Registration of children as British citizens caseworker guidance wrote:(Page 29)
Child’s parents’ circumstances
To register a child under this provision you should normally be satisfied that one of the parents is either a British citizen or has applied to be registered or naturalised as a British citizen and the application is going to be granted, and either:
•the other parent is settled in the UK
•the other parent is unlikely in the short or medium term to be returnable to their country of origin and there is no other reason to believe that the child’s future lies outside the UK
If the child’s parents have divorced or separated and the child does not have ongoing contact with the other parent you should be satisfied that either:
•the parent having day-to-day responsibility for the child is, or is about to become a British citizen
•the parent having day-to-day responsibility is settled here but there are strong reasons why registration would be appropriate It will rarely be right to register a child neither of whose parents is or is about to become a British citizen.
However, each case must be considered on its individual merits and there may be exceptional circumstances to justify registration on in a particular case such as:
•older children (16 and above) who have spent most of their life in the UK or children who require citizenship to follow a particular career such as in the Armed Forces
•the child’s future clearly lies in the UK
•the person making the application has day-to-day responsibility for the child’s upbringing and is, or is about to become, a British citizen
!! So what is the solution ? Should I hire an immigration solicitor ?
