Grant permission for Australian citizen Edwina Evans to work and live in the UK

Edwina Anne Evans was born in Malaysia in 1962 to parents both holding passports listing them as 'British Subjects'. Her father was serving with the Royal Australian Airforce but had previously worked with the RAF as a pilot on the Berlin Airlift.

Edwina has had conflicting advice from the British Immigration Office. A first response was as she was born as a British Subject in a British Colony before 1963 she would qualify for British Citizenship. After sending her Malaysian birth certificate she was then told that as her birth was registered in Penang she didn't qualify as Penang had gained independence from Malaya. This seems to be incorrect as although Penang did try to gain independence it did not succeed and when Malaya gained independence its citizens retained the Citizen of the UK status until 1963.

Edwina has visited the UK many times and would dearly love to be able to work and live here. She wants no access to public funds, just the right to be able to make a living in the country she loves. Edwina is of good character and holds a top security clearance with her employment in Australia.
