Thank you for the replies Richard and Vinny. My passport was destroyed around 1984 and I haven't had one since. I have spoke to windrush again and got someone who was a bit more willing to chat rather than just telling to me appeal via email, she unfortunately couldn't give me answers and was just a...

Unfortunately , your mother was unable to pass on her British citizenship to you because you were born prior to 1 January 1983. However, if you have the Right of Abode , then you had it since birth. So, your children born in the UK are automatically British. Thanks for the reply Vinny. The windrush...

Hello all, I (female) was born 2nd December 1982 In Australia. My father is Australian, My mother is British by birth, her mum and dad are British by birth. My mother took me to the UK at age 4 and that's where I have been ever since, I apparently had a Australian passport when I was brought over to...

Sorry for the double post but a bit more reading on the windrush scheme and Im presuming if I get these... • for any nationality - you arrived in the UK before 31 December 1988 and you have lived continuously in the UK since your arrival. You can apply for: ▪ a document confirming that you are alrea...

Thank you Simon, A quick look through the windrush scheme looks like this will be the best way ill give them a ring when they open today. What about the issue of my sons getting a passport ? They say they want proof that I had right to abode when they were born, that is in the Immigration Act 1971 s...

Hi there, visa and immigration have sent this back after my SAR , there asking for my passport to find entry and exit data but I don't have it it got ripped up and thrown away years ago.

Thanks CR001, ill get that finished up, what are your thoughts ?

A quick look at the Home office SAR, they ask...

Explain the type of information you need and why you need it.

What am I asking for specifically ?

Thanks Ill get that SAR done, I presume its the detailed one I need ? As far as my mother tells me no she never registered me as British, she said it cost 5k and didnt have it at the time, shes not great with the truth and a lot of time has passed since so trying to find anything out through her is ...

I have never been asked to prove anything. I never even knew I was Australian until 2 years ago when I told my mother I was going to get a passport, I had never seen my birth certificate up until then. I've been through schools, doctors, worked after leaving school for a few years until I fell ill a...

Thanks for the reply Simon. No I didnt register there births with the Australian authorities, up until last week I presumed they were British just because they were born in Britain. I also cannot prove I had right to abode at the time of there births (is this something I can get ?) my passport was r...

Anyone ? The Gov websites says this, I'm struggling to understand the last part. You might be a British citizen In most cases you’ll be a British citizen. You don’t need to register or naturalise, and you can live in the UK and get a British passport. You won’t be a British citizen through your fath...

Thankyou CR001.

Ok bear with me on this one... I (female) was born 2nd December 1982 In Australia. My father is Australian, My mother is British by birth, her mum and dad are British by birth. My mother took me to the UK at age 4 and thats where I have been ever since. I got some advice on this forum to apply to re...

Sorry for bringing this back up again but I had some problems in life and this took a back step.

So right now Im in the UK legally and have the right to abode but I need to fill in form UKM to register as a British citizen, than I can apply for a passport.

Thanks Vinny, I cant have any more children so thats not a problem and my partner is 100% British.

Sorry for the late response I haven't been well, I appreciate your help.

So I have the right of abode and I'm here legally.

What now, still with the UKM ?

Thanks.

The UKM says I need to send them my passport. I already have children and cant have anymore so thats not important. PERSONS ENTITLED TO THE RIGHT OF ABODE 2.1 Who qualified before 1 January 1983? CUKCs born to or adopted by a parent who, at the time of the person's birth or adoption had right of abo...

Thanks I've had a good look through Form UKM and its guide, the first hurdle is they want my passport...I don't have one. I have a Australian birth certificate. Likely that you were granted ILR or ILE on arrival in the UK and there is another process you can do to check this. Can you tell me more ab...

Thank you for the links and info Im going to have a good look through now.

My mother said my father tore up my proper passport in Australia (so I couldn't leave) and I was brought over on hers ? but was only supposed to stay 6 months.

Hi there. I was born 2nd December 1982 In Australia. My father is Australian, My mother is British. My mother took me to the UK at age 4 and thats where I have been ever since. I have been through school, have doctors ect and have claimed benefits (disabled) since 16. I want to get a passport, my mo...
