My partner’s parents lived in the UK in the 1970s. Her father arrived from Nigeria in 1972 as a student on scholarship. My partner and her immediate older sibling were born in the UK in 1975 and 1979. They are both British citizens. Her parents obtained ILR in 1978. The parents returned to Nigeria in 1979 and did not return to the UK. My partner and her sibling returned to live in the UK in 2004 and have remained here ever.
Sadly my partner’s father passed away earlier this year and since then we’ve been considering if it’s possible for her mother to come back to the UK to live with us and her grandchildren. She has 5 grandchildren whom she has not met. Whilst she was living in the UK she worked and we are unsure if she’s entitled to pension at all.
We are in possession of my partner’s parents’ expired Nigerian passports which are endorsed with ILR stamps and letters from the Home Office dated May 1978 informing them that they’ve been granted ILR.
I would welcome any advice that I can be given in this matter.
Thanks in advance.
