MN1 eligibility for child born outside the UK

[vik_mad]

Hello,

I have recently read one of the post which mentioned about the child’s registration/naturalisation for BC hence the question below:

Myself, wife and son (4 yrs) are going to apply for naturalisation sometime mid of this month. We all have got the ILR on 17/05/2012. My son was NOT born in the UK therefore if someone could please confirm what options do I have for naturalisation, I guess :-

1. All of us can apply for naturalisation using AN & MN1 forms
2. Or go for what has mentioned in the FAQ’s as below

born abroad

If the child was born outside the UK, then once one parent applies for naturalisation, the child can apply for Registration under section 3(1). The is application at discretion and the HO would expect that the other parent to hold (or to be close to holding) a ILR/PR status.
For the guidelines on Registration at discretion see section 9.17 .

I am not sure what the best option is however what difference it would make if I go for 1st option or I may be completely wrong in what I have stated above.

Thanks for the advice.

I'm not following what is the difference between option 1 and 2.

i don't know - that why i am confused.

What is the way go forward-shall we all apply using AN & MN1 form?
