1. The Applicant claims to be the son of a Gurkha soldier who served with the British Army in Hong Kong in the late 1960's. His claimed father is recorded, on a letter from the Records Office of the British Gurkhas Pokhara in Nepal, as Makarjang Limbu. That letter records the claimant's given name as Yograj, with a date of birth, 12 September 1967 at Tam Mei, Hong Kong. There is a Hong Kong Certificate of Birth confirming the birth of a son on that date to Makarjang Limbu and his wife Hangsmati.
