Recently Cynthia Cos had been in an interesting situation involving her Nationality. Cynthia is a British National, born in Grenada. At the age of sixty-one, she was granted citizenship of the Grenada on the recommendation of her son who was a United Kingdom citizen by birth. In a nutshell, Nationality laws are very specific regarding one’s ability to become a citizen of a certain country and with that, any change in allegiance to that country is deemed null and void. As it turns out, Cynthia is not just any old woman who has been bestowed citizenship; she is a member of the Grenada Royal Court, which makes her a dual citizen of the Grenada.
It appears as though Nationality Laws was never made for people like Cynthia Cos; they were made for people like her son who was born in England and who has dual citizenship, and not for a woman who are born in Grenada and has acquired citizenship of England. For those who may not be familiar with Nationality Laws, they basically state that once you become a citizen of a country, you are considered a citizen of that country, regardless of where you actually reside at the time. This essentially means that a person who is born in the United Kingdom and becomes a citizen of Grenada at the same time would be considered as a Grenada citizen even if they lived in England at the time.
Recently Cynthia Cos was conferred with a Grenada citizenship certificate and has become a dual Grenada citizen, which is awesome. But there are still some nagging questions that she needs to answer regarding her ancestry, including how she is related to the Rocha family of Venezuela, the birthplaces of her parents, and her parent’s occupation. In other words, questions that go beyond what a normal client would have to ask. We will keep updating this story and keeping you updated as the situation unfolds. In the meantime, we wish you well in your search for answers.
