Re: British Citizenship by Discretion (CBR post 1982)

Re: section 4L, acquisition by registration:special circumstances

Yes, it is quite confusing. If I were you, I'd start from scratch and use the laws at my birth to determine my status at birth and afterwards. I would read over the various nationality acts from...

Re: section 4L, acquisition by registration:special circumstances

I applied end of November 2022 and was approved very end of August 2023. I would assume they check the correct fee was paid when they actually review the app. I am guessing though.

Re: Form ARD which example to reference from the guidance document

Oh, it was an awful wait. From the time I submitted to when I got a decision was just over 9.5 months, and from biometrics to approval was just over 7.5 months. Then another four months before I got...

Re: Form ARD which example to reference from the guidance document

Re: section 4L, acquisition by registration:special circumstances

I *think* your mom would have gotten citizenship other than by descent via her marriage, not citizenship by descent. BritinParis is incredibly knowledgeable, so if they reply back that you can apply...

I do not know the answers to your questions, I'm sorry, but you've mentioned the 1949 thing and possible age discrimination. I do not know the specifics of why 1949 matters in your situation,...
