Baby father doesn't know English but wants to go for the British citizenship

He likes everything to do with England and he doesn't ever want to return to Poland so what's the issue? He pays taxes so he contributes to society

Everything except the English language, Dreamergirl!!

Frankly, the irony's too pitiful for words, though it seems to have blissfully escaped you.

Fine, let what's his name keep living in his own little La-La Land. He'll wake up one of these years, only the wake up call might not come as a soft morning kiss, but rather a nasty note from the PM's office: "AHOY, MATEY!!! LEARN ENGLISH OR GO BACK HOME."

But what if I speak English for him?

If you can teach him English, moreover, he is WILLING to learn and swallow his pride, my blessings to you both:-)
Powodzenia aka lots of luck!

Thank you!!!!! I will work on him, hope he will soften up when the baby comes!

I have no doubts whatsoever. A blessed event is indeed just that and no amount of pride can squelch a new dad from providing only the very best for his child, above all, the gift of language:-) As a native English speaker yourself, I'm sure you'll be a fine teacher as well!

G_d speed.

No doubt you're right:-)

Being a successful, self-employed or independent contractor clearly makes him a contributor instead of a leech. Already he's garnered my respect.

He's just a stubborn traditional man I think who only does what he wants to do

Contradiction.

So there's no way he will just get awarded it for getting me pregnant ?

No, your child gets citizenship. Once the UK leaves the EU they will remove abuses of system, because thats what half of the population voted for. A requirement to speak English was added quite recently- its a red line.

So they would make him leave just for not speaking English?

Yep, he'll be deported most like and his kiełbasa with him.

But he behaves well no fighting even when he's drunk and he works hard

Wait and see.

He has to PROVE he has lived here for 5 years, with restrictions on when he was out of the UK. a record of dates in and out is required.

Has to have good character (referees required), no criminal record and paid all taxes etc.
Has to pass the English test unless he is over 65 or brain damaged.

Then he can get citizenship. Being the father of your child isn't relevant as you aren't even married. After Brexit, I expect we would leave/dump the EHR (European Human Rights) so any rights would entirely up to the UK government.

And the one thing that will block citizenship and the right to stay is not speaking English - because it stops you taking part in and contributing to British society.

Even if I'm willing to speak English for him?

Yes, even then.

His mum and dad got angry with him on Skype last night and told him he has to marry me now if he's having a baby to such a younger woman

Damn right he has to, he's unworthy of Poland if he gets deported and leaves his child behind.

So excuse my ignorance but if he gets deported and we end up going to Poland what happens to me?
