7), as explained in 8.4?

The user only posted his query 2.5 months ago. Unlikely, if he has applied, that he has had a response as yet.
