Hi there

I am in the process of submitting my UKM application following the supreme court ruling.
I wanted to know if anybody has been granted citizenship based on this ruling?

A 3rd party consulting firm told me that the Home Office has not yet granted anybody citizenship on this ruling (applications not yet processed).

Thanks
Graham

I can confirm that applications under UKM (Romein Supreme Court ruling) have been processed by HO. The agent which I used informed me that their first case was successfully processed at the end of last month (September). Furthermore, my brother in law who is a British Overseas Citizen, and is in the process of renewing is British passport was phoned by HMPO a few weeks ago to make him aware that based on his British born maternal Grandfather he is eligible to registered as a full British citizen. If all goes accordingly to plan I should here about my application by the end of this month.

They have started processing UKM applications, as i have had responses from Home Office on UKM. UKF matter relating to Johnson is still under consideration as they are awaiting the Remedial order to come into force.

Whereas Johnson involves the striking down of a statutory provision, the UKM cases involves a proper and sensible interpretation of a staturory, and for that a remedial order is not required.

I submitted my application for British citizenship via the February 2018 Romein decision in early July. I received my approval letter on September 20, and am currently waiting for my ceremony invitation. So yes, positive decisions are being made! Good luck!
