I have applied for my children's passports twice once on a regular application this was refused- fine understood and then the second time on the mn1 under the discretion section because I was advised by UKVI to do this but have been refused again!!! Their holiday visas have now expired & I am hugely concerned. I am not a rule breaker and have done what I have been told. Please could someone help! I would like to make an appeal based on human rights. I am divorced from the children's father, he has given consent, the court in my country has furthermore said the children are to live with myself. My ex husband has 3 children with his new wife and cannot financially support mine. I have recently become engaged to my partner who is also a bc, we both work full time to support our family. I cannot understand this broken vending machine type situation.

Through what route are you British?

How long have you been in the UK?

Have you lived in the UK before (as a child perhaps)?

What are the children's nationality?

Under what section of the nationality act have you applied for children (there are different ones depending on YOUR situation)?

And what is immigration status of children?
- the reference to a visitor visa is troubling.

I assume child were born abroad, is that correct?
Are they now in UK?
Do they have settled status (ILR or PR)?

Just to be sure, you say you are applying for their passports, but then mention the MN1 application. Assuming you mean that you are trying to register them as British citizens (and not applying for passports), on what grounds were the registrations refused? The first 'application' you made: Did you use adult citizenship applications (or passport applications?) for the children? I'm struggling to get the math to add up to £1750.

I'm just wondering if the children aren't already citizens and, due to some misunderstandings, you are going about this all wrong.

Agree and hence my questions, yet to be answered.
