HI format 346, It shouldn't matter where you were born or where you lived before or after 1983. As long as your mother is British, you are automatically British by descent. I recently got my citizenship by UKM and I have never lived in the UK. I was born in New York and still live here. On that sect...
Fantastic news ambrit and thanks for keeping us posted. Helpful to know how the Consulate in NY contacts folks for ceremonies - I was wondering that myself since I'm based in NYC. Have a great ceremony. Nashwoff

The email provided in the UKM guide is nationalityenquiries@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk Seems like there was some delay with your applicat...
Congrats on your successful application! AM I correct in assuming that approval notification does not come electronically by email as well but only by mail? - Alison
Here's my current timeline from the USA. I will update this as soon as I learn more. Any others out there with recent timelines I can use as a reference? Curious what the current turnaround time is between biometrics and approval. Thanks all. - Alison Eligibility criteria: UKM (born before 1983 in U...
