In early 2020, Dimitri began a relationship with Sara, a Canadian citizen. Sara moved to the UK to take employment as a Tier 2/ skilled worker in 2019. She has throughout relied upon that status and has not sought to register under the EU settlement scheme. They are not married and have been living together since December 2020. Dimitri and Sara have two children, both of whom were born in London: a son, Michael, born in January 2021, and a daughter Sofia, born in January 2022.They ask you whether Michael and Sofia became British citizens automatically at birth, and, if not, whether there are steps they can take to acquire British citizenship for them now.
