I think first child will have to apply in own right as an adult as they are now over 18 years old.Odile95 wrote:Hello, I know that this question has already been answered by many but I am still confused about it. I hope someone will be kind enough to assist me with this. So I am French and I have been living in the UK since 1987. I have 2 boys respectively born in 1992 and 2000 in London. They both are French but decided that they also want to acquire British nationality. I am told that they are automatically British as I have been in the country 5 years prior their birth. Could someone guide me with this? Also will I need to pay the fees for both of them? Mant thanks
If you were born in the UK or a qualifying territory wrote:If your parents are citizens of the European Economic Area (EEA)
If you were born in the UK on or after 1 January 1983 but before 2 October 2000, you are a British citizen if, at the time of your birth, either of your parents was an EEA citizen who was exercising Treaty rights under European Community (EC) law. This is because your parent's stay is regarded as having been free of a time limit under immigration laws.
Since 2 October 2000, EEA citizens who have a conditional right of residence in the UK (such as workers and businesspeople) are not automatically regarded as free of a time limit under the immigration laws.
Between 2 October 2000 and 29 April 2006, EEA citizens would not be regarded as free of time limit under immigration laws until they had obtained indefinite leave to remain in the UK.
Apply for confirmation of British nationality status (Fees) for both children.Odile95 wrote:I am confused Vinny and I don't know where to get my answers. I have been told by some that they need to ask and pay for citizenship but also by others, that they both already British because of my status in UK prior to their birth. Where to ask?
