Hi all,
As you all know a small percentage of citizenship applications are being refused each year. In 2015 over 10,600 (9% of applications) were refused. Some reasons for refusal are the following (reference: life in the uk test handbook 2017):
● Applicant not of good character (42.5%)
● Residency requirements not satisfied (26.6%)
● Delays in responding to queries from UKVI (11.8%)
● Parent not a British citizen (7.0%)
● Insufficient knowledge of life or language in the UK (5.0%)
● Application not correctly completed (2.39%)
● 14 people were refused for not attending their citizenship ceremony in time!
I am not sure I understand the "Parent not a British citizen" reason above. How can not having a British parent be a cause for refusal, if you fulfilled the necessary requirements for your Tier?
Isn't this the whole reason for the majority of us here for applying for a British Citizenship, because neither us nor our parents are British citizens in the first place?
