British Citizenship - questions for son
Posted: Thu Oct 25, 2018 11:36 am
My son applied with me through JCAP and NDRS online and he received his British passport . We both have held our ILR for 4 years now.
He dint have to attend a ceremony, mine is scheduled for next month he should be receiving his naturalisation certificate along with me I hope. He held an Indian passport before and was born in India.
When he turns 18 he has the option of getting either of the nationalities. But for now, since India doesn't have dual nationality and only give OCI, he only has British citizenship.
1.My question is that, since he naturalised through MN1 application sent along with my application, is it possible for him to retain his ILR card for proof of his naturalisation in the future for renewal in 5 years time and again when he turns 18, it is expiring in few months on the card anyways.
2. He is naturalised along with me, so do I have to return my ILR card after the citizenship ceremony as it serves as proof for my son's valid citizenship.
3. Would I be liable to pay £1000 since its been more than a week since he received his passport and I am trying to find these queries but to avail. (I feel my dilemma is reasonable for a parent and hope its taken into consideration)
4. Is there a phone or email I could send with this query to HO.
Any help will be much appreciated. Many thanks.
