Right of Abode for a child born outside UK for an ILR / Naturalised Parent

[Vernika11]

Hi,

Looking for help or guidance around the entry clearance for my child.

I currently hold a British citizenship since Jan 6th 2018 and applied for naturalisation on July 20th 2017. I got my citizenship /ILR through Tier 2 PBS 5 year category.

My wife is on Tier 2 Dependant visa valid until Jan 2020. My child was born in India on 11th October 2017. I haven't received my citizenship by that time but application was in progress.

The question is what visa does the child requires as part of entry clearance? Is she eligible for Right of Abode? If not Settlement for dependant child or Tier 2 Dependant

Please provide some guidance

Looking forward to your quick response.

Child is not British and therefore does not have the right of abode.

Child may apply for a PBS dependant visa, in line with mother.

Thanks for your quick reply Vinny.

I was just doing some research and filled up some assessments on UKBA site, it says that my child can apply for ILR from India. Is that not true? do u think it will get refused?

Unfortunately, that’s untrue. There are no provisions under the Immigration rules in these circumstances.
