Thank you Vinny. Just gone through the horror stories of other victims of British high commission refusing right of abode.
I just came across these in one of the threads: I would like to include these sections in my covering letter. Are they right sections to refer to. Please correct if anything is not applicable.
He is BRITISH by birth (British citizen ‘by descent’) as per British Nationality Act 1981 section 2(1) a on the basis "Born outside UK after 1983 to a parent who is British citizen 'not by descent'".
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1981/61/section/2
I even verified this by going through the below link
https://www.gov.uk/check-british-citizen
which states "In most cases you’ll be a British citizen ‘by descent’. This means you can gain citizenship from one of your parents, but your own children won’t automatically become British citizens."
I believe he is eligible for Right Of Abode as per immigration act 1971 section 2
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1971/77/section/2
which states
A person is under this Act to have the right of abode in the United Kingdom if—
(a) he is a British citizen and even under The immigration regulations 2006 Regulation 6
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2006 ... ion/6/made
which states
6. A certificate of entitlement will only be issued where the appropriate authority is satisfied that the applicant—
(a)has a right of abode in the United Kingdom under section 2(1) of the 1971 Act(1);
(b)is not a person who holds:
(i)a United Kingdom passport describing him as a British citizen,
(ii)a United Kingdom passport describing him as a British subject with the right ofabode in the United Kingdom,
(iii)an ID card issued under the Identity Cards Act 2006(2) describing him as a British citizen, or
(iv)an ID card issued under that Act describing him as a British subject with the rightof abode in the United Kingdom;
(c)is not a person whose exercise of his right of abode is restricted under section 2of the Immigration Act 1988(3) (restrictions on exercise of right of abode in casesof polygamy); and
(d)is not a person who is deprived of his right of abode by an order under section 2A of the 1971 Act(4).
Kindly help.
Many thanks,
