    Hi all, I've been unable to get a straight answer on this so far. I was born in the United States in October of 1985. My father held - and currently holds - dual US UK citizenship through his parents. He was born in Chicago. His mother was a naturalized citizen of the UK, originally from Italy, his father was born there.
    Both of my paternal grandparents are now deceased.
    My parents told me, at one point, that up until I was about 18 months old, I could have become a dual citizen with the UK by the fact that my father is, but that something changed and I didn't have that option anymore.
    Do I have any rights to claim UK citizenship through any sort of grandfather clause, if there was, in fact, a change in the law?
    I've tried contacting the consulate, but they've been very little help.

    British Citizenship By Descent Or Otherwise
    Every British citizen is either a British citizen otherwise than by descent or a British citizen by descent.
    This difference is important because the type of citizenship people have decides the way in which they can pass British citizenship on to their children who were born outside the United Kingdom.

    A British citizen otherwise than by descent, can automatically pass on British citizenship to a child born outside the UK. You can be a British Citizen otherwise than by descent by:

    Birth;
    Registration;
    Naturalisation;
    Adoption.
    A British citizen by descent is a person born outside the UK and is acquired if one or both parents are British citizens. This means that you cannot automatically pass on British citizenship to any child who is born abroad. You are a British citizen by descent if:

    You are born outside the UK to a parent who was a British citizen at the time;
    It does not matter whether the birth took place before or after 1 January 1983 as long as a child who was born before that date became a British citizen on that date;
    On 31 December 1982, he or she was a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies through:
    his or her own birth, or
    a parent's or a grandparent's birth,
    legal adoption
    naturalisation
    registration
    You lived in the UK while a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies for five years at any time before 1 January 1983, and was not subject to restrictions under the immigration laws at the end of that five year period.
    You are a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies by connection with the Falkland Islands and Dependencies (i.e. South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands).

    First, thanks very much for replying.
    Second, it says that a British citizen by descent cannot automatically pass on citizenship. Does this mean that there is, in fact, a way to pass on citizenship? How would that happen?
