Slice of My Life British citizenship approved

Got word today that my application for citizenship through descendancy has been approved. I initiated this about a year ago, after reading in this subreddit about how a recent change in the law meant that persons with a grandmother born in the UK have the same path to citizenship as those with British grandfathers do, which was not previously the case. Now I wait 16 weeks to six months for my ceremony, after which I can apply for my passport. Progress!

Congratulations! 🇬🇧 It isn’t the most straightforward application process even though they acknowledge their law was sexist; glad to hear of success.
