Remain as the mother of a child who was born in UK

[samuelchai]

Hi All,

I am a British citizen and my wife is non-British, and she is pregnant.

If she gives birth in the UK, I can apply for British citizenship for my child because I myself am British.

If my wife is on a 6 month visitor visa, is there any way she can apply for leave to remain after giving birth here?

Many thanks for your help.

If child is born in the UK to a British parent, then child is automatically British. Child does not need to apply for British citizenship. Just apply for a British passport directly.

Unfortunately, the environmentally unfriendly Immigration Status requirements prevents a visitor from applying under the 5 year partner route, unless there are pandemic concessions.

With a child, she may succeed under the 10-year partner route, subject to exceptional circumstances.

You have been given extensive advice on the process in multiple topics in 2020. In December you were asking about a applying for spouse visa. Why didn't you proceed with the application and do things the right way?
