hi there!
They're right, the baby should be a British citizen if born in the UK.
We have the same situation, although our son was born here in the Phils so he is Filipino.
- I am Filipina (of course)
- My husband is BRITISH CITIZEN by descent ( Filipina mom and British dad, AND he was born here in the Philippines)
- Our son was born here in the Phils ( so he is not entitled to a British passport)
If ever i'll get pregnant and have the baby in the UK, the baby WILL be entitled to a British passport and citizenship.
This was the explanation given to us by the British embassy when we tried to apply a british passport for our son before..
If i understood mike25 correctly, we're in (almost) the same situation, since he has permanent residency (father's british, and I assume he is too) and his wife will have the baby in the UK, the child is entitled to a british passport.
