John, A bit of change in our situation. We have been trying for a second baby now for the past 2 yrs and I was diagnosed with PCOS. So therefore we have been consulting a private hospital now for a while. Anyway to cut the long story short, found out on sunday that I am pregnant :o Now I do need to ...

I believe my husband should be classified as domiciled as he was born here - sorry you got me slightly worried there

JAJ thanks for remembering that other part of my case We have actually applied and awaiting response - will keep you posted. However I am slightlyconcerned with your statement: " most likely became a British citizen when you got married". :shock: Are you implying that she might not have be...

Will start preparing the folder. Thanks John for your help

Thanks John, we had a feeling that might be the case...
I know eventually we would have to go back to Nigeria and apply from there but we would like the HO to commit to it and guarantee that I will come back and be with my family.

Can the HO ever give that commitment?

We are now married - got married at the CoE on the 27th of Jan.

I would really not be surprised at all John!

In regards to my question, what sort of application do you think we should file for now?

From my previous posting I mentioned that my husband and I have decided not to return home, but rather to pursue the case here.

On what basis do you think the application to the HO should be?

By the way, one CAN get married in the Church of England to boycott the certificate thingy from HO!

ok thanks for your response

In terms of returning home, we have also decided against this as the research conducted in terms of granting nigerian citizens have not been ...

Keni I am very happy for you, congratulations! The wait is finally over! In regards to mine, honestly I am getting extremely fed up and confused! Going back to my home country is not an easy decision for us to make. At the moment we are considering migrating to Ireland, however we are yet to confirm...

Thanks John. Well, I am from Nigeria and from the initial research undertaken it seems to take up to 3 months which in my case I am extremely trying to avoid as we have no plans of taking our daughter with us. In terms of the supporting evidence, we live together renting a 3 bed house just to oursel...

Your daughter will become British when you get married. Alternatively you can apply to the Home Office Immigration & Nationality Directorate for her to be registered as a British citizen. It is Home Office policy to normally register a child of an unmarried British father as British if the chil...
