Re: CUKC or British Subject without Citizenship?

It does not fall under Romein or 4L. The argument about naturalization would also fail because British subjects did not need to naturalize because they were already British subjects.

The issue is...

Re: CUKC or British Subject without Citizenship?

Why was you great grandfather not allowed to apply for naturalization? Can you prove this? Naturalization under the 1870 was not automatic. The person would have to apply, show they resided in the UK...

Re: CUKC or British Subject without Citizenship?

The caseworker guidance you reference does not mean that your mother or grandfather were CUKCs. It is actually about people in your mother's situation who were BSWOCs - not CUKCs - and did not make...

Re: CUKC or British Subject without Citizenship?

It does seem unfair since they attended Sandhurst. I suppose that is negated somewhat by your mother being born after her father had left military service. Let us know what you learn from...

Re: UKM Descent Grandfather

Why are you trying to register him as a citizen? So that you can become a citizen?

If I understand your situation, both your paternal grandparents are British citizens:

Re: CUKC or British Subject without Citizenship?

Do you have your grandfather's old British passport? If you do, what does it say in it?

12(1) seems not to apply to your grandfather. He was born in India (or modern day Pakistan) and India and...

Re: CUKC or British Subject without Citizenship?

I am searching for my copy of Fransman's to try to find an exception for you but it is possible that your mother never became a CUKC and instead was a BNA 1948 13(1) British subject without...

Re: CUKC or British Subject without Citizenship?

Based on your question, your caseworker now believes you are asking about a crown service claim when you are not. It is one reason why you must clearly state how you are eligible and reference the...

Re: CUKC or British Subject without Citizenship?

how did you claim your mother was a CUKC in your application? 12(4), something else, or just because her father was a CUKC? I want to know to provide a more informed reply. I will look at Fransmanns...

Re: CUKC or British Subject without Citizenship?

I am interested in what BritInParis says but if the caseworker conceded in a followup email that your mother was a British Subject at birth then she would have been a CUKC by BNA 1948 12(4). The only...

Re: CUKC or British Subject without Citizenship?

Grandfather was a CUKC by BNA 1948 12(4) which was by descent (see 12(8)). Based on a reading of the two citizenship acts, he would not have become an Indian citizen or a Pakistani citizen because he...

Re: Citizenship by Descent Application (?complex)

I doubt they will ever address the differences between registration and those who are automatically a citizen by descent. There is a continued tendency to increase the complexity of British...

Re: British Citizenship by Discretion (CBR post 1982)

When and where was your sibling born? The sibling likely has a route through UKM/4C so once I have the sibling's details I will give you a claim the sibling can use.

It will take me a bit longer...

Re: BRP Double Decent new laws

I am happy to help. It is a relatively straightforward claim and I hope that, if approved, the citizenship makes a difference in your life. Keep us updated with the application progress.
