The Romein case is difficult to use in this context because pblackman is the third generation born abroad. While it is true that prior to BNA 1949, everyone born within British colonies and UK mainland were considered British subjects, it is not true to say that this means such people were consider...
You’re asking about qualification under Form UKM guidelines . This is a restrictive basis under which citizenship by descent is granted through registration only if certain clearly laid out conditions are met . I’ve listed all of them in my previous post . The latest Guide UKM as far as I know hold...
Hi, sunburn, Thanks for your time detailing guide UKM requirements. I know it may sound silly at first to consider that I'm eligible, but allow me to explain why I believe I have a valid claim: My grandfather was born in 1920 when the British Nationality and Status of Aliens Act 1914 (amended in 191...

I don´t understand why my question would be treated differently. Thanks This ...

I believe I may apply for British citizenship through the UKM route, as a person born before 1983 to a British mother. I was born in 1972 in Brazil to a British mother who was born in 1948...
