Urgent advise please! Baby's UK passport refused
Does anyone have any experience or advise please. My 3month baby's UK passport application has been refused as she was born in Abu dhabi and they say as her parents got citizenship by descent that we can't pass this on to a 2nd generation of family also born abroad. Am shocked and worried as if I had known would have had the baby in the Uk instead then she would have got a passport automatically.
Have been told to now apply for British citizenship for baby, any idea how long this takes and procedure. I will speak to British embassy in UAE after weekend as can't get through to anyone in UK by phone but worried that will be fined if baby does not have residency visa after 4 months of birth in a passport. Can anyone recommend best way forward or who to contact to assist, many thanks. Both me and hubby have Brit passports and citizenship as do grandparents so can't understand how they expect baby born here to get UAE passport. I think it is called certificate of registration for child born abroad to UK citizen parents by descent.
