MN1 new (Dec-2015) rules - clarification- child born abroad
Posted: Wed Dec 23, 2015 5:46 pm
Hi,
Could you please advise about the below scenario:
My current immigration status - British Citizen (received on 3rd Nov 2015).
My wife's immigration status - ILR. (received on 1st Aug 2014).
My daughter (3 years old) immigration status - ILE (Indefinite Leave to Enter, received on Oct 2014).
I have started filling MN1 form for my daughter and noticed a rule on guide, Dec-2015.
In guide:
(https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... r_2015.pdf)
as per Section 3 (5) (page 9/34), our daughter should be physically present in the UK at the start of the 3 year period and child should not have been absent from the UK for more than 270 days during the 3 year residential period.
my child does not meet the above criteria.
Another rule 3(1) in the same guide (Page 12/34) , advises that child born abroad can be included in a family application and will be considered at the Home Secretary's discretion.
QUESTION - Is it okay to apply for child's registration (naturalisation) not as a part of family application? Have anybody applied for their children not as a part of family application and got child registered successfully in the same circumstances (father - British citizen, mother - ILR, child - ILE).
Please advise, many thanks.
