I would really appreciate some guidance from the moderators on this forum if possible. I am really confused as to what will be the best course of action to take.
First some background, I was on a WP for 5 years from Sep 2005. Got married in India Feb 2010 and my wife joined me in the UK as a dependent in March 2010. We were both granted ILR in Sep 2010. Now, we're expecting a baby in June and we are thinking of taking the baby to India to visit family in Oct 2011. So from my understanding, I can apply for Naturalisation for the baby after being born. I can apply for Naturalisation in Sep 2011 but my wife cannot until March 2013.
In terms of cost/ease of process, which will be the better option:
1.)To get an Indian passport for the baby when born and then apply for Naturalisation alongwith myself when we come back from India.
2.)Or register the baby when born and then I apply in Sep 2011 followed by my wife in March 2013. But then I'll have to get either an Indian visa for us both or OCI card in time for October. From my understanding it's not a quick process getting an OCI card so am really reluctant.
3.) We apply for Indian passport for the baby, and we all apply together for Naturalisation in March 2013.
4.) Any other better suggestion which I have missed?
Please let me know your thoughts/suggestion.
Thanks,
