Dual national by birth

Post by Anonymous11 » Thu Dec 17, 2020 3:16 am

I need help to under situation of mine.

I was born in UK from British mother and Spanish father. When I was around 6 months old we moved to Spain and lived together for almost 7 to 8 years studying in school, and then my mother moved back to UK with me since I'm living here.
I'm married to a Asian girl and now my mother in law is in UK we were thinking if we can apply for her pre settled status by using my Spanish nationality???
Help will be highly appreciated thanks

(ii) not also a British citizen; or
(b) a relevant naturalised British citizen; or
(c)(i) a national of a country listed in sub-paragraph (a)(i) above; and
(ii) (where the applicant meets the criteria in paragraph 9 of Schedule 6 to the EEA Regulations as the family member (“F”) to whom that paragraph refers) a British citizen within the meaning of the person (“P”) to whom that paragraph refers; or
(d) a relevant person of Northern Ireland
and also not a qualifying British citizen.

Unless the OP was born in Northern Ireland.
