Hi,

I and my husband has recently acquired my british citizenship. My parents age 72 and 71 are in India and completely dependent on money which I am transfer. My father is retired. He has some savings.
Last year he has undergone heart surgery. Is it possible to apply for their british citizenship?

Thanks

No, it doesn't work like that unfortunately as they have no claim to British citizenship just because you became British.

And getting a adult dependent relative visa is virtually impossible since the rules changed in 2012.

The UK does not support chain migration, let alone chain citizenship acquisition
