British Citizenship for my daughter

[Momfirsttime]

Hi,

I have just received my ILR. MY daughter (who is born in UK) is 2 year old and dependant on my husband' visa. I wanted advice regarding the below:

- Should we apply for ILR for both my husband and my daughter?
- Should we apply for ILR for my husband and we can apply British citizen ship next year? Will my daughter's visa remain valid if my husband's visa is replaced by ILR.
- should we only apply for ILR for my husband and British citizenship for my daughter?


If we go with the second option and apply for BC for my daughter through NCS:
- Do they return all the documents including Biometric residence permit
- Can I travel the next day after submitting the application through NCS to India for 3 weeks or there are any constraints?

Apologies for the long post. Request the senior members to kindly advice.

Daughter's leave remains valid.

Daughter is immediately entitled to register as a British citizen.

Hi,
I have received my British Citizenship 2 years ago after my ILR and my child is born at abroad this month. Could you please advise on the below?

1) Can I apply British Citizenship to my child, if so where do I need to apply and which form to choose?
2) What is the category that I need to apply since the child is born abroad.

Kindly advise?

Thanks in advance.
Kris.

Thanks Vinny for the quick response.
Apologies, but I am still not clear. My husband is on Tier 2 ICT and my daughter is on a dependant visa which is valid till Feb-2014.

- Is it okay if we only apply for my husband's ILR and not include my daughter in the application? If the ILR application for my husband is granted, we can directly apply for her UK passport.
- Will her visa remain valid till Feb 2014, if my husband's visa status is changed form Tier 2 ICT to ILR?

Can you please advice on the below as well:

It's okay not to include daughter in husband's ILR application.

The NCS should return all original documents.
Probably okay to travel.

Child is automatically British by descent (2(1)(a)). Just apply for child's British passport.

Thats wrong info Vinny...

The OP has to apply for naturalisation certificate for her daughter first and then apply for British passport. This is because OP was not British Citizen she had another country passport.

Regarding travelling yes you can travel next day after applying via NCS however its not recommended as the UKBA/HO might need to contact you regarding the application

Vinny is correct as the poster is British otherwise than by descent thus the child born abroad is British by descent thus automatically British and can apply for a British Passport. Furthermore, you do not naturalise children, you register them.

If you are relating to the OP, vinny was also correct when he said the child is entitled to be registered as British by virtue of section 1(3).
