Witness...... a bunch of doctors dragged HO to the court, they never had any VBSI and guess what they nearly have the positive result in hand.

The "bunch of doctors" have an association-BAPIO established a few years back and not formed AFTER the rules were changed like the VBSI was!
Now, why this rule is not retrospective....?UK Citizenship and children out of wedlock 05 July 2006
After a long wait The Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 provision relating to children of unmarried British fathers came into effect on 1 July 2006.
The Government claims that this will bring equality under the law so that children of unmarried British fathers will be treated the same way as children of British mothers. However, there is still some unfairness in the provisions as this will only apply to children born on or after 1 July 2006.
If the child was born before 1 July 2006 to a British father and a non-British mother where they are not married the child does not automatically gain British citizenship. Either the parents will need to get married before the child's eighteenth birthday so making the child "legitimate" and so giving the child an automatic right to citizenship, or an application will need to be made for discretionary registration of the child as a British citizen. It is hoped that discretionary registration which can obviously be refused will be made even easier in cases where the child claims UK citizenship based on having a British father.
The British Nationality (Proof of Paternity) Regulations in 2006 require that as proof of the right to UK citizenship the British father must be named in the birth certificate within one year of the child's birth. In certain cases further evidence may be required to show paternity. For example there may be a requirement to have a DNA test report.
Helping the VBSI _is_ helping ourselves. I would have never found this discussion thread without the VBSI site, which I discovered just a week ago.first2last4 wrote:Not sure how productive VBSI has been, but looks like we are ending up helping establish VBSI instead of helping ourselves.
Thanks, miffedyankee. The problem is that it is really impossible for us the current VBSI members to fight for a year at the same pace as we did for one month and a half. But VBSI _can_ survive and fight at the same pace. The only thing it needs for that is a constant inflow of willing volunteers.miffedyankee wrote:I am sure VBSI will stand the test of time and will take any criticism in its stride.
Is this the one:rooi_ding wrote:There is a similar organization in the states called the VSI
I tried. On 25 June I wrote to info@vbsi.org.uk :rooi_ding wrote:Yes ssi that is the one, you might consider joining the VBSI yourself.
This is a really interesting small protocol change ("statutory instrument" I think is the terminology).garichd wrote:Now, why this rule is not retrospective....?UK Citizenship and children out of wedlock 05 July 2006
