Hello all,
Thank you for your time and help on here.
This is my first post.
My wife and I came over via ancestral visa with our child.
We were not actually made aware by the agency we applied that my wife is actually British by decent.
We would like to now "switch" over to my wife applying for her British passport, our child applying for citizenship through MN1 form, and myself to go forward onto a spousal visa. We recently paid £100 to speak to an immigration lawyer who advised this is definitely do-able.
We have been here for the 3 years, living and both working full time.
We do meet all the requirements, I would just like to hear anybody else's point of view on this?
Here's some information below
We were all born in South Africa, my Wifes father and grandparents all British, born in England.
My wife's father was married to her South African mother before her birth.
We have currently been living in the UK on ancestral visas for approximately 3 years and 2 months.
Reasons for the switch are: My wife would be able to get her driving license, we would be able to claim child benifits ect the list goes on. Life would be easier.
I wouldn't mind starting all over to work on the 5 years again before I am eligible to apply for Ilr.
Any thoughts or concerns?
Thanking you,
Ash
