Mate, today I got a confirmation email from UKBA stating that, my daughter will be allowed entry in UK on return from abroad based on the fact that her MN1 application is in process and she was born in UK even if her Tier 1 dependent visa expires.

You can also send an email and keep it as a proof to NationalityHelpdesk@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk and Furthernationalityenquiries@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk

Hi,

Even though they told that they have stopped my friends son when they were coming back to UK. After a long argument they made a note on my friends son's account and allowed eventually in to UK. Also they mentioned because he is minor they cannot send them back.
So I would recommend you to take a print out of the letter you received from UKBA, MN1 application acknowledgement, Birth certificate just in case and any other documents that you can think of that may required.

This isn't true what you have been quoted and understood, I applied my sibling passport day before yesterday through fast track and none of the parents are british citizen, the help line for appointment don't know much about it. When i booked they said concerened department will give you a ring, which they did and said as long as baby got naturlisation certificate its ok. The experience at the passport office was brilliant he kept the naturlisation certificate and birth certificate (will return through post later). My nail aren't rusty its clean and I hope and pray your will be very soon as well.

Take care and best of luck.

Hi Ash, I assure you my nails are very clean. The screen name has nothing to do with any part of the human body, or with nails that you hammer into things, in case that is your next guess.

I did get incorrect information from 3 different people when I called to book the fast track appointment. I went ahead with booking an appointment anyway, which my wife attended on Wednesday 10/09/2014 and the passport arrived on 13/09/2014.

Bottomline: Too many people working in the passport office do not have the requisite knowledge to be on the job.

Good luck to all applying their passports.

Almost took 4.5 mths to get an approval...best of luck to everyone who are waiting for the certificate..

It seems to be taking 4 months to get the certificate back these days.
I applied 12th June. In the same situation as you.
Urge to be patient and wait until the official 6 months, as quoted by HO, have passed.
If your kid has the current dependent visa against your work visa, try using that for travel (if you have to) as its still valid.

Registration certificates received : 19/09/2014
Certificates dated : 15/09/2014

I applied MN1 for my 3 kids all born in the UK. Their applications were submitted after mine and their mum's ILR. We both obtained our ILR at PEO.

It took exactly 4 months from the date we applied at NCS.

Hi

For all those who have been waiting for 4 months or so, I would suggest to call HO at least once.

I had submitted MN1 for my daughter using NCS on 9th May.

I waited and called them only once on 10th Sep morning around 11 am and was told that application is under consideration and I should expect the outcome in next 2 weeks.

Surprisingly, I got the certificate on 13th Sep with Certificate date of 10th Sep and Cover Letter dated 11th Sep. Somehow, I feel they may have pushed the application on the same day(I have read abt such cases where application been pushed immediately after receiving enquiry call). So, I would suggest to give a call to them at least once and hope for the best in next few days.

Thanks

It's just coincidence that you phoned on 10th and received the certificates on 13th. They are actually processing these days the applications submitted during 1st and 2nd May. They will not push the case up on a telephone call. It's just a myth. They tell clearly to wait up to 6 months before you give a follow up call.

I mean applications submitted in 1st and 2nd week of May 2014 are being processed these days.

Yes I agree nothing to do with the phone call I never called them and got the certificate exactly in 4months time and think that applications submitted through NCS are taking 4 months and where as those applied by post taking longer then 4 months.

Also I think if someone ask their documents to back before the decision then it may add extra time.

Good luck for those waiting.

hi I am british citizen by descent came to uk 1987 and my father is british other then descent. got married in morocco 2011 my wife got spouse visa 2014 same month we hand baby boy on 19/01/2014 can I register my son has British I live in uk and can I use mn 1 form please help everyone telling me different story's my son is still in morocco . and can register him under this ???



Under s of the British Nationality Act 1981 if a child is born outside the UK to a parent who is a UK citizen by descent provided that the child’s parent lived for a period of three years in the UK before the child was born. This is citizenship by registration and it is under s 3(2) of the above act, which is here:-
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1981/61


This is outlined at section 13 of the following document:-
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... 03/bn4.pdf

This is further confirmed in the guidance notes to the application at the section on page 10 titled “Children born abroad to British parents – Section 3 (2) or section 3 (5) application”:-
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... e_2014.pdf

Form MN1 is the correct application form to register the child. The application fee is quite high (I believe £823) so I would strongly suggest that you gather together all the supporting documents first and get these and the application checked by a UK immigration solicitor in order to be sure that the application will not be rejected when you make it, because obviously you do not want to lose the application fee.

My goal is to provide you with a good service. If you feel you have received anything less, please reply back as I am happy to address follow-up issues specifically relating to your question. ????
