UK NATURALISATION

One of the legal processes by which a person can change his/her nationality is called ‘naturalisation’. More to the point; a person can attain British citizenship through naturalisation.

Eligibility criteria and requirements have been amended over the years and in some instances drastically changed. It is important to know that if you successfully apply you will be granted the same rights and UK status as a natural-born British citizen. You will be a Briti…sh citizen otherwise than by descent. So, if after you have been so naturalised, you have children born outside of the UK they would most likely be classified as British citizens by descent.

Once approved (and you are over 18 years) you will receive an invitation to attend a citizenship ceremony. You will be asked to affirm or swear an oath of allegiance to Her Majesty the Queen and to pledge your loyalty to the UK.

And finally, you will be able to apply for your British passport!

KNOCKING ON THE UK “RIGHT OF ABODE” DOOR?

In an immigration context your right of abode, if you have such a right, could open an entry door into the UK. UK right of abode, for some, is a specific immigration status. It entails living and coming to and from the UK not being subject to immigration control as it would be for a British citizen.
Certain Commonwealth citizens who held the right of abode in the UK before 1983 retained that status on and after 1 January 1983 (see Im…migration Act 1971).
Notably, from 1983 only British citizens may acquire the right of abode.
If you believe that you might be such a Commonwealth citizen or have a family member who fits that description, please write to Depner Immigration Consultants and enquire about our status check service.
