Hi there,
I'm seeking for a (direct or indirect) testimony or at least some hints about UK naturalisation for Kenyans (or other nationals of ex-UK African countries). There is an official UK government document which stipulates that people born in Kenya between 1949 and 1963 were considered UK & UK colony nationals. The same holds true for other ex-UK colonies up to the date of their independence, Nigeria, Ghana etc.
I just came across it.

Quote:
"The significance of a territory which came within the UK and Colonies was, of
course, that by virtue of a connection with such a territory a person could become a
CUKC." <sic> (citizen of the UK and colonies).
I've read on a website for naturalisations that people born in the former colonies can apply for UK citizenship based on this old law without having to have any direct relation to UK ancestors.
My wife is Kenyan, born in the UK Colony of Kenya in 1962, so she should qualify. I'm wondering if it is worth applying and how complicated and fast the process is. Any hint is appreciated.
(I am Swiss btw, so no direct help from myself )
Cheers
