i now have 'Right of Abode' in UK do my children?

Post by markeyboy » Sun Dec 28, 2008 7:54 pm

Hi all

i have right of abode now in the UK through my ancestry visa, i have been here 6 years now and my children were 5 and 12 when i entered the UK, my youngest is still living with me and my eldest, now 18 is living independantly, the eldest has a valid UK visa in her South African passport until 2012.

my questions are:

1 can i apply for a UK passport now?

2 can i apply for a passport for my 11 year old?

3 can my eldest apply for a UK passport?

sorry if i havent put this in the right section, i am very new to the internet

Can you clarify what UK endorsements you and your children currently have in your passports?

Are you sure? Ancestry visas do not normally lead to right of abode, but holders may apply for settlement. Your dependants should have also applied for settlement at the same time as you did, provided that they satisfied paragraph 198.

I think that JAJ may be the best person to ask on this subject. If eligible to do something now, then be quick, as the law on Right of Abode/British citizenship may soon change.

I try to avoid private message discussions.

No-one is asking for personal data to be shared, but if you want meaningful advice you need to respond to the request, leaving out names and other personal data.

What's already been posted is inconsistent - South Africans generally never have Right of Abode, so maybe there is confusion with Indefinite Leave to Remain?

If it's super-confidential then you should immediately consult an immigration solicitor.
