I’ve been helping my husband apply for British Citizenship via UKM Romein judgement. He just got a letter back that it was denied because “under the Romein judgement we are only able to register an applicant under section 4c if their mother was a CUKC by descent (with ROA under section 2(1)(b)(I) of the Immigration Act 1971) and the applicant was born in a foreign country. You were born in a Commonwealth country and would not of met the requirements of CUKC under section 5(1)(b).”
Husband born 1960
Father born Canada 1922
Mother born Canada 1924
Maternal grandfather born UK 1890s
The caseworker confirms that his mother was a CUKC by descent
She seems to also say that his mother did not have right of abode. But if I look at the flowchart she would have under s.2(1)(b)(i).
The Romein judgement was for a woman born in South Africa which had an identical status as Canada so I’m confused!
Can anyone suggest what I missed? The letter says o refer to the next steps section of the letter but nothing was included. Can one appeal a decision?
Many thanks for any advice you can provide.
