When can a child born in the UK apply for British Citizenship?

A child born in the UK is entitled to become a British Citizen one his/her parent(s) become settled in the UK, ie once parent(s) get an ILR or in case of EEA nationals after exercising Treaty rights for 5 years.

SAME-DAY INDEFINITE LEAVE TO REMAIN - APPLY NOW before it becomes biometric in March, appointments will become more limited!

From March 2012 (from 29th Feb actually) ILR applications will become biometric (fingerprints will be needed), same as Tier 1, 2, PSW or Spouse/Partner now. Because more visa categories will be 'squeezed' into a limited number of biometric appointments it will mean a much reduced number of Premium service appointments and possibly higher prices! APPLY NOW! Until March our company, 1st 4Immigration, can submit ILR applications every Tuesday WITHOUT APPOINTMENTS! This (submission without appointments) is going to stop in March and we would have to book a biometric slot which are very limited now and will be even more limited next year due to UKBA staff cuts. http://www.1st4immigration.com/
