Dear Sir; I Am Greek Citizennational In 1998 I Married To British National, Born In S Rhodesia In
Dear Sir: I am a greek citizen/national. In 1998 I married to a british national, born in S. Rhodesia in 1955. His father was british by birth, and his mother a british citizen born in S. R. We had 2 children, born in Greece in 2001/03. We never lived in the UK. My husband died in 2013. Recently, I applied for british passports for the children, and was told they were not eligible because their father's citizenship was by descend, not by birth - changed with the liberation of the country. Upon my protest, they advised me to apply for citizenship for them. However, living in Greece using a UK based solicitor makes it difficult and expensive - the application fee alone is over 2000€!!! Do you think the kids have a chance? Do you offer any special arrangements?
