All of that kind of has me thinking that my mothers registration may be irrelevant to my argument and possibly complicate things because they may simply cite that and say she was a citizen from X date forward and not at the time of my birth. After looking through the guidance pretty thoroughly I hav...
I don't that much about Right of Abode, but this flow chart helps. It will direct you to which sections of the Nationality Acts apply to your circumstances. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/710737/cukc-right-of-abode-flowchart-v1.0.pdf ...
Would it be better if I were to try to make my own case? I think based on the UKM guidance, my right of abode would be based on her citizenship and that is where I might get hung up. It does state "if, at the time of your birth your mother was not a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies by birt...
My mother seems to meet all of the requirements for the UKM registration, but the question for me becomes whether that registration would be considered to be retroactive? Because if the spirit of this is to right a wrong then it would seem that it should be, but if she is deemed to only be a citizen...
I forgot to say that my grandmother was born in the US in 1924 as was her father in 1868, but her grandparents were from Scotland. From what I've read her father may at most have been a British subject (though possibly not), but I doubt that would extend to her unless she was registered at birth.
You are looking down a vanishingly small rabbit-hole and clutching at straws (I know I am wildly mixing my metaphors, but hey, it is Friday evening). Have a read-through of the reading list below. I believe that the top two links should answer your queries about your maternal grandmother's status. ...
So, essentially, your entire case revolves around whether your maternal grandfather registered your mother as a British citizen with the UK consulate within a year of her birth. If he did, you can apply on Form UKM. If he did not, there is not much you can do now. I have already initiated a search ...
I saw a recent article about a court decision and I thought maybe I should revisit this. I hope it's ok to post this link to the article: https://asadakhan.wordpress.com/2018/02/21/gender-discrimination-and-historic-injustice-law-corrected-on-british-citizenship-through-matrilineal-descent/ This sor...
What I'm getting at is that if my father became a citizen in 1956 then he will not have had to register before I was born....which incidentally is before 1986 and any of the amendments that you're referring to. I'm liking this one, fancy a pint? Felinfoel? aka Feeling Fowl from my time in South Wal...

I was wondering if anyone here had any practical experience to draw on with this law. I'm particularly interested in this section: http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/1956/act/26/section/6/enacted/en/html#sec6 6.—(1) Every person born in Ireland is an Irish citizen from birth. (2) Every person is an ...
The only way to acquire British citizenship otherwise tha by descent is either birth in the UK or registration or naturalisation with the UK authorities. This guy was supposedly an immigration lawyer or something who used to work for the home office...so, I don't know what to tell you. I'm just try...
I think the whole argument sort of hinges on what the other guy was saying (in the link that was removed for some reason), and that was that my grandmother would have been a citizen by marriage and not descent. If she was in fact a citizen by means other than by descent then the citizenship should h...
Thank you for your reply. I e-mailed UKVI as well and was quite surprised that they actually got back to me. They basically told me the same thing. But, if you watch this short section of video it probably brings more questions than answers: Third party weblink removed by moderator Even if what he s...
I have been searching my way around in circles trying to get this all straight, so I'm hoping someone out there can set this straight: My mothers' paternal grandparents were born in the UK and immigrated to the US in 1921. My grandfather was born in 1924 (so, he should be a UK citizen by descent). H...
