Child is British under section 1(1)(b). May apply for either a British passport or a CoE to the RoA.

Asia Pacific Lawyers, just a few months ago you were enquiring about sample cover letter(s) for Tier 1 (General) application and today you are already a British citizen! I believe you have already been advised by another moderator not to use this forum to seek advice for your "clients".
