Thanks...I wonder what on Earth is meant by the words in point (ii) then. Why didn't they just phrase it: f. Or - if the child was born on or after 21 May 2002, the parent in question: i. had, at any time before the minor's birth lived a qualifying territory for a continuous period of 3 years; and i...
Thanks and fully noted that a 3(5) application gives the better status. However, I am not sure if Parents plus Baby will live in a QT for 3+ years post birth. Therefore I am still mindful that 3(2) may ultimately be the apt. route. Here I quote the following from the Guidance publication: f. Or - if...
That is where I read the legislation that I go through above; I also read the Guide document you pointed me to but I see that it too refers to "QTs" provided Baby is born after 2002 (which he was).
Dear D4109125: Thank you for pointing me to section 3(2) of the BNA; As I read it: I am the married father of a baby (the “Baby”). Baby, even if born outside the UK and a QT, will be entitled to be registered as a British citizen [by descent?] under section 3(2) because: • I was a British citizen wh...
By the way, I think I read something covering this scenario once.....and got the impression that my child could be British if the mother simply opted to leave the territory to have the baby. But obviously I am not too sure about it as if I was, I would not be asking here!..Best.
(1) one of my parents is British otherwise than by descent (2) I have never lived in the UK, I have lived in a QT for more than 3 years, which is where I live now. If the child is born abroad (neither UK or QT) would it be entitled to register as British by descent if the child (as planned) comes ba...
SCENARIO FACTS: - I am a regular UK citizen but only by descent; - I am living in a British Overseas Territory and have been for 3 years; I hold a work permit here; I do not have any "belonger" or other status here, nor am I a BOT citizen; - My wife is pregnant and we are deciding where to have the ...
Hypothetical: (1) I am married to a UK citizen and living in a British Overseas Territory*, does my residence here with my UK citizen spouse count towards naturalising as a UK citizen? (2) If the answer is yes to the above, how long must I live here? (3) If my spouse was not a UK citizen when I marr...
I have lots of unanswered questions left if any one wants to help out! Thank you Jaj for your opinion that I don't need to submit my passport. I expect you are right as they don't list it as a document in the UKM guide. In terms of police checks, I am no futher on. I am aware that the UKM guide stat...
Thank you Vinny and Jumbo very much. Your replies are very helpful. I would appreciate some extra help, about the following. DOCUMENTATION This is the UKM documentation I propose to submit: - Completed Form UKM; - Payment; - My mother’s original UK birth certificate (1946); - My mother’s original no...
As you were born before 1983 I don't think you can apply for a passport yet. I believe you have to register as a UK citizen. For clarity, you are already a UK citizen and once registered will be regarded as having been a UK citizen since your birth. But, you will have to register. I have posted a qu...
I am considering applying to be registered as a British citizen. I was born before 1983 outside the UK to a mother born in the 1946 inside the UK (to UK born parents). I refer to “GUIDE UKM” published by the UK Border Agency. It advises that, among the documents I must send with my application is th...
