    UK citizenship application : Nationality type ?

    Hi,

    I am helping my nephew apply for British Citizenship. His details are as follows :

    - Born in HK in 1998
    - HK resident
    - Mother's status BN(O) at the time of child's birth
    - Mother's status is now British Citizen

    I am stuck on "Section B : Your nationality details" . I've to tick either of these options :

    British Dependent Territories Citizen
    British National (Overseas) Citizen
    British Overseas Citizen
    British Subject
    British Protected Person

    Can anyone help me identify which one of the above option he is categorized under.

    Then that section has other confusing questions like : How did you acquire this nationality ? If that nationality is lost, how was it lost ? The form in question is http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/si...ty/form_em.pdf

    Thanks !

    My gut feeling is that the child's nationality is Chinese, and not any sort of British Citizen or national. What makes you think that he is?

    This page gives the criteria for the application that you are filling out. and I can't see how your nephew could meet the necessary criteria: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/br...ongconnection/
