“I truly recommend Wesley Gryk Solicitors for their highly knowledgeable staff on tough immigration cases. I was grateful with the professional service of Andrew Jones. Andrew worked extremely hard at short notice to study and research my complex immigration history background. A month later, he had shared the great news that my naturalisation case was successful. It was so unbelievable to me!” – Client

We are so pleased today to have submitted Trent’s application to register as a BOTC and British citizen following recent changes to the law.

Well done to the @BOTCCAMPAIGN for their work in highlighting the historic injustice for children of BOTC parents!

Home Office @ukhomeoffice

We've launched new routes to nationality for those affected by historical anomalies, including for British Overseas Territories citizens.

This will help people like Trent, who is now able to apply for both British overseas territories citizenship & British citizenship.
