Hi everyone,
I'm new here and extremely confused.
My husband is a naturalised british citizen and I'm Indian and on a depenedant visa.
I've been in the UK since January 11th, 2015. I am pregnant and planning to go to India for the delivery(december 2015). Everything was fine- I thought once the baby is born, we'll get him a British passport and come back. But then someone asked me - if the baby gets a British passport, how can he stay in India as british citizens need a visa to stay in India. This is confusing me and I'm not able to find much details about this online. Can someone who has been in a similar situation please help me?
Also, do we apply for the baby's passport from the high commission in Madras (closest to me) or apply directly via post to the UK?
I will most likely be in India from the end of August till the baby's passport comes- which I heard can take a LONG time, will this time apart from the UK affect my visa extension?
Also what is the average time for the baby's passport to come back? The website says 16 weeks but my friend who is an immigration lawyer (but stingy with information) says a lot of mums and babies are stuck in India for over a year. I'm getting super stressed about this!
Thanks very much! All help is appreciated!
