British Citizenship and Nationality
At OTS Solicitors we understand how important it is for our clients and their families to finally settle and make the UK their permanent home. If you are thinking of applying for British Citizenship, our Specialist British Citizenship team will provide the best immigration advice and representation to assist you to become a British citizen.
There are several ways to become a British citizen. Some individuals may be born as British citizens, other will need to be registered as British, but most commonly individuals that have resided lawfully and settled in the UK will need to apply for naturalisation as a British citizen.
Application for British Citizenship
If you have obtained indefinite leave to remain, or Permanent Residence, you may be entitled to apply for naturalisation as a British citizen. This will be subject to meeting certain requirements such as your age, residence, character and assessments. Our team of Immigration solicitors will assist you to show that you meet the following requirements:
-
You are over 18 years old at the point of applying
-
You will continue to live in the UK
-
You have passed the 'Life in the UK' Test
-
You will need to show that you have, as a minimum and depending on your immigration status resided in the UK for 5 years and in possession of ILR for at least 12 months
-
You will need to show that in the last five years you have not been outside the UK for more than 450 days and 90 days within the last 12 months
-
You have had indefinite leave to remain for the last 12 months
-
You will need to show that you have not broken any immigration laws in the UK
-
You are of a good character and sound mind
Life In The UK Test
All applications for naturalistation are subject to you having passed the ‘Life in the UK’ test and this will need to be evidenced as part of your application. We can advise and help you locate the appropriate test centre and to prepare for the test.
Windrush Generation
Our Immigration lawyers have been at the forefront of managing the Windrush generation scandal, having assited a number of individuals and families and being called on by the media to provide further assitance and guidance to the wider public affected by the destructive nature of the Home Offices policies.
Our Immigration lawyers and senior solicitors continues to work with clients that have faced the damaging consequences of the Home Office's hostile environment policy and its continued perseverence of bringing Immigration figures down to tens of thousands. The scandal has shown that the Home Office continues to see many migrants as just numbers and not as hard working families and individuals who have contributed hugely to the wealth and culture of the country.
If you are a member of the Windrush generation, or require expert Immigration advice, please contact our office for an appointment on 0203 959 9123.
Dual Nationality
In the UK, once you have obtained your British citizenship you will be entitled to hold both your British and any other nationality as a dual national. However, holding dual nationality is prohibited by some countries. Our Specialist British Citizenship team will assess if your country prohibits dual nationality, and we will assist you to contact your embassy or consulate to ensure that you do not stand to lose your citizenship following a successful application for British citizenship.
To discuss the requirement for British citizenship our Specialist British Citizenship team will be able to help you. Please contact the OTS Solicitors on 0203 959 9123 or contact us online.

British Citizenship and Nationality Success Stories
Our client, Dr W, is a Sri Lankan citizen. She came to the UK as a student and later on secured an Employment in the UK. Due to the nature of her Employment and the work she was carrying out, she had been required to travel and carry out work outside of the UK on regular basis. This had resulted in our client accumulating more absences from the UK than is acceptable under the residential requirement rules for the application for naturalisation as British Citizen.
Our client approached OTS Solicitors seeking advice on the requirements for naturalising as British citizen and the chances of success of such an application, considering her particularly difficult circumstances. After the initial consultation with Dr Lusine Navasardyan, where the client received comprehensive Immigration advice on the requirements for naturalisation as British citizen and in particular, the points of difficulty of her case –the excess absences, our client was encouraged to apply for naturalisation. Our client was advised that there were arguments in support of her case and received a thorough explanation on how we intended to tackle all the issues in her application.
Grounds of a successful application
Upon the application being submitted, no issues were encountered in meeting the general requirements, except that in the last five years she had considerably more absences than the allowable amount. What was even more important, she had excessive number of absences in the last 12 months before the application. This would have usually resulted in an decision to refuse the application under Paragraph 4.1.2 of the Nationality Instructions, Annex B. However, we addressed this issue within our legal representations arguing the excessive absences where unavoidable due to the nature of her career, and that her work was extraordinary beneficial to the UK. We have relied on the desertion vested in the Secretary of the State to waive certain requirements to be met when applying for British Citizenship We further worked with the client to aid her in gathering the necessary evidential support for our arguments in the legal representations. On these grounds, and coupled with the appropriate evidence collated and presented within our representations, our client’s case for British Citizenship was successful.
This case was a success due to the application carried out by OTS lawyers
Acting for Kenyan national in a Court of Appeal case in relation to a human rights Application on both Article 3 and Article 8 of the European Convention on human rights. The Appellant fears return on account of his imputed political opinion and a challenge has been mounted with a view to Ordering the Secretary of State to reconsider the Appellant’s human rights and Asylum protection claim and to make a new decision in the best interest of the Appellant’s British children in the UK. The proceedings have been settled and the Respondent Secretary of State has admitted to conceeding that the previous Immigration Appeal hearing was decided in error of the law. The Home Office have therefore addmitted that the case should be sent back to the previous court and have also confirmed the evidence that should be considered which they nor the court considered in unfairly refusing the clients case the first time. Home Office has also agreed to pay client's full legal costs subject to review.

