Ancestry visa - grandparent had a passport + greats were UK

Post by gfunk » Thu Feb 23, 2017 5:18 pm

Hey guys

I found out that one of my grandparents was not born in the UK but had a British passport

also two sets of great grandparents were born in the UK

Would there be any exceptions here perhaps with the help of an immigration lawyer or am I 100% illegible for an Ancestry visa?


Next Q is could my parents get dual citizenship and after that I could get this too?

thanks
