The child born outside the UK will qualify to apply for citizenship if they hold settled status AND either parent is also applying for citizenship and the other parent is settled. A child born abroad has no entitlement to register. As your child is 15, they are also subject to eh good character requirment.

A UK born child has an entitlement to register as British once either parent is settled.

Unlikely as the parents are not British either. If your try and it is refused, you lose your fee.