Thank you for your enquiry.
In order for your partner to qualify for British Citizenship, the following requirements must be met:
1. English and Life in the UK Test
2. Good Character Requirement
3. Absences – He must not have been out of the UK for more than 90 days in the last 12 months or if he is married to a British Citizen, the total number of days absence for a 3 year period should not exceed 270 days. Otherwise, he should not have been outside the UK for more than 450 days in the last 5 years. If he exceeds this, then he can apply on the basis of discretion, he must however provide a reasonable explanation as to why his absences has exceeded.
I have dealt with clients who have exceeded their days of absence, and I was able to present their case accordingly by way that the Home Office considered his reason to be viable, ie, for work purposes etc. This will however, depend on the facts of each individual cases.
We also get clients who would like for their case to be assessed whereby, I was able to provide and work out when they would be eligible to apply provided that they do not travel, in order for the previous absence to lapse.
If you would like arrange a consultation to discuss his merits to apply under discretion, please call us on 0203 959 9123 or contact us here: https://otssolicitors.co.uk/contact

Hello Saffoora,
Thank you for your enquiry below with OTS Solicitors.

In order for us to help you, we kindly request that you call us to discuss the matter further so that we can understand what has happened and what legal options are available to your brother in law.

We look forward to hearing from you,

Thank you for your enquiry. Please find a brief response to your questions below.
1. Can I move abroad after sending my citizenship application? I would like to study a second masters in Switzerland for a year right after submitting my application and then return to live in the UK.
Yes, you can travel to Switzerland for a year after you have submitted your application for British citizenship. According to Home Office processing times, it can take up to 6 months or longer for them to make a decision on your case. You should bear in mind that if your application, for some reason, is refused, your absences for the qualifying period will be taken into account when you re-apply for citizenship. However, once you have been granted British citizenship there is no restriction on the number of days you are allowed to spend outside of the UK.
2. I will have 522 days out of the country in the past 5 years before submitting my application, clearly more than the 450. Is there any leeway on this? Particularly as 110 of those days were for studying abroad and 27 were for business travel.
We would make a request for the dates of when you left and re-entered the UK and the reason(s) for your absences to calculate the number of days in accordance with the requirements. The Home Office are entitled to apply discretion depending on the circumstances surrounding your excessive absences.
The relevant section of the Home Office guidance that is applicable to you states that,
Where the applicant has absences of between 480-900 and otherwise meets the requirements you must only consider exercising discretion where the applicant has established their home, Employment, family and finances in the UK, and one or more of the following applies:
• at least 2 years residence without substantial absences immediately prior to the beginning of the qualifying period.
• the excess absences were an unavoidable consequence of the nature of the applicant’s career, such as a merchant seaman or Employment with a multinational company based in the UK with frequent travel abroad.
• exceptionally compelling reasons of an occupational or compassionate nature to justify naturalisation now, such as a firm job offer where British citizenship is a statutory or mandatory requirement.
We can apply for naturalisation and request for discretion to be exercised in your favour, upon further and detailed consideration of your individual circumstances.
For more information, please contact us on 0203 959 9123 or info@otssolicitors.co.uk

Applicants for British citizenship will often have to satisfy what is known as the ‘good character requirement’. Good character is not defined in statute, but Home Office guidance provides a number of factors to consider when assessing an applicant’s good character. These factors include, amongst other things, criminality, financial soundness, and Immigration matters. Included in Immigration matters is non-compliance with Immigration requirements. Home Office guidance states that “an application will normally be refused if, within the previous 10 years (before the date of decision), the person has not complied with Immigration requirements…” The Home Office may well consider that exceeding the number of permitted working hours constitutes non-compliance with the Immigration requirements of your previous tier-4 visa.
When making their assessment, decision makers must take into account all aspects of a person’s character including positive and negative factors. It is also possible for exceptional grants of citizenship to be made where applicants would otherwise fail to satisfy the good character requirement, so it is not a foregone conclusion. However, as mentioned above, where the Home Office determine that an applicant has failed to comply with Immigration requirements within the preceding 10 years, their application will normally be refused.

This requirement is not restricted to the applicant's criminal history both inside and outside of the UK, but covers the history of their general behaviour, and whether or not they have complied with the requirements of other government departments during the whole of their time in the UK.
Where an applicant cannot provide details of their Employment history, they should provide details of their tax history. Caseworkers may contact HMRC to verify the information submitted, but it is up to the applicant to ensure that they provide all of the required evidence to support their application, or it is likely to be refused.

