If you someone was born to foreign parents in the UK after 1983, are they classed as British?
Answer:
A child born in the UK to FOREIGN nationals on or after 1/1/1983 is NOT British by right. They are the nationality of the parents. If the parents are not married then - unless documentation to the contary is produced - they will be considered to be the same nationality as the mother. However a child born after 1/1/83 is entitled to apply for British citizenship once they have been resident for 10 years, or 5 if the parents are British Overseas Territorities Citizens.
anyone born on british soil are british.
No - Britain unlike other countries do not give nationality to the children of foreign parents born in the UK.
No.
no. nationality is decided according to nationality of the parents usually the mother
Earl, you are sooooo wrong :-)
Sorry to say but no. It's not like America where if a pregnant women crawled across the border while giving birth the child gets to be a citizen.
My mother is English (my father American) and I was born in the UK and it was hard enough for even me to get british citizenship.
Though if you have a british birth certificate and since Barbados is part of the commonwealth you might be able to find an easier route to getting residency, and then citizenship than some.
Everybody "claims" to be British , in particular people from the Indian sub continent
