Howdy,
So heres the situation...
Both of my parents were born in Zambia to South African citizens, they were raised in Rhodesia and have never held SA citizenship although they have both held permenant residence. They're British Citizens by naturalisation (Not entitled to either Zambian or Zimbabwean passports anymore)
Anyway...In the late 80's they moved to the UK and had me (Borb british citizen...) But now both they and I feel that its time to move away from England and back to SA.
How easy would it be for them to get Permenant Res based on parentage? My paternal grandparents are both currently citizens and residents, one of whom is a born citizen, both maternal GP's are born citizens (although I think they renounced it for Rhodesian citizenship, not sure though)
Likewise through them would it be possible for me to get PR?
Thanks
Hugh
