MN1 application from overseas

Post by Obie » Thu Feb 28, 2019 12:37 pm

Hello guys. I am not asking a legal question as I am confident about the legal position already.

Now I wonder if any person has made an MN1 application for a child who is based overseas, and how they were able to get the biometrics done for such child.

There is no Home office guidance on this.

Has anyone done it before, and what was the process.

Thanks VInny.

It looks like i may have to take the UKVI to court in the end, if they continue their intransigent approach.

A parent can register a child under section 1(3) irrespective of the child's geographical location.

If the Home Office has a biometric system in place, then they must have facilities in place for such child to enrol it, otherwise they must waive the biometrics requirement.

Home Office and the Tribunal have done their best to frustrate me on the Sole Responsibility requirement. It is about time i frustrate them aswell with this. It is pointless sending a biometric for a child to enrol at a UK post office, when you have refused the potential british child to enter the country, and you don't provide the child the right that the statue confer on her once her parents become settled.

Now all the statutory requirements are met, and you are putting an administrative barrier to the child becoming a British citizen. It is outrageous.

I haven't been able to scour all the MN1 from abroad-related posts, but I'm curious if there is is a known issue? I recently registered myself from the USA via UKF and am in the process of registering my kids via MN1 and I'm trying to understand why they wouldn't just use the same biometrics process they do for adults. I'm really hoping that is the case as it was a snap to get my biometrics done and I don't know why the MN1 applications would be any different. Are others having the same difficulty specifically with registering children??
