I am US born with a US/Canadian mother whose father was born in the UK (i.e., my maternal grandfather).
Application was simple. I provided a family tree graphic along with the documents proving my relationship to my grandfather (my birth certificate, my parents’ marriage certificate, my mother’s birth certificate, her parents‘ marriage certificate, my grandfather’s birth certificate).

Surprised your UKM timeline was that fast. What is current timeline experience?
My Form UKM arrived and payment taken Feb. 27, 2025.
On April 11, 2025 MMST Workflow 6 responded that application was progressing through system normally.
How soon should I expect a Biometric invitation?
My application is pretty straightforward with mother and grandmother British citizens.
