Hi I had my Permanent residence card issued in July 2014 and I had a new born baby in September 2014. Does my baby qualify as british citizen straight away or is there something else I have to do get her British passport.
Am asking this question becos initially I though my new born qualified as a British citizen so I applied for british passport for her but few days later I got a call from the passports office asking me they can't find an indefinite leave to remain in my passport. So I told them that's the permanent residence card in my passport and I went on to explain to them that that's the same as indefinite leave to remain through the EEA route. So they have asked me to post any letters from home office which came together with the permanent resident card.
Am confused becos I thought once I got my permanent resident card before the baby was born the baby will automatically be British and therefore can get a British passport. Or could you please explain if there's any other way I can get a British passport for my little girl based on my circumstance.Thank you
