Well, I was born in Malaysia, but am not Malaysian. If he was born in the UK but registered as a national of another country then he's not British. If he wants to apply for British citizenship then he'll probably get it. Otherwise he can apply for leave to remain, and all that.

originally posted by: paraphiAlso, on bringing spouses over. I believe these rules were enacted to prevent the criminality of getting around immigration. If you are a spouse then you can apply for a visa. What's the problem with that?

Another example of people whining that they should be exempt from rules.

We should be taking in refugees, we should be taking in those seeking asylum, no matter how they get here, or why. We have no business refusing, since our way of life is what causes the destruction of theirs, which is not a matter for debate, but a simple fact.
However, we should not permit our responsibilities to those whose lives and homes are destroyed by our leaders, to mean that we cannot also have freedom and liberty for our own people, their spouses, their relatives abroad, to come to visit or to stay. The truth is that we CAN afford the space, we CAN afford the money, we CAN afford whatever we damned well need and want as a society, but only if there are not greedy people running it, and skimming our money from us without our permission.

It is quite simple to apply and the process is laid out in gov.uk - just read it. It's quite right that a spouse has to demonstrate they can support themselves and can speak English, and all that. So yes, if you are a foreign spouse then you get a visa and after five years of visas you can apply to settle in the UK. If your marriage breaks down then you can bugger off. What's the problem there?
It stops criminality and people sponging of the state.

I know someone who went through the process - he was a Filipino. You know people who are "trapped". However, it's quite clear on the gov.uk website if you want to read up on it. Then there're appeals and all that.
Like I said. Don't take your bad experiences out on me.
