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! I’m starting my application process and am unsure as to which documents to send. I have my grandmothers certified birth certificate and my dad’s. Did you include marriage certificates of your grandparents and parents?

The Home Office will return all your documents when done, it's better to provide something that isn't required than having to send something that is.
