Dear all,

I would be grateful to all of you who will try to help me here.

Our Background:

Father is a British Citizen, Spouse has ILR and has applied for her Naturalization and is currently under process.

Spouse will be travelling India to deliver a baby.

Questions:

(1) What will be the nationality of the new born baby? Indian / British
(2) Based on what will the baby's Citizenship be decided?
(3) What documents are we expected to submit for Indian and British Embassies?

Please advise. Thanks in advance.

I'm not an expert on Indian nationality laws but if both parents are British and the child is born in India I believe the child is only British.

For Indian related matters better to check the Other countries section of the forums.

British citizenship may descend to one generation born abroad. So if you were born outside the United Kingdom or qualifying territory and one of your parents was a British citizen otherwise than by descent, you are a British citizen by descent. If you were born before 1 July 2006 you may not qualify if your parents were not married at the time of your birth.
