How can I get British citizenship?

Post by yahllil » Fri Jun 24, 2016 6:30 am

Hello,

My uncle lives in the UK for 10 years now, he is a British citizen through his wife.
Is it possible for me to get British citizenship or at least a Green Card for living and working?

If I can't get citizenship through my uncle, can my mother ask for citizenship through him (her brother) and then I'll get through my mother?

Thank you!

UK doesn't do green cards, that's US.

You can't 'inherit' citizenship and the UK doesn't do 'chain migration'.

You have to apply in own right: work visa; study visa; family (marriage) route.
Do you have any skill/qualification to offer UK or the funds to finance studies?

I am a sowftware developer, if that's helping. What options do I have to live and work in the UK?
Thank you!
