I think it may be a grey area, since a UK born child without any leave to expire cannot be an overstayer. Then if a parent has ILR, will they consider child as ordinarily resident? Probably safer to get adequate health insurance to cover child’s healthcare costs before child is granted British citiz...

NTL just confirms Indefinite Leave. It doesn’t confer anything. Therefore, it’s not equivalent to Indefinite Leave to Enter or Remain. If you didn’t have ILE nor ILR, then it was endorsed in error.
