Hello,
I'm a British citizen by descent, meaning I cannot pass British citizenship to my children if they were born outside the UK. My wife isn't British, and her country of origin doesn't allow mothers to pass citizenship to their children. Unfortunately, my child was born in a 3rd country, neither the UK nor my wife's country of origin. The result of this is that my child cannot have citizenship from any country as the country where my child was born doesn't grant citizenship upon birth.
While my wife was pregnant, we applied twice for a family visa to the UK, but both applications were rejected considering that people where she comes from need to be almost superhumans to be granted a 6-month visa.
I emailed HMPO, Home Office, FCDO, the British Embassy, and Nationality Enquiries and none of them was helpful. My wife's country of origin and my child's country of birth have nothing to do with the British overseas territories.
So I completely helpless now. Will my child deserve any British privilege in these exceptional circumstances?
Could you please guide me or recommend the right person that is eligible to find solutions for such unusual case.
Kind regards,
