Unfortunately, if neither parent was settled nor British (nor had the right of abode), etc., when their children were born in the UK, then these children are not automatically British. However, these children are entitled to register immediately after a parent has ILR.

It may be possible to ask for discretion to waive the requirement
Naturalisation as a British citizen by discretion: nationality policy guidance wrote:Applicants under section 6(1) who have not been free of immigration time restrictions for 12 months

Applicants under section 6(1) of the 1981 act are also required to have been free of immigration time restrictions for the remainder of this period. There is however discretion to waive this requirement.
Discretion to disregard immigration time restrictions in the 12 months prior to application can be exercised if one of more of the following is met:
...
the applicant made an application for ILR at least 15 months before the citizenship application, and was granted following a delay which was not their fault

Hi Vinny,
Thanks for this very useful information. My case is also quite similar to this post. Just wanted to ask, if the application was refused first and then got ILR following an appeal in June 2018 where the Judge says in the letter that the reason of refusal was not the applican't fault and it was out of their control, can that be a valid supporting evidence? my whole ILR process took 2 years 4 months. In that case can i apply for Naturalization now?
Thanks in Advance
