Hi all,
I hope this email finds you well. I am seeking some advice please:
I’m British national through naturalisation (acquire British citizenship through naturalization in March 2018). Before that, I had ILR through 10 year category then become a British, then got my British passport in April 2018, but haven't lived in the UK since then as I got job abroad for 3 years.
I got married in September 2017 and I have a child who is born in September 2018 in Libya and he is 9 months old now. Due to what is happening in Libya right now, I would like to move back with my family to the UK.
My questions are:

1- Can I apply for the British passport for my son straightaway? If so, which form to use, and where to send the application form.

2- What supporting documents to send with application form and how long does it take.

3- What is MN1 Application form? Does that apply to my Kid?
4- The British embassy in Libya is closed and moved to Tunisia, what options are available please?
4- What is the best way to apply for my wife?

I will really appreciate your advice
Best wishes
Ahmed

Yes but it seems it is not possible from Libya. You may have to go to another country to apply

2- What supporting documents to send with application form and how long does it take.

Could take few months
3- What is MN1 Application form? Does that apply to my Kid?
No as MN1 is for registering a child as British. Your child is already British
4- The British embassy in Libya is closed and moved to Tunisia, what options are available please?
Find another country.
4- What is the best way to apply for my wife?
Family visa
