Help with Dual Nationality and Residential Category in UCAS application!!!!!

When people say you can tell from your passport, they mean the one you used when you came to the UK, not your current one. Dig up your old passport and you'll find it was stamped with the date in which you entered the UK.

If you don't know if you're a British citizen, then you probably aren't. You don't get automatically given nationality, you need to apply for it - if I were you, I'd apply for it whenever you can. It's expensive but worth it.

You say you have a document which says you have leave to remain. This is different to settled status (settled status relates to EU citizens only) so don't put that you have settled status! Indefinite leave to remain is also a different thing to leave to remain and again, if you lack the documentation that states that you have indefinite leave to remain, then you probably don't.

Will the universities consider you a home or international student? You can check the UKCISA guidelines and find what the rules are on England here: https://www.ukcisa.org.uk/Information--Advice/Fees-and-Money/England-HE-fee-status

Hope you found this helpful and another piece of advice... it is extremely worrying you have issues preventing you from accessing important information about your immigration status in the UK so you need to get all the information you need from your family and start taking an active interest and role in knowing, maintaining and updating your own immigration status in the UK. Please talk with your school about this.

Hi , thank you so much for your fast response, when you talked about the stamp in the passport…did you mean only in my passport or the person who took to me to the Uk aka my guardian? I’ve done some digging just now and I found some documents and I only came across my guardian’s passport stamp not mine ? would that still be valid ???
thanks again

I have done some research and I have come across a point that states: " You are a non EU national who is permanently resident outside the European Union. You should select this category even if you have been living temporarily in another country for work or study. If you are UK or EU citizen living permanently outside the UK or EU you should also select this category." in regards to the Overseas/Other category in the residential category the website has. My point is that the point the website states about living in a resident outside the EU as a non EU national... would that be relevant to me? since the UK is outside the EU and I live in the UK...and I am not an EU national..?? However again..I don't know whether or how the unis will differentiate between me and an international student??
I know the UCAS website just has the other section on the residential category, however I'm still confused??
Finally..is this important... am I stressing over nothing?? should I just put UK citizen or whatever on UCAS and then when my application is submitted explain my situation after?? I'm confused on how I go about explain this to teachers or others and what effect it has on my immigration status etc.
