The man is not smart. He thought living for a long time without papers would make him a whiteman. He refused to visit home during all the 42 years that is why he never thought about papers. What is he going to do in Ghana now? If it had been in Germany he would have been deported long time ago.

Does not matter whether negligent or not his is a British citizen. He should have lobbied his local MP in the first instance to take this up with the home office. The home office in UK have become emboldened because of the migrant crisis over the last 6 years but this man has contributed positively to the UK and for so long. There is no way his case won’t be admonished with him being regularised. Good luck and for once we are talking about a very studious Ghanaian who has integrity….

Oh really? Has he got a British passport then or he's still on our blessed Ghanaian passport and assuming to be British? [See 2nd paragraph of article].

He was a British Subject NOT a British Citizen during Gold Coast Era. Besides, he went to Britain as a Ghanaian Citizen in 1977, ten years after independence. So, your argument does not hold water.

@Kweku, T he term "British Subject" was applicable to all Brits at the time irrespective of being born in Gold Coast, Hong Kong or Edinburgh. Jah, made a point about circumstance of birth in terms citizenship, hence my comment. Personally, I cannot comprehend how that man can be so naive about immigration laws. My own elder brother moved to the UK in 1960. He did not bother to naturalise until 1992. You and Jah are the only ones who seems to know what they are talking about.

Even in Ghana, if you have stayed here as a foreigner for any number of years, will you automatically become a Ghanaian without applying for citizenship? Absolutely not! No country in this world can make you a citizen by force automatically, without your formal request by application, no matter how long you have stayed there for because they cannot decide for you. If this man, for 50 years, could not be bothered to apply for citizenship, then he has only himself to blame.

Hey DotCom, i have no sympathy for this man. We should stop this reckless living and get real.
Even, the young Asian walking on the streets of the UK know that they have moved to a different country and there are some laws there. Included in these laws are regularising your stay.
Context: In 1977 and the years following, it was very easy to regularise your stay in the Uk. Asians came to this country after him and others but they had the sense to regularise their stay.
My friend, i know not less than 10 Ghanaians in the UK today that i have advised to do something about their stay and they have out rightly rejected my suggestions.
Look at the Caribbeans who were brought here decades ago but were living in ghettos and never regularised their stay. You will not here Asians who even came after the Wind Rush period crying foolishly that they don't have papers.

Never served Ghana.
Never paid a toll boot.
Never paid tax.
Never did a communal labour
Never paid utilities bills
For the past 42 years.
Even in exile you married a British instead of a Ghanaian.
You bought a house in Britain instead of Ghana.
Now your mother is dead and what are you going to do in Ghana?

This is like where the Bible says, if you want to become a citizen of heaven eternally, believe the gospel of Jesus Christ, and call on the name of the Lord and be saved.
Then you decide to ignore this application or formal request laid out in the Bible and decide to do good things, giving alms, helping the poor etc, all your life and you think that will automatically make you a citizen of heaven.
Then you die and are told at heaven's gate that you are not a citizen and are unknown in heaven. Then you get furious and begin tell the angels all the good deeds you did on earth but there is one thing you didn't do: you never applied through Jesus, for heavenly citizenship and you are told, it's too late now.

@Kwaku..... The Dutch which you seem to adore and cherish colonised certain parts of the Gold Coast from 1612 to 1872. Can you tell me the sort of infrastructure they left in Ghana in terms of schools, roads, hospitals, railways etc? Apart from the slave castles that they built and supplying arms to our own Ashanti King's to engage in slave raiding and trading, can you pinpoint what they left us in Ghana for the 260 years that they stayed in Ghana? In fact they actually set foot in Gold Coast in 1595. They sold their interest to the Brits in 1872.They gave us scholl, hospitals roads, railways etc and actually stopped our vile and despicable chief from slave trading and human sacrifice. Come back and let

First he shouldn't be talking about British bcos not everyone needs to be British to stay in UK...unless you are born British, you are not until you apply and naturalise through ceremony.

First he has to be legal IE limited leave then permanent..he can explore right to family life through children and grandchildren and may be accepted...

What baffles me is that,in the mid 80s,immigration law started to change.It would have been prudent of him to have naturalised and applied for a British passport when he got married or,when he started having kids.The kids would be British by birth. He would have found it a lot easier travelling around Europe with his wife and kids with a British passport than with a Ghana passport.
There is an important lesson in the story.Never make assumptions.

Although, the guy has been naive beyond anyone's imagination with regards to immigration laws, I can assure you that the UK govt will not deport him. It will
cost him a bit of money, but he will definitely get there in the end. He was British by birth and there are lawyers who will take the UK govt to task to sort things out for him. That is the difference between your a La La Land USA and UK.

Mr Shared, you need to apply for permanent residence(ILR) before applying for a British passport.Your method of applying for status to be allowed to reside in the UK is wrong. You need ILR before British citizenship. Unfortunately, you will still have to apply for permanent residence, which you will definitely be granted. You have a right to request for a waiver of the fees, for which you qualify.You can then request for your case to be considered outside the rules which will definitely be successful as well. Unfortunately, the Home Office is RIGHT with the decision they have taken but I believe they will relent if you approach this matter in manner that does not portray them as having taken a wrong decision.

All migrants to the UK must know this: IT IS NOT the responsibility of your host country to inform you about legal opportunities and links that may be open to you. Linking up to a spouse may not help you here either. Most ordinary Brits are basically ignorant of Home Office rules that governs migrants' rights and privileges.

IT IS UP TO YOU to query your way up, to solving your immigration issues. Get that in your heads and let's stop behaving like afuom lot!

Getting married to a Brit does not guarantee automatic transfer of your status to full citizenship either; know that. You need to apply for it, with proof of marriage etc. Get a lawyer if and when needed and stop relying on your anko-bi-na-hunuui fellow migrant pocket lawyers.

There is something obviously not quite right with this particular case.The man was naive or has not been telling the truth.
I will explain. I went to the UK from Ghana around 1973 with a student visa.The course was for 3 years.At the end of the course,I got a job related to my course of study.My employers were aware of my immigration status and,helped me to extend my permission to stay in the UK. But,had to renew my visa every year.After about 5years,I was automatically,granted permission to stay in the UK for an indefinite period.At this point,I no longer had to renew my visa.
When my Ghana passport expired after 10 years,I had an option of either renewing my Ghana passport which at the time,was a hustle-having to travel to London and being told to come back tomorrow etc or,to take up a British Citizenship which was around £50.00 at the time.I opted for British citizenship which I got. Despite that,I retained my expired Ghana passport as it contained the indefinite stay stamp and still have it today.
The moral of the story is that,when you travel,you have to play by the rules strictly.Ignorance of the rules is not a defence in the UK.
I wish this brother well.If he has been a good migrant and has not committed any crimes in the UK,he could regularise his immigration status with support from his MP or immigration support offices in the area he lives in.

Let's call a spade a spade; he failed as an educated man to assume he's a citizen simply bcoz he's stayed there for 4 decades. It was negligence on his part after also marrying two White Britons so what stopped him from documenting his stay? He never even bothered to visit the Ghana's High Commission to register himself to at least obtain Ghana registered card? I don't sympathise with him at all. Although at this point his boys who are born citizens can fight for him. In any case why fighting to get a British passport when he can easily apply for Ghana's and travel down with it? This man maybe a Ga. Since 1977? Haba...not even a visit? I'm sure his Ghanaian passport expired and never wanted to have anything to do with Ghana the reason he didn't do anything about it. Serves him right.

Kofi Gabs, who has recently received Dutch citizenship and dissed Ghana should listen to this story. Don't you ever think that staying over there for decades, or acquiring a citizenship makes you a white man. Your 1st lD in a white man's country is your COLOUR. Either you're a citizen for 100 years or whatever, you're still viewed as an African with that colour. Being a citizen is not written on your forehead, or inscribed on your car, or in your pocket. Either a citizen or not, when you have a case, you're assessed by your colour. And so we should all remind ourselves, that home is home. We should cherish where we come from and be proud of ourselves. Mr Shardey's case will never happen if he was from America, Russia, Japan, Australia etc living in the UK with a similar situation. But as l said earlier on, they look at your 1st ID....Colour. May God help you to succeed in your case, but we should all know as Bob Marley said....as far as you're a black man, you're an African.

Grant him citizenship and instead send Rishi to Rwanda. He has resided in the UK for half a century as a law-abiding person; he has been a productive person all those years; his advanced age; and he currently is recovering from a serious illness. All those facts should persuade the Home Government to show some consideration and make an exception by granting the man the necessary documents he needs to legitimize himself. Dragging him through years of bureaucratic hurdles will only serve to make the guy more ill than he currently is. He isn't the first to overstay his visa, and should be treated with compassion.
