[Ramford Nicholas]

Hello Iam requesting for help my adopted daughter was born in the uk which qualify a to be a citizen she's now 15yrs and she's currently living in Uganda I need help on how she can come back to the uk becoz she was denied a passport in Uganda since she was'nt born in Uganda

Did you legally adopt her?

What is your UK immigration status??

[Ramford Nicholas]

She's my wife fist daughter so she automatically bacomes my daughter and my wife lived in the uk that's when she gave birth to her my daughter has documents to show that she was born in the uk

Sorry, your post is not clear.

Are you saying the 15 year old child is your wifes first daughter from another relationship? If so, if you have not legally adopted her, then she is not 'your' daughter. She is then only your 'step daughter'. Marrying someone with a child from a previous relationship doesn't make that child yours automatically or legally.

What is the mother's visa status and where is the mother?

[Ramford Nicholas]

My wife and daughter were denied asylum with no reason given not even taken to court and deported to Rwanda that's the reason they found themselves in Uganda coz by then they had no choice. There currently staying in Kampala Uganda

As the child does not appear to be legally adopted by you through the courts, you cannot apply for citizenship for the child as simply being born in the UK is not enough. Her mother would need to hold ILR.

What is your UK immigration status?

It really is very difficutl to offer any useful advice if you don't post a bit more detail.

[Ramford Nicholas]

Well thanks for the correction she's my step daughter that's right

What is your UK immigration status?

[Ramford Nicholas]

Well the child has her originals of birth certificates to show as proof that she is born in the uk she has relatives living and staying in the uk all we want her to go to the uk she can stay with any of them

What is your UK immigration status?

As I said, being born in the UK does not give her any automatic rights or citizenship if neither of her parents held Indefinite Leave to Remain or gained Indefinite leave to remain after her birth.

Where is the childs biological father?

[Ramford Nicholas]

Her biological father is here in Uganda but he is a uk citizen already

[CR001]

You seem to be avoiding my question about your immigration status in the UK if you have any.

Are you asking on behalf of the biological father or for yourself?

When did the biological father get his British citizenship?

[Ramford Nicholas]

Details of the child
Her date of birth? 21st/12/2002

was born? United kingdom

True iam just trying to help her since she is step daughter and her biological father has never been there for her and i have been taking care of her.hope the details i have given can be helpful

[CR001]

You are not answering the questions that are being asked and I cannot keep repeating them.

Kindly do not post full personal details such as full names and dates of birth on the forum.

I will leave others to respond as you as you are ignoring my questions related to important and relevant information when I am trying to help you.

Good luck!!

My guess is that the OP does not have a UK immigration status and isn't in the UK at the moment.

Most likely what the OP is after is that if the step-daughter is a British citizen, then the step-daughter, her birth mother and step-father can move to the UK as the family of a British citizen.

It all depends on whether the child was born before or after her birth father acquired British citizenship. If the child was born after the birth father acquired British citizenship, then she is a British citizen by descent.
