MN1 Application for child born in India.
Posted: Fri Dec 28, 2018 1:46 pm
Hi All,
Need advice, to confirm that my understanding and section for MN1 application for daughter's British Citizenship is correct and can go ahead with application.
Timelines:
1. Child born in India. July 2006.
2. Parents and Child got Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) together - July 2011.
3. Father Naturalised as British Citizen. Apr 2013.
4. Mother holds Indian Passport.
As I undestand, we should use MN1, most IMPORTANT,apply under Section 3(1)[Discretionary applications under section 3(1)].
In our daughter's case, Registration under section 3(1) will give British citizenship otherwise than by descent.
Documents required for registering a child as a British Citizen:
1. Completed MN1 application form with two referees and written consent from both parents
2. Proof child has indefinite leave to remain: Child's Indian passport.
3. Proof both parents have indefinite leave to remain: Father's British Passport. Mother's Indian Passport with ILR.
4. Proof the child has been living in the UK for the last two years (passports, travel documents and school/ college letters): School letter.
5. Full birth certificate and a translation
6. Passport or visa used to enter the UK (not essential): Child's 1st Indian passport with UK entry stamp.
7. Both parents passports - Evidence that one parent is British and the other has indefinite leave to remain: Father's British Passport. Mother's Indian Passport with ILR.
8. Parents Marriage certificate
Mother will eventually be getting Naturalised as British Citizen. I hope currently not having British Citizenship, still holding ILR will not negatively affect child's application. Please let me know, if you think, this should be addressed in any specific manner, or will it be safer to apply both Child and Mothers application together.
I eagerly look forward to your confirmation and valuable inputs.
Thanks.
Regards,
Tier1 man.
