its really confusing and i think its other way round, because i know people who are my family friends here who came in uk on spouse visa with their children, their father was british citizen and their mother was from Pakistan and were subject to immigration rules and they have applied for their children citizenship and got it. They had three children all of them got their passports before their mother; who had to follow the usual route and got her passport after 5 years after ILR.
Can i please know if the children of british citizen living abroad can be registered as a british citizen outside then why not in UK when they are living with parent how can this be justified? Can you please tell me which sections of immigration rules states that they cannot be registered as citizens.
and why is that she has to follow the immigration rules of less privileged parent when i am the sole bread winner of my family and i am their financial sponsor
It is very simple in fact as per nationality laws:
Children born to a
British parent will be automatically British at birth and can get passports directly.
Children born in the UK to a
settled parent will be automatically British at birth and can get passports directly.
Children born in the UK to
non-settled parents are entitled to be registered as British
AFTER one parent becomes settled. Then apply can apply for a passport when registered.
Children born
OUTSIDE the UK to non-British parents (settled or not) have NO entitlement to British citizenship at all. So they will follow the same immigration route as that of the
less-privileged parent Advice is given based on my personal research and experience only. Do NOT contact me via private message for immigration advice
