Mother and father weren't married when I was born and chose to split. Lived in US my entire adult life. Mother's - Mother (my grand-mother) is full British Pat as well.
I travel to and from England 4-5 times a year but I've always felt a part of me is missing without a full citizenship.
I applied but was rejected and was told that because they were unmarried at it was after 1983 ( i think) that i wasn't eligible.
My birth father and I do not communicate and never have, I am not entirely sure he is alive. He is 100% on my english birth certificate.
What can I do to get my full rights as an English citizen (transferable to my family). Not looking to take advantage of benefits but I'd love the option to stay as long as I want, own property, etc. Please help!!