Thank you for your enquiry.

Dear Madam, thank you for your citizenship enquiry with OTS Solicitors. Your query raises complex issues which would be happy to address with you. In order to achieve the best resolution to your query, a legal advisor from OTS shall be in contact you with shortly.
Dear Sir, in order to establish whether you may have a claim to British Citizenship, you would need to explore your father’s eligibility to British Citizenship as former member of a UK Colony. To proceed further with your matter, one of our Immigration advisors who specialise in British Citizenship shall be in touch shortly.
Thank you for your enquiry.
Based on the information that you have provided me it would appear that you and your brother have British nationality by descent. However, in order to evidence this you would need to apply for either a British passport or a certificate of entitlement of your right of abode in the UK. The position for your wife and child is more complicated. I would need more details with respect to your child to find out if they would be able to register as a British national. From what you have told me your wife would not have any entitlement to British citizenship by virtue of her marriage to you. However, as your dependent and potentially the mother of a British national there are likely to be a number of routes to settlement in the UK open to your wife. As your matter is quite complex I would suggest that you arrange an initial consultation by Skype or telephone so that we can discuss your matter in more detail and I can provide you with specific legal advice and lay out your options in respect to your and your family’s options.
Dear Elena,
Thank you for your immigraton enquiry.
It would be helpful to meet with you to get some further details from you in relation to your enquiry in order to give you the appropriate legal advice. However, on the basis of what you have advised it would appear that the issue with your original application is not necessarily a procedural error but that the Home Office have not accepted the evidence that you have provided as sufficient evidence that you are in the country. Although a bank statement may indicate that you are in the country, alone this well not necessarily be sufficient evidence. If this is the case then it may not be possible to address the matter with a reconsideration request and it may be necessary to submit a fresh application for naturalisation. Furthermore, as you rightly pointed out there is no timescale for a reconsideration to be dealt with so it could be a significant period of time before you get a response to your request and it is possible that the Home Office may refused to reconsider my application. If you are able to come in to our office and bring the documents that you submitted with your previous application and the letter with the reasons for refusal of your application I will be able to go through these and give you detailed advice as to the best route to you obtaining British naturalisation in your case.
Dear Madam, in order to ascertain whether your children may be eligible to register as British Citizens or apply for a British Passport, it would proof useful for one of our Immigration advisor to arrange a telephone consultation with you. One of our Immigration advisors will be in touch to arrange a consultation with you.

Thank you for your enquiry.
Your enquiry raises very complex issues under Nationality Law. The obvious assumption would be that the child is British as the child's biological parents are British. However, you lack evidence of the fact that the parents are British. It may be that the child needs to be registered as a British citizen and as such there is a designated application for this.
In any event we will need full instructions from you before we can determine the best course of action in this matter.

Thank you for your question.
Government guidelines state that if you were born in the UK after 1st January 1983, you may be eligible for British Citizenship (and hence a passport) if your mother or father was a British Citizen or 'settled' in the UK (ie had indefinite leave to remain or Permanent Residence). As you were born prior to July 2006, your father’s British nationality will normally only pass to you if he was married to your mother at the time of your birth.

As you had ILR before your son was born (and are therefore classed as a Settled Person) and his was born after 1st January 1983 (and I am assuming he was born in the UK) then it is likely that he is eligible for a British passport as he would be classed as a British National.

Thank you for your question. One of the criteria for applying for British Citizenship is that the applicant must be of 'good character'. The Home Office will consider a criminal record when assessing an applicants 'character' and may refuse British Citizenship if the applicant has a criminal record. However, as the offence you committed is relatively minor and you did not receive a custodial sentence, you may be successful in your application if you apply again, especially given that six years have passed (provided you have not received any other convictions in that time). Our Immigration solicitors can assist you with your application for British Citizenship and ensure a strong case for approval is made, despite the previous refusal.

Thank you for your question. Because you are married to a British Citizen you may be able to apply for British Citizenship straight away but you do need to have been in the UK for three years in total before applying.

You will continue to live in the UK
You have passed the 'Life in the UK' Test
You will need to show that you have not broken any Immigration laws in the UK
You are of a good character and sound mind

Thank you for your question. If your wife was a citizen of the Republic of Ireland on 31th December 1948 and made a claim to remain a British subject, then she may already be a British Citizen. If this does not apply then she would need to have lived in the UK for five years (three years if married to a British citizen) and applying for naturalisation. This is relatively straightforward provided the residence requirement is met. She may need to obtain a Permanent Residence Card before applying. The cost of British Citizenship at present is £1,236.
