British Citizenship based on Child's Citizenship

Post by tier2013 » Sat Jul 30, 2016 4:30 pm

Is it possible for me to apply for British Citizenship (naturalisation) if my child is issued a British Passport? I am currently on ILR. And is it possible for my child's sibling to apply for citizenship based on the same fact?

No. You both have to qualify for BC under your own right. How long have you held ILR and where was your non-British child born? Were they born before or after you were granted ILR? What is the immigration status of the other parent?

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

Thank you for the quick reply!

Both parents are on ILR and the other child was born before we got ILR.

I'll just wait till next year.

You didn't answer Casa's question about where the child was born. If the child was born in the UK, it can now be registered as British under Section 1(3) of BNA 1981, because it has a parent with ILR. (If it has reached the age of 10, it will also have to be of 'good character', which is not normally a problem for a child.)
