citizenship for family members
Is it possible to file for my mother to come live with me in the uk?
Im British and my mom is American, I didn't want to leave her here in America by herself and wanted her to come join me in the UK

There is no sponsorship for parents to emigrate to the UK unless the parent is solely dependent on the British sponsor ie. daily needs and also financially.

As SanDiegiogirl correctly points out there is no automatic route to sponsor a parent to emigrate to the UK. Does your mother have any recent British, Irish and other European ancestry?

Does the ancestry have to be parents or grandparents? and do we have to provide documents?

Re: citizenship for family members
Of course you have to provide documents to prove Ancestry ........

My mom is Jamaican And we don’t know much about our family history and don’t know where to start looking. Is there no other option for her?

Re: citizenship for family members
Join an Ancestry/Geneology website to start investigations. Ask your mother where her parents and grandparent were born.
Unless she has Ancestry linking her to the UK or Europe, no, there is no other easy option.

Re: citizenship for family members
So you’re British by birth? Where you born and which year? What about your father? Both Jamaica and the US permit dual nationality - did your mother actually give up her Jamaican citizenship or did she just become a US citizen?

He will be very happy to help you try and figure out a way for your mother to join you in the UK if he can, but I suspect he'll need a lot more info. We don't charge by the word so feel free to give full details!
