If you or your children are not automatically British through birth or other entitlement, there are two ways through which you can obtain British citizenship. These are through naturalisation or registration.
Becoming a British citizen is a privilege and not a right. Once a person has become settled in the UK they may be eligible for naturalisation as a British Citizen, before an application can be submitted there are a number of requirements that have to be met which include, but are not limited to, residence requirements, good character requirements and an English language requirement. Our team can assist in ensuring that you have the correct documents to submit with the application and meet the rules before applying.
In some circumstances, children who are in the UK may meet the immigration Rules for registration as a British citizen at the discretion of the Secretary of State. We have successfully assisted local authorities with these applications for children who are in their care and in other applications where the young person has been brought to the UK at a young age, and now has no connections to any other country.
We can advise you on whether you are likely to qualify for this type of visa and assist you in the preparation of your application and guide your throughout the process.
If you your application has unsuccessful we may be able to advise you on your possible next steps.
