Not quite right. British born children are british citizens if at the time of birth one of their parents, either: a) have ILR or b) are British citizens. If the parents get an ILR after their birth then the child has to undergo the Naturalization process.

Please always double-check the guidelines before giving advice on this forum as you may be misleading others.

The guide at:
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... e_2015.pdf
specifically states this:
"A child born in the UK to parents one or both of whom are
 British citizens, or
 are settled in the UK at the time the child is born, or
 members of the UK armed forces
"

Plz read the link YOU have quoted. It says registration not naturalisation. MN1 form is the registration form not naturalisation Form

Agree on the registration vs naturalization comment. But even so, the comment: "British born kids becomes British national if one of their parents is settled (ILR) before they reach the age of 18." needs further clarification and references and (please take note moderators) it needs it's own thread. Not this one pertaining to naturalization timelines.
Please refer to the response made to the gentleman of the original post here. He's posted in the thread of MN1 guidelines if you want to participate.

Date approval received: Awaiting
Date of ceremony: Awaiting

I got a question!
I submitted my application on 01July2015, paid the fee on the 7th july 2015, and biometric the following week. ever since I didn’t hear nothing. However, on 03Setpember 2015,I requested my documents back as I need to travel for two weeks. I got my documents back within 4 working days and the enclosed letter stated that they will contact me to return the documents when they started working on my application. This means for the last two months, they haven’t touch my appliation.

Do any of you experience something similar and do they request you to re-send your documents? And do any of your get approval from July application. would i experience further delay? I know they stated waiting time within 6 months, but it seems some people get their approval within few weeks.

Please opine if you have any idea.

Thanks

hi,
I sent my application on 12.08, received an acknowledgment letter dated 25.08, but till now nothing about biometrics. Is this strange that both acknowledgment and biometric letters where not sent together? How can I find out if they had already sent it?
Would be super grateful for help. Applied from London, does it make any difference?Because I would suspect it does not however I don't know how they sort out the mail:)

Hello!

Hi, I am wondering whether you have had an update on this. I appear to be in a similar situation (see timeline below). They have taken the money off my account on 27/08/2015 but have not received a confirmation letter yet (10/09/2015). I am worried now- has anybody else had similar experience?

They won't send the biometrics letter with the acknowledgement letter... see the timelines of others....
unfortunately there is no way to find out... wait for few more days and if you still didn't get it, then email them or call them
Applying from London shouldn't make a difference...
