Hi All,

I am hoping to receive clarification about something that I have been given vastly contradictory evidence about. I have a daughter who was born in the UK and is a dependent on my Tier 2 visa. Knocking on wood (there are a few things I am worried about), I will receive indefinite leave to remain in a year. I was just told that my daughter would be eligible for UK citizenship as soon as I obtained ILR. Can anybody confirm if this is true?

Somebody over the UKVI helpline told me that she would only be eligible for ILR after 10 years living in the UK.

Thanks!

If she is born in the UK, your daughter is entitled (i.e. can not be refused) to register as a British citizen when either one of the parents gets ILR.

If there is anything in particular you are worried about, feel free to ask in another topic. Maybe we can help.

Registration as a British citizen - a guide about the registration of children under 18: guide MN1 - Page 8 says as below :-

"Section 1(3) - A child born in the UK whose parents are not British citizens and were not settled in the UK will have an entitlement to register when one of their parents become settled in the UK or become British citizens."
