Right of abode commonwealth citizen

[TANTAN]

Hello I need help please?
My dad was born in 1942 in Jamaica and came to live in the UK in 1961 he died in 2010. Jamaica became independent in 1962 and I was born in 1974 in Jamaica. Even after Jamaica got independence my dad still lived in the UK for more than 10 years - my 2 older brothers were born here. As proof that he's my dad, I have his British passport from 1961, his birth certificate and my birth certificate(with my dad's name on it) also his pension papers. Do I meet the requirements for ROA?

Many thanks!

Unfortunately, I don't think so. Unless you satisfy 2(1)(b).
