British child refused citizenship

[londonparent]

What is the UK immigration status, if any, of the child's other parent? How long has the child lived in the UK?

When was your maternal grandfather born?

It is beginning to look as if your child has no entitlement/right to be registered as a British citizen. It may still be possible to register him as a British citizen, under Section 3(1), but that would be at the Home Office's discretion. For that you would have to prove that the child's future lies in the UK, because both parents are settled in the UK for example.

Alternatively, if the child stays with you in the UK for three years, s/he is entitled to be registered as a British citizen under Section 3(5). I believe that that would make them a British citizen otherwise than by descent. The child's UK immigration status for the initial three years will be based on that of the less-privileged parent (in this case, likely your spouse).

My partner has assets in the UK (owns a business) and has lived here for a number of years, only working for the past 2 years. He is an EU national. His brothe has lived in the UK longer and has got a passport.

Maternal grandfather born in 1925.

Also maternal great-grandparents were British, but maternal grandfather never applied for citizenship, making do with just Canadian passport.
