BUTSection 1(4) - children who have lived in the United Kingdom for the first 10 years of their life
The child will have an entitlement to register under section 1(4) of the British Nationality Act 1981 if they were born in the United Kingdom on or after 1 January 1983 and lived in there for the first ten years of their life. Applications under this section of the British Nationality Act 1981 should be made using application form T. You should read can I register as a British citizen if I was born in the United Kingdom on or after 1 January 1983 and lived there up to the age of 10 for details on the requirements you need to meet.
How long do you have to wait for an ILR applied on 14 years basis?Section 3(1) applications - children born in the United Kingdom to parents who are not settled in the United Kingdom and are not British citizens
Registration in this category will be at our discretion, if we believe it is reasonable under the circumstances and will be under section 3(1) of the British Nationality Act 1981. There are no formal requirements the child needs to meet providing they are under 18 at the time of application and are of good character if they are over 10 years of age. The application should be accompanied by as much evidence as possible to show us why the child should be registered as a British citizen.
I hate to tell you this but your solicitor is an idiot, he's got your money and now is taking you for a ride. You do not have to wait a year for an update. You are allowed to contact UKBA after 14 weeks (which is pointless). After 6 months you have the right to complain. No-one can survive a year without no means of income.chorc123 wrote:My 2 children got British Citizenships last year. Then, we received acknowledgement letter on 11/02/10. So, six months on, no news at all. We have contacted our MP last week, but no news again. We have rang the solicitor few weeks ago, but he said we have to wait more than a year before he would send a letter to HO for an update. Therefore, we are in very desparate situation.
I am talking from experience. I've been waiting for 7 months and requested my MP get involved, which he did last week.chorc123 wrote:Yes, he is OISC registered. We did not has any news from MP yet.
14 years rule does not mean people did intend to stay here illegally at the first place. My family is an example. We were misleaded by another solicitor few years ago while we were still legal and end up on 14 years rule. We lost a lot money over those years. Anyway, I just hope to put everthing right and lead onto normal life.
Therefore, if anybody has any experience with this rule. Please let me know.
