if yes Which category i should apply the application under section 1(3) or different
This is something very urgent please respond
You can register your daughter under section 1(3)
So there should not be any problem. Since I am on ILR and wife is on Tier2 dependent visa ? My daughter was out in 2012 for 6 month and she was out for 15 month in 2014. Is the no of days outside UK is not applicable for her ? Please confirm[/quote
The term used for children applications as BC is
Registration and not Naturalisation. The requirements for children are a lot simpler than for adults.
UK born
In the child was born in the UK before one parent had ILR/PR, then once one parent is granted ILR, the child is entitled register as BC under section 1(3) of the British Nationality Act irrespective of their immigration status.
This application is an entitlement and as such the HO has no discretion in the decision if the statutory requirements are met. The application can be made any time before the child is 18. The only documents required are UK birth certificate and evidence that parent obtained ILR/PR. The application can be made if the child is in the UK or abroad.
If the child was born in the UK after one parent has ILR/PR, then the child is British from birth and can apply directly for a passport.
