Right of Abode

Post by **vinny** » Mon Dec 22, 2014 3:28 am

Do appeal. Quote the Legislation.

I believe that chakarj was successful.

However, it shouldn't matter where an application was made from.

Hi Vinny ,
As quoted about the Legislation document 2006 i have submitted the same additional Documents .
My question is in that document there is one point that to be eligible for Certificate of Entitlement/ROA
What does this point mean :
(a) has a right of abode in the united kingdom under section 2(1) of the 1971 Act(5).
We need to satisfy this above condition with the additional documents .
Please explain what does this mean ?

Thanks & Regards,
Harry

British citizens do not have to worry about 6(a).

All British citizens automatically have the right of abode under section 2(1) of the 1971 Act, by definition of 2(1).

vinny wrote:6(a) is true, if 2(1) is true.
2(1) is true, if 2(1)(a) or 2(1)(b) is true.
2(1)(a) is true, if the applicant is British (*).

Iam glad to inform you all that my daughter's refusal to right of abode has been overturned by British high commission chennai.

I have sent an email to British high commission chennai stating that my daughter isBritish by descent and she is eligible to right of abode stating the legislation laws that Vinny has kindly referred.

Within two weeks I received an email from chennai visa tht an error has been made by ECO in my daughter's applicatioN and decision has been overturned.
they requested us to send the passport back to complete the formalities.
i approached vfs hyderabad to get the formalities done.
i have received the passpprt back from vfs yesterday with the Right of Abode stamp on it.

Thanks to all the moderators who helped us to get right of abode for my daughter.

Manasa.

Hi Guys,

I got British Citizen Ship via Naturalisation and My baby born in india after my naturalisation.

I applied for Right of Abode for My Kid .. Its got rejected 2 times .. First time they can't see the My Original Naturalization Certificate I provided along with the application.

Second time they rejected stating

" I accepted that you have now submitted your father's certificate of naturalisation. How ever, I note that he had obtained his British Citizenship by registration under Section 6(1) which does not entitle you to Right of Abode in the UK. I draw your attention to the following link. which details eligibility for a right of abode in the UK.

https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... _57_v4.pdf

There fore your application is refused in accordance with section 2(1) of the 1971 Act "

Please can you advice .. Are they right rejecting my kids application?

Thanks,
Ranjith.

Unfortunately, if you applied on or after 6th April 2015, they have also removed Rights of appeal, and surprisingly, there's no AR option, in this category!

lappi831's Appeal successful, as predicted.

But what has happened is we have submitted one more application for ROA from Bangalore it was rejected
last month but not went for administrative review .
Does this affect our previous appeal .

You were right that she was eligible from first.

Thanks,
Hareesh

See also Appeal procedure for Post.

When your daughter made a new application, there was no requirement to withdraw her appeal. So, (their rejection of) a new application should not affect the determination of the appeal, unless they successfully challenge it or her circumstances has changed such that they cannot issue the CoE-RoA (eg she obtained a British passport).

Hi Vinny,
Thanks for your reply.
Here is the decision the Judge gave :

Applicant was born outside the United Kingdom and the Falkland Islands on or after 1st January 1983, or outside the United Kingdom and any qualifying British overseas territory on or after 21st May 2002, to a parent born in the United Kingdom or the Falkland Islands (or, on/after 21st May 2002, any qualifying British overseas territory) or to a parent registered or naturalised in the United Kingdom prior to the applicant’s birth
Based on this Guide ROA - Legislation 2006 you get ROA
Also
I want to know more information.Once we get ROA which is valid for 5 yrs in case of chuld passport.
Can we get ROA when the child become adult passport which is valid for 10 yrs at the age of 15 yrs .

Thanks,
Harry

A CoE-RoA is valid for the duration of the passport, unless cancelled.

Hi Vinny,
Finally we got ROA for our daughter .Your guidance was outstanding.I have consulted more than 13 lawyers even today they say she is not eligible for ROA .Thanks for your help in giving confidence.
Because of ECO/ECM mistake it took 1yr to get ROA.

Just wanted to know some information on the Visa they have mentioned Obsrv as section 2(1)(a) it means
she is british citizen ,right .If we apply when on new passport after the expiry of old passport ,we still get
ROA as long as we keep Indian passport .

Thanks,
Harry

Hi,
Section 2(1)(a) simply is pointing to the correct law under which you got the ROA. All British citizen have ROA.
Unfortunately ROA expires with the passport so if you get a new passport you will have to get new ROA sticker on the new passport.
Congratulations on getting ROA
