Question about dual citizenship

Shouldn't be a prob, though, given the new law on registration for children of British mothers. Hope all goes quickly...

No, not a problem at all, just a hassle.  And given that the Royal Mail lost all of the documents his Mum tried to mail us (her birth cert. etc) it's taking longer than we'd hoped/expected-we thought he would have it completed by now, but instead he hasn't been able to apply.

Thanks though!

I once met a woman in the US who grew up in the UK and had indefinite leave (like the rest of her family) and then went home to the US to study. When she came to the UK for a visit, a prat IO cancelled her ILR.

She probably should have applied for citizenship by registration too, on the basis of having lived here so long. Per what Garry recently posted, the Home Office apparently has a huge amount of discretion to grant British citizenship to people who have lived here during childhood.

According to the papers I have, if you are out of the UK for longer than two consecutive years, you can lose your ILR.

That's what happened to hubby in 1997-he'd been gone more than 2 years (thought he had 5).
