I was rejected for Uk PASSPORT

UK citizenship by birth can only be extended to the immediate sons and daughters, born and registered, of UK citizens abroad.

Doesn't help you I know, sorry, but at least you know that you're on a losing wicket with this and you can maybe consider other means.

Thank you for your reply, yes already been told that , there must be another way i can seek out my family over there other than from here in Australia , nasty legislation over there , yet they welcome all nationalities it seems to me ,except there own that paid there taxes down through the centuries and helped build England to the great country it is today , and those fromother countries get the cream of living there. what happened to taking care of one's own especially when Austrlaians lost millions our men  helping England  fight two world wars and welcome thousands of English immigrants after the war inthe 60,s , the British politicians have very short memories ....wonderful PEOPLE , WONDERFUL COUNTRY ENGLAND BUT ..BAD LEGISLATION......lANI .

Did you apply for a UK Ancestry visa?  Having read it, it seems a bit harsh to have denied you as you seem to qualify.

You may wish to write to the MP for the area where your Grandparents last lived in the UK to try and get his/her support.  My experience is that Government Departments tend to take a more balanced view of something if an MP is breathing down there neck.

By the way; I live in Yorkshire, maybe the reason you got refused is because there is some doubt to your sanity to want to move the other way.   (just in case - joke!)

hahahahah cycnic , yorkshire is on the list of my prorities, have friends in Yorkshire, first thing i want to do is tread the Yorkshire hills and Dales ...the North of England ...

Have friends also  south of England and Nottingham ,   being an author i have many poet friends in the U.K.

I do thank you for your valuable advice  .byeeee......   Lani .....

You might have to go the visa way. Seeing as your grandparents were from the UK you can get a ancestral visa, that let's you live and work in the UK,  but cannot get public funding ie social.  You hold this visa for 5 years then go for you indefinite  leave to remain,  you have this for 1 year then you are eligible for a British citizen and passport.  It's a long process but it will get you to where you want to be in the long run.
Good luck

Write to the MP via writer other.com

If you can possibly afford one, get a lawyer. There is almost surely a way through this mess, but you'll need an expert to help you through it.

What do you mean when you say "Mother did not register me at the time of my birth" ?

Do you mean, your mum did not register you for a birth certificate? or did not register you as British on your certificate?

If you're not registered as a dual national, this would need to be cleared up by visiting your nearest British embassy/consulate, because as far as I know, the rule of being born to a British mother is that you continue the citizenship no matter where you live, so you are automatically counted as a British-Australian....  however, I'm not sure about the official registration part, so you'll definitely need to chat with your local British embassy in person.

Once you've cleared up the above, the rest should be a lot easier

The problem is that the UK has mass numbers wanting to have access to the country from ALL the EU member states..... The UK Government have no choice under EU law to let ALL the people of every EU Nation to have free and unhindered access for either residency and work to come to the UK.  This applies to ALL citizens of 28 EU countries..... they can ALL come to the UK.

Anyone living outside the EU will find it extremely difficult to emigrate to the UK as the UK Government is under pressure from the public in the UK to control immigration as ALL of our social and health services are being cut to help fund this mass immigration from the EU countries.

This in actual fact means that the vast majority of citizens from. other countries (outside the EU)  and even Commonwealth countries cannot and will NOT be allowed into the UK.

Although I dont know the answer to your individual case I suggest that you make an appointment for a  FACE to FACE for an interview at your nearest UK Consul/Embassy to ask them to accept an appeal on your behalf for the reasons you have stated.

Do not just appeal on the telephone.... personal contact is best!

Good Luck...... Tartanjimmy

Hello,
Your post looks like what I would start writing. My mom was a war bride and moved to the US after the war. I was born and raised in New York City. I'm on Ancestry.com and have traced my mom's family back to the 1760's. My 4 great grandfather 's! Amazing!! My mom retired to Florida and passed away two years ago at 91 years. She , too, wished I would have a relationship with my family in UK. I met them many years ago and I love the country. Brighton Hove will be my destination.
I was going to apply for Ancestry Visa but I qualify for everything but being a member of the Commonwealth.
I hope I don't have a problem!!!! I will be soooo disappointed!!! I feel your pain but can offer only the best of luck.
Regards,
Jane Gorenstein
