Re: Newborn son (US) travelling back to UK with UK passport
Don't be overly sure of yourself.
What US officials here say and what immigration officials at immigration say can be two totally different things. And you have a significant chance of problems boarding in the UK if your kid doesn't have a US passport. UK airline staff are only used to dealing with passports - not birth certificates.
GET THE US PASSPORT.

You're taking a lot of risk. Who did you speak to at immigration? I really hope this was not the call centre number. Will this person vouch for you at the boarding gate in the UK? Upon arrival in the US?
