I have the similar situation as illustrated below:
_____________________________
Looking into applying for British citizenship for my daughter born in 2016 in Hong Kong using the MN1 form.
I myself hold British citizenship by descent from my father who was naturalized under the British Nationality (Hong Kong) Act 1997.
I used to study in the UK for 4 years from 2004 - 2007 so should my daughter be eligible to apply for citizenship under section 3(2) given I did not spend more than 270 days abroad within 3 years?
_____________________________
Some said that it would be eligible for cases like this while when I looked into the small prints section 3(2) contained the following paragraph:
"the mother or father of the parent in question (the child’s grandparent) became or but for their death would have become, a British citizen otherwise than by descent either:
o on 1 January 1983
o at the time of the parent’s birth"
- Which is not true in our case as my father obtained citizenship in 1997 via the British Nationality (Hong Kong) Act 1997. Therefore I would like to ask if section 3(2) is still applicable to my kid? Thanks in advance!
