ILR & MN1 Query

[dikey2809]

Thanks for the response, but I am still having some confusion with regards to registering my daughter under MN1.

My daughter was born in UK in 2010, but my wife does not have my dependent visa she is currently in India, only my daughter has my dependent visa.

I am applying for my ILR next month March 2012.

The question 1.3 asks about the Date when the child was provided ILR in this country, so it should be left blank, as I am not applying for my child’s ILR.
As well questions 1.30 to 1.38 of the MN1 application form states the details of mother. My wife is in India as her dependent visa was rejected in 2010.
I was reading the MN1 guidance form, in which I am confused about the sec 6 which states that both the parents has to give the consents with regards to application of the child. My wife is currently in India, I can get her sign the form to give consent, but will she need to provide an additional document with regards to consent she is giving for application to proceed, as she is not in UK.

With regards to above queries please guide me.



As I want to fill in my daughter’s application form.

You need to appreciate that the form MN1 covers a number of different situations. Once you have your ILR it will be possible to submit a Registration application for the child, under section 1(3). Such applications are an entitlement application ..... no UKBA discretion involved .... so it really is a question of just proving that you have your ILR, and that the child was born in the UK.

Having said that it would be helpful if your wife's signs the consent section of the form MN1, but that can clearly be done by use of the postal service.

The fact that the child is not currently in the UK is irrelevant to the success of a section 1(3) application.
