How Was Your Day? VII

This country is a shambles. So they're quite happy spending millions in foreign aid when we are running a deficit, talking about accepting x migrants, yet they're trying to split families up like this. He clearly pays his way in the UK

Thanks you. What gets him is that he came here when he was two months old and i was born a year later in the UK....this means if he has a kid abroad its difficult to get a british passport for the child, if i had a kid abroad it would be no problem. So his british passport has less worth than mine. We did not know that there was a difference...they look the same and should be the same. My brother is very british in his ways and is in shock about all of this. He tried to have Warda born here but the home office had a problem with his Syrian wife. Even when we told them she was a Christian. Her village still speak the language Jesus used to. My brother gets a private medical package so the birth would not have cost the nhs. Lets hope the home office take note.

Are your parents british? If yes, then this should not be a problem. My son was born in Ireland and his dad is German. According to both laws my son is Irish and German (Law states regardless of where a child is born as long as the parent is from Ireland(Germany) that child is Irish(German)). My friend has a problem.. He is german and his wife dutch but both his kids were born in Ireland... His kids will be recognized as either Dutch or German but not Irish because of above law.

My parents were both born in Pakistan. My mother came here in 1965 when she was 19 and her first ever passport was British. My sister was 3 years old and brother 2 months old when she came to the UK. My dad had been here from the 50's and had a British passport. I was born in 1966 a year later. Then 6 years later my little brother was born. So two of us were born in the UK. Everyone in my family has a British passport. Its something about British by descent that devalues one British passport to another.

Good luck to you and your family, swmc66. I really, really hope Warda and her parents will be able to come home to the UK very soon.

She got her nationality but they sent the papers to wrong address so it is going to take a further 6 weeks to issue another nationality document. They previously lost all my brothers original documents so my address is now the postal address. But they forgot that. But good news she has been accepted as a british national and wont be stateless for long.

That's brilliant news!


(What a shame it'll take so long though.)
