Hi
I was on tier 1 visa and got my ILR few months ago. My daughter is still having tier 1 dependent visa. We have now applied for her British naturalization as she is born in UK. But it takes few months for naturalization process and then British passport. In the meantime if we travel to India can she travel on tier 1 dependent visa but I am not on tier 1 any more. Will it be a problem for her while entering UK. Any advise will help.

I might be wrong but I thought your child would need ILR or ILE first....

But if not , then you need to be applying to register her as a BC if neither parent had settled status in the uk before the birth- regardless of being born here or not - but have now gotten settled status ( ie, ILR)after the birth...

await for more expertise please

She can travel as long as she has a valid visa to return to the UK.

Children born in the UK do not require ILR or a valid visa to register as British under section 1(3) of the nationality act. They are entitled to register.

Children born abroad DO need ILR before they can register and can only register if the parent(s) are applying to naturalise at the same time.

That's right - thanks for clearing that up CR001
