Child born in India in 2012( parents Indian passport holder at that time
Came to UK 2017 with parents ( tier 2 visa parents)
Mother got ILR in 2022 and child got in 2023
Mother got British citizenship in 2024feb , father Indian passport holder and not interested in British citizenship ( due to not allowing dual citizenship by Indian government)

Thanks for reply
But someone told that it is category- one or both of your parents is applying for British citizenship even though parents are not applying at the same time.
Therefore confused :?:
