Hi,
Myself,Wife and my Child recently got ILR, me being the main applicant under WP+HSMP+TIER1 scheme.

I understand I can apply for BC, after 1 year of completing ILR which would be next february.

Feb2012 myself and my wife would have completed 6 years in the UK(and 1 Year ILR), however my child was born in June2007(in my home country) and entered UK in Sep2007, hence would not have completed 5 years in Feb2012.Does it mean that my Child can apply for BC only in Sep2012??

Thanks
Val

You may apply for your child's registration as a British citizen no earlier than either parent's / joint naturalisation application.
