Citizenship "otherwise than by descent", specific

Post by lorencew » Tue Oct 06, 2009 5:57 pm

Is a mother's UK citizenship "otherwise than by descent", so it may pass to her children :?: She has a current UK-EU passport.

She was born in Calcutta 1947, within the Crown's Dominions. Other facts: Her father was a UK citizen in crown service, working for the British Army, Intelligence Corps. The family moved back to the UK shortly after.

One of her children was born in the UK in 1967, and has a UK/EU passport. Other child born in the USA in 1969. He is eligible to apply under guide UKM, section 4c, if she is deemed to have citizenship "otherwise than by descent". Which kind of citizenship does she have :?: :?:

Was her time spent in the UK enough to convert her, or must she move back to the UK? If she has "by descent", how does one convert her citisenship "by descent" to citisenship "otherwise than by descent":?:
