When Can a Person Loose British Nationality
Loosing one’s nationality is a serious measure. The UK Government has a remit whereby an individual can be stripped of their Citizenship. This can happen in a number of situations, examples being citizenship obtained fraudulently, or in relation to persons who have engaged in terrorism or other serious criminal activities and/ or if they have acted in a way that is considered seriously prejudicial to the vital interests of the UK. The process is instigated by the UKVI under the British Nationality Act. There is a right of appeal. The same could apply to someone who is subject to a deportation appeal. This is a serious measure and is not undertaken lightly. In order for the matter to progress the UKVI must have compelling evidence supporting the grounds on which the measure is to be taken. The reason I am writing this post is because I have had many questions from people afraid that they will loose their citizenship. So, the intention of this post is to clarify the circumstances of when this might happen.

Todays question was about domestic violence to partners of skilled workers. Sorry to say the Domestic Violence rule does not cover skilled workers. The rational probably is that the skilled work visa is a temporary visa allowing residence in exchange for work. The partner of permanent residents route is much different there is permanence in the equations and this allows for relief in situations where there is domestic abuse. My answer is regrettably, if you leave your marriage as a skilled worker for a domestic abuse reason, then unless you have an alternative reason to apply to remain in the UK - you should consider leaving to resume your life in the last country you lived in or otherwise your country of origin.
This is not as tricky as it sounds, what you need know first of all is whether you meet the financial requirement with demonstrable earning of £29.000 in the year of the application. Therefore if you have had more than one job, it can be the cumulative amount that count towards the relevant figure. The UKVI require evidence of the work you are undertaking such as contracts, pay remits, bank statements and other documents that show you are in genuine employment. It is open to them to make checks to verify information you choose to submit.
