UK ANCESTRY AND THE NEW EARNED CITIZENSHIP BILL

Post by AntCoe » Thu Oct 22, 2009 11:38 am

Hello Everyone.

Done anybody know what the views of the ukba is concerning the tough points required for citizenship for uk ancrestry visa holders. Will they be the same for Tier 1 and 2...

The reason i am asking is that i work as a barmen with minimum wage. I will not have my ilr before july 2011.

Will my pathetic but proud earnings and job count against me?

Concerned

I don't think the kind of job you do or your earnings has any impact on getting ILR or citizenship through the Ancestry Visa. As long as you do not depend on Public funds.

The Ancestry visa will be classified under the Family route under the new process.

Are you sure the Ancestral visa will be classified under the Family route?

Any evidence, perhaps a link, to say that uk ancestry will fall under family section?

thanks

See page 8 for the summary on ancestry visa and pages 10 and 11 for the details. It had long been decided since last year.

Its ironical that a person with an Irish grandparent can automatically become an Irish citizen, come over to the UK and be considered settled here (indefinite leave to remain) while a person with a UK grandparent has to live here for several years under some strict rules before even being considered to be settled, not to mention becoming a citizen!

Could someone clarify one last point for me please. I have read the information from the link provided and see that Ancestry is indeed part of of the Family route to citizenship.

But it also says that Ancestry will also fall victim to Probationary Citizenship. is there a benefit in being classed in the Family route and if so, what is it?

Thanks

It's not an irony at all - just the effect of EU free movement. The person with an Irish g/p is eligible under Irish law for a passport, and so becomes an EU citizen. The person with a British g/p can get an ancestry visa and under UK law can eventually become British themselves. Each country has the right to decide it's nationality laws...
