MN1 for a child born outside UK -parent british by decent

[MN1 3(2)]

Hello,

I am British by decent, and have lived in the UK for 10 years in the past.
My son was born outside the UK. We are now in the UK. My son entered as a tourist.
and now I decided to apply for his citizenship.

I have a number of question and will be very grateful for your help.

Premium service: is there premium service for MN1? How long does it then take for the results? and if they have comments or rejections, and we need to come again, will that be included in the 400 pounds fees?

SECTION 1.3 My son entered the UK as a tourist. Has not been given indefinite leave. is this a required stage prior to submission of MN1 application?

SECTION 2.4 In which country will the child live if the application is granted? We do not know yet. We hope to stay here for few years but then perhaps move again. is it significant for the decision?

SECTION 3.3 The parent absence from the UK - I'm doing detective work here with passports and flight tickets... however, is there a way to get a list of my entrances and departure from the UK?
It is not a requirement to send proofs that I have lived here for the required 3 years, but is it advisable?

Documents needed to enclose:
* Evidence of residence: is a letter from the GP or NHS sufficient for a one year old child? And utilities bills for parents?
* Child's passport, required since we live here. Is it OK to ask them to return the passport ASAP?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Seniors can tell you better, here is my guess:

1. No premium service for Naturalisation applications, that is for sure. You can use Nationality Checking Service (NCS) to have your documents and passports etc checked, and passports/BRP returned to you same day and they send the application for you.

2. I dont think so.

3. Yes, you need to declare at least one country from within the UK. I suggest since you don't know the provide correct current information ie the place you live now.

4. Your Passport should have your entry stamps upon entry through ports, but for inter-EU you might have to continue your detective work.

Good luck.
