Won't help you but and you can still follow the Ancestry route if you choose to, but he would be a full British citizen if approved. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/register-as-a-british-citizen-form-ukm https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/form-ukm-guidance Apologies, I have two f...
Your father should look into registering as British on form UKM, born before 1st January 1983 to a British born mother. Costs £80. Is this just a general comment, or does (or would) it have bearing on my situation/visa or passport options? It is useful as I wasn't aware of this before, but just che...
Section 3C doesn't apply then if your visa expires in 2022. Most visa forms now ask for the last 10 year visa history and if you have been to a country. You won't be able to input this if applying in the UK for your current period of residence. Note also that your clock for ilr will reset to zero w...
Good day, I am currently working in the UK on a Tier 2 (General) visa, however I'm eligible for an ancestry visa. After a long process I've finally managed to obtain all my documents so am ready to apply. I understand that I cannot apply for this visa within the UK and will need to apply from South...

Thank you, I'm not sure what the code would be but imagine it would be 2421 (as I'm a chartered accountant and the job is as an auditor). One further question - in terms of "full birth certificates", are "unabridged certificates" generally accepted as part of ancestry applications or is it required ...
Thank you for the comprehensive response. I'm not too fussed about the job as it is essentially the same job that I'm currently pursuing but just a change in employers. Regarding "switching" - would it be possible to return to South Africa prior to the expiry of my Tier 2 visa to apply for the ances...
I currently have an offer from a company that will provide sponsorship for a tier 2 visa however I do meet the criteria for an ancestry visa. I would prefer to go across on an ancestry visa however I need to wait for my home country to issue full birth certificates which generally takes between six ...
