Claiming Of Norwegian Citizenship!!!!!!!

[Eyou]

I am a boy who was born in Oslo at Ulleval Sykehus to Indian parents, presently residing in Calcutta. I am more of a Norwegian boy than an Indian one. I have Norwegian air and water in my body and soul. My parents took me to India at an age of 5+ . I attended Norwegian barnehage at Sogn barnehage till that age. I was brought here without my knowledge and understanding.I have  become 21 and have finished Senior Secondary level(Gymnus) of education. Now I wonder whether I can do my further studies in Norway as I was born there.I have Norwegian birth certificate and all other relevant documents. I want to acquire the Norwegian citizenship as my birth right.I can understand some Norwegian. I want to acquire Norwegian citizenship. Please help me........

Sadly the norwegian citizenship laws are based on heritage and  not on birthplace. Completely adversary to the system in the USA where being born on american soil gives you the right to be an american citizen. If both your parents are indian citizens, you have no claim on norwegian citizenship.(Personally I think that is wrong, but the law is the law.)

I do not like this law. It is too restrictive in cases such as your, but it is the law and there is nothing we can do about that. Completing your education in norway is a completely different matter. It should be easy enough to enroll in an exchange program with a calcutta university or simply apply for a college or university in norway. If you do get admitted you will be given a residence permit just like your parents were holding when you were born.

Apart from that, there are two ways to obtain norwegian citizenship for you:

1) Family reunion: Marry a norwegian citizen or be dependent upon a norwegian citizen in other ways. You can then apply for residence permit and apply for citizenship after 4 years.

2) Specialist immigration: Get a job in norway. This will grant you a renewable time limited residence permit. After 7 years you  can apply for citizenship which will be granted as long as you renounce your other citizenships. Dual citizenship is not allowed in norway(stupid rule, but it is the law.)
