So if you are settled in the UK, the child may be eligible to UK citizenship, provided the father is a UK/EEA national or a permanent resident in the UK. I understand "settled" to mean married to an EEA national with a residence permit, or otherwise with indefinite leave to remain, but my understanding is not thorough. You may also find a call to the UK Immigration and Nationality Directorate useful: 0845 010 5200

Congratulations on the small life

 

In order for the child to be able to to get UK citizenship, one of the parents should have a settled status in UK i.e Permanent Residence. In your case, both you and your spouse are subject to immigration control i.e with a limited leave to remain so the child is not eligible for UK citizenship. Just because you are dependent on your EEA national father doesn't give your child the right to UK citizenship. The child can either become a national of your country or that of his/her mother or maybe both if your countries allow dual citizenship. You can find it out from your embassies.
Good luck.

 

Hi billi
I am sorry I didn't mention it in my earlier reply coz I thought you were only asking about your child's right to become UK citizen. Yes I guess you are right but I am not really sure if you can apply for your child in the extended family member's category or not, but a part of me says, Yes you can ! I would suggest you better see a solicitor regarding this matter who would advice according to the current legislation OR ( if you are not in a mood to pay the solicitor ) alternatively, you could seek advice from the Europe Direct. You can either give them a call on 00800 6 7 8 9 10 11 which is a totally free number ( not from a mobile ! ) OR you can go to their webpage

http://ec.europa.eu/europedirect/index_en.htm

to send them an e-mail OR chat to an on-line available advisor.
I hope this helps.
Good luck
