Please can you help me???

As you know, my noodle is due in May, and I assume we have to register him with the UK and the SA authoroties.

Hubby and I are here on Ancestral, and we only qualify for ILR in 2007. How do I go about registering baby and do I also have to apply for an Ancestral Dependant visa for him?

Then the other thing.... we want to go back some time after he is born to have him Christened with the whole family, as we need to get a passport for him... how now??

Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated, so that at least I know what to do when he is born....
I dont know how things are in the UK, but over here I contacted the South African Embassy.

You need to fill out a BI-24 I think, as well as some other forms. They will need your passports, marriage cert. and the babies birth certificate. I have just sent all this away to them last week, and should be hearing from them soon.

I would imagine that the procedure fro the Embassy over there is prett much the same.. :thumbs:
