Think you might already have a British connection?

Many Americans are surprised to discover a hidden route to British citizenship — often through a parent or grandparent born in the UK or a former British territory.

  • A parent or grandparent born in the UK, Ireland (pre-1922), or a British colony
  • Citizenship of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, or another Commonwealth nation
  • A job offer from a UK company with a sponsor licence
  • A degree from a top-50 global university (nearly half are American)
  • A British spouse, civil partner, or settled family member in the UK
