    Welcome to the forum, sorry to see your situation, I dont know enough about EEA or how having a child born in the Uk affects your situation, Im sure more members on here will be only to happy to advise and help you in your situation, good luck.. I just include something below which may or may not apply to you..

    Stay after your family permit expires
    Family permits are valid for 6 months. You can leave and enter the UK as many times as you need within that time.


    After your family permit expires
    If you want to stay in the UK you need to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme.

    You have until 30 June 2021 to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme if your EEA family member either:

    I have also been looking at this and dont believe the child qualifies to be a British citizen because all 3 of the below does not apply to either of the parents
    If at least one of your parents was a citizen of an EU or EEA country when you were born
    You’re automatically a British citizen if when you were born all of the following applied to at least one of your parents:

    If they are on a EEA family permit, then, presumably, the father must be an EU citizen, who lives in the UK, and has right of abode. Surely?

    I agree maybe I have interpreted the op wrong she says that the father is on an EU permit the same as she is.
    As I understandit a family permit is valid for 5 years then the parent or parents can move for British Citizenship or ILR.
    If I read

    the act that covers this a child of EU citizens can be considered British if one or both parents are here without time constraints. ( if they are both on the same permits then the time constraint is 5 years)

    If she is from the EU are they not covered anyway I thought EU citizens had the right to remain until the leave period is over in the EU.

    Looking at it I'm not so sure best to look at the EU settlement scheme and hope you qualify.

    It does read like that, although I took it to mean that one parent is on a family permit as the other would need to be sn EU citizen to be eligible for one.

    Perhaps clarification of nationalities is needed before proper answers can be given.

    Probably find his mother is the initial sponsor, as he has run back to her!
    We can only give answers on what's posted.

    I am bothering because someone who appears to be in a difficult spot has asked for help.
    Oh and it's British!
