For non UK citizen, would my chiled be a UK citizen?

Hi,

Just a quick question.

Both my wife and I non UK citizen, with student visa and dependant visa.
If my wife deliver the baby in the UK, would he/she be entitled to become a UK citizen?

Thank you

From Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_nationality_law#British_citizenship_by_birth_in_the_United_Kingdom

British citizenship by birth in the United Kingdom

Under the law in effect from 1 January 1983, a child born in the UK to a parent who is a British citizen or 'settled' in the UK is automatically a British citizen by birth.

Only one parent needs to meet this requirement, either the father or the mother.

"Settled" status in this context usually means the parent is resident in the United Kingdom and has the Right of Abode, holds Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR), or is the citizen of an EU/EEA country and has permanent residence. Irish citizens in the UK are also deemed to be settled for this purpose.

Here is an official link: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/britishcitizenship/eligibility/children/britishcitizen/borninuk/

There are a few more subtleties then the wikipedia stuff, but generally speaking unless one of the parents is also a British Citizen who is "settled" in the UK, the child is not entitled to UK Citizenship by being born in the UK.
