The time will only start in June if you can evidence it. Do you have a copy of your travel ticket to the U.K.? Bank statements showing activity in the U.K. at the end of 2012. Any rental/hotel documentation from that time? Otherwise the likely start date will be July 13. Your partner will need to ob...
Good that it was resolved. It does indicate that the JCAP process isn't failsafe. Although in fairness- 2 weeks after citizenship ceremony was not so far outside standard timescales.
Thank you both for a prompt answer to my queries. Registration as British Citizen sounds much better than naturalisation. Registration is a simplified form of naturalisation. I haven't got my naturalisation ceremony yet (in Early Dec). Would it better to wait with the MN1 form till Ceremony or does...
You appear to qualify for MN1 registration under policy in every respect but one- it appears that you do not have Permanent Resident status under the EEA Regulations. It's less than 5 years since you came to the U.K.(only in exceptional cases does Permanent Residence come sooner) and since your fath...
Home Office EEA guidance on qualified persons suggests that there is an unconditional period of 3 months after first arrival, and then a further period where one is treated as a jobseeker. https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/588174/EEA-qualified-persons-v4_0EXT....
Why kind of checks? Obviously- they need to check ID, that the person making the application is the same person as the person referred to on the documents. They need to verify that the applicant is a British citizen, or British national, as the case may be. There are other checks which vary case by ...
She can visit the U.K. if she has the appropriate passport and entry visa (if required)- and if admitted by an Immigration Officer on arrival. However, submission of an application for registration as a British citizen does not in itself give any entitlement to move to the United Kingdom.

I have scrolled through and haven't seen a timeline for this specific topic so my apologies if this is a duplicate. My husband and I are in Ireland (Northern) after a successful EEA application...we weren't sure we'd get it given the fact I am a dual Irish/British citizen but they did... perhaps in...
1) you cannot naturalise a child - children are being registered not naturalised 2)if a child was born in the UK and at least one of the parents have settled in the UK - you can apply for a registration of a child using form MN1 Same applies if one of the parents has become a British citizen. In fa...
There is substantial discussion of Home Office policy in the following document, starting at page 27. Not all sections will apply. https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/638649/Registration-as-a-British-citizen-children-v2.0EXT.pdf In general- if the child is livin...
That's a valid point because who knows what's happen but on the other side when I requested SAR all the dates of issuing registration certificate and permanent residency card where on Home Office record - unlikely for them to just lose such a important peace of information . If in transit yes but o...
You arrived in 1973- but on what basis were you admitted by the United Kingdom. Were you granted an immigrant/settlement entry clearance in your Barbados passport? People from colonies generally lost British nationality on independence (Barbados- in 1966) unless they had certain ties through birth o...
Are you sure you are filling out the right form? Income and expenditure etc. is irrelevant for a Right of Abode application. That said- it's not clear from the Home Office site how to even get to the correct application form for Right of Abode from overseas. It would also be recommended to get a Bri...
Child does not have to be in the United Kingdom. The registration certificate will be sent directly to the address requested. Unless child is close to age 18 and turns 18 during processing. Then the child needs to attend a citizenship ceremony either in the U.K. or at a British diplomatic post. If b...
Your son is eligible for registration as a British citizen. As long as application is made before he turns 18. (also- if you wait until he is 10, then there is a good character requirement). Whether or not your son has ILR is irrelevant to the application but in this case he has it- so enter the det...
Unclear what can be added to the information already supplied. There appears to be a couple of options to become a British citizen. As it appears that you are stateless then form S2 may be best because a. it gives British citizenship otherwise than by descent and b. it does not require the Home Offi...
Child can be registered as a British citizen. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/application-to-register-child-under-18-as-british-citizen-form-mn1 Child will lose Indian citizenship upon becoming British- although this may not be important. A British passport can be applied for in India alt...
Child does not have to be living in the U.K. for this kind of registration.
You say you have ILR- are you living in the United Kingdom? It's not enough to have ILR in itself- the parent must also be ordinarily resident in the U.K.
The child is U.K. born with a parent who has Permanent Resident status. For this kind of registration (section 1(3) of the British Nationality Act) the consent of the other parent is not required. Nor is it necessary to submit any documentation regarding that parent. Depending on the EEA/other count...
Since you are now a British citizen and she was born in the U.K., she can be registered as a British citizen. As long as application is made before age 18 and she meets the good character requirements.
Does she have another citizenship and if so, will she retain or lose this upon becoming British?
Keep all of these documents- permanently. There is always the possibility that in the future you may have to show that you were a PR on a specific date- or even that the Home Office could lose your citizenship file. In addition- you should always keep a valid British passport (it is the de-facto ID/...
No point to withdrawing the passport application. You'll lose the fee and will have to pay again when reapplying. It may be an option to ask the Passport Office if they will hold the application while you apply for a Nationality Status Certificate- they might or they might not do so. If they don't, ...
