Evidence of living in Canada. Utility bills perhaps, and your Canadian adoption records should also show you're living in Canada, but what about: - Copy of your provincial drivers licence/ID card - Copy of your PR Card or Canadian citizenship certificate - Copy of your Canadian federal/provincial ta...
Hi gravesender, it will start from Feb 2008. They don't care when you started at the job, just the date of issue. Wife had similar, but didn't register for a couple of years. It is only relevant up to March/May/Dec 2011 (Depending on source) Qman - this is not correct. A person who applied for regi...
I see no reason why the PR documentation already issued would not be sufficient. In theory they could request evidence to show that the parent was still "ordinarily resident" in the United Kingdom (settled= ILR/PR + ordinary residence) but this would be unusual. It is not routinely requested where p...
While there, our case worker was super nice and we asked him about our son's case. He said without a doubt that he is also British as long as I can prove with any document that I was exerting my EEA rights from the time I arrived at London for my MSc. So it is OK to start counting from my arrival. ...
Based on the facts given, the only way your father would be British "by descent" is if his own father or paternal grandfather was U.K. born (or naturalised). If he simply went to the U.K. to study in 1969 on a visa/permit (without U.K. ancestry), and was granted settled status after 4 or 5 years, he...
Although the Minister can- in theory- revoke the citizenship of a naturalised Irish citizen who acquires another citizenship, there is no evidence that this is done routinely. Or even if it's ever been done? Same applies to those naturalised citizens resident outside the island of Ireland. While the...
Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) information on naturalisation: http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/WP16000022 The law and underlying policy talk about "reckonable residence" rather than physical presence. Your wife was absent in Thailand for a few months but presumably remained ...
Unfortunately- and unlike most countries- there is no Passports Act in force in the United Kingdom. In other words, there is no statute law governing the issue of British citizen passports which means that the Passport Office can refuse an application without any particular need to give a reason or ...
The requirement for references is discussed at this section of the Nationality Instructions (pages 9-10). https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/631639/Nationality-policy-general-information-all-British-nationals-v1.0EXT.pdf However, Section 1(3) registration is an...
The child is automatically British. The only ways od creating a record of that fact are to obtain a British passport (recommended) or apply for a Certificate of Entitlement to Right of Abode, which is only sensible when there are penalties for holding a British passport or problems obtaining a Brit...
As far as I understand, and as the comments in your previous post state, you would only be considered British if in the UK, which is the basis of the spouse visa your wife has been issued. To be considered only Irish, you would need to renounce your British citizenship, which would invalidate her c...
I didn't find any info about this in the forum neither on the government website. I obtained and received my PR card in december last year (I'm an EEA citizen btw), and someone just told me that 12 months after receiving the card I can't apply for the British citizenship as "this means you couldn't...
Your acquisition of Permanent Resident status would be automatic under the EEA Regulations, as long as the requirements are met. A PR Card (Document Certifying Permanent Residence, DCPR for short) is only evidence of Permanent Resident status, not the status itself. Section 1(3) of the British Natio...
Fee for a Nationality Status Letter is GBP234- and if you ask for your documents back from the Passport Office they will probably cancel the passport application and keep the fee. https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/607212/Fees_table_April_2017.pdf A better appr...
It's not an absolute requirement that at least one parent be British (or becoming British) but it is the general rule. Discussion of exceptions starts at page 28 of the following Home Office document. https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/638649/Registration-as-a-...
Your Permanent Resident status at time of application (and for at least 12 months previously) has already been established and you do not need to prove it again. You still need to show 5 years residence and if your passport wasn't stamped, then other evidence is required (employment, school,etc.) Th...
Stateless children can still be registered under section 1(3) of the Act. MN1 is the correct form for a U.K. born stateless child with a parent who has acquired ILR.
However- you say the child's father is Jordanian, so wouldn't the child have Jordanian citizenship?
You're unlikely to get an answer from those who asked the question originally- that person has not been on the forum since November 2016. The solution is likely to apply for a Nationality Status Certificate. The Home Office can verify your settled status more efficiently than the Passport Office. ht...
Daft question of the week for me, is it possible to gain EEA PR by living and working etc in several EU states other than one's own, one after the other, i.e. a year in Germany, followed by 2 in Ireland, etc until five is reached? As I understand it, the 5 years needs to be accumulated in the same ...
My son was born in the UK on 4th November 2010, so in theory I was settled in the UK when he was born (as I was exercising my EEA rights from 26/09/2005, which means five years happened on 26/09/2010), just by a month and 5 days or so, but I was settled. I believe he would need an MN1 to be natural...
Back in the 1970s, British mothers could not automatically pass on their citizenship. It wouldn't have been necessary for your mother to have been registered as a U.K. Citizen in 1973 in order to live in Britain- as a New Zealander with a U.K. born mother she already had Right of Abode- but perhaps ...
