Also, i would like to point out as well, if the child is born outside the UK and you do not register them, they will become stateless but again, as parents you need to have settled status or British citizenship for registering your child as a British Citizenship to bring them over to the UK.
Just to give you an idea of what i mean, the
S2 guidance refers to the requirements which are:
2. The requirements you have to meet
Notes
To be registered:
● you must have been
stateless when you were
born
AND
● you must always have been
stateless
AND
● you must have been born
on or after 1 January 1983
AND
● you must have been born
outside the United Kingdom
and the British overseas
territories
AND
● you must have been in the UK or a
British overseas territory at the
beginning of the period of 3 years
ending with the date of application
AND
you should not have been absent
from the United Kingdom or British
overseas territory for more than 270
days in that 3 year period
AND
when you were born, your mother
or father was:
a British citizen
a British overseas
territories citizen
British Overseas citizen or
a British subject
again, you should also refer to the
MN1 guidance as well.
the only other thing that i can see in the MN1 guidance is on page 14:
Registration at the Home Secretary’s discretion – Section 3(1)
application
Scroll down to page 16 titled:
Any other child born to British or non-British parents
It is not possible to cover all circumstances under which the Home Secretary might
exercise discretion in circumstances not already described in this guide. However,
in considering any application not specifically covered above consideration will be
given to:
the child’s connections with the UK – we would expect the child to be free of
any restrictions on their stay in the UK
where the child’s future is likely to lie
the parents’ views
the parents’ nationality and immigration status – we expect either both parents
to be British citizens or one parent a British citizen and the other parent settled
in the UK
whether the child is of good character
the length of time the child has lived in the UK – we expect at least 2 years
residence (particularly if the child is over the age of 13)
any compelling circumstances
The way that discretion may be exercised is described in the Nationality Staff
Instructions available for viewing on the Gov.uk website. These guidance
documents used by trained nationality caseworkers and do not constitute a
definitive set of criteria for registration. They must be taken as a whole. The fact
that children may satisfy certain criteria does not mean they will be registered if
there are other criteria that they do not satisfy.
again not to cause stress or displease you on the above information, again this is my understanding of it all.
**EDIT**
after re-reading your dates of coming back to the UK, you would have to include your child in your application of ILR, but before then, my understanding you may need entry clearance for the child. Again if some clarification can be sought.
Sorry maybe i have misunderstood the question.
