[UK] Dorset grandmother, 65, faces expulsion from UK
« on: November 22, 2010, 06:05:33 PM »
Read the full BBC News article here.

Now, as far as I can see, there are two things wrong with this article:
1. Persons aged 65 or older are exempt from the Life in the UK test
2. As the child of a UK mother, she can claim citizenship for a mere £80 fee, as recently announced in Parliament (and discussed in the Visas & Citizenship forum).

Or have I just been hanging around UKY too long?

Shame they don't have comments available for that article or you could link them to the relevant info.

If only everyone in the UK was as up on visas and citizenship as UK-Y members, eh?

Maybe she wasn't yet 65 when she was stopped (in August) but still she's the child of a British mother.
