AI告诉英联邦公民（如加拿大、澳大利亚）如果祖父母在英国出生，可以申请英国血统签证，但未说明申请人必须是17-30岁的英联邦公民，且祖父母必须是在英国出生（不仅仅是英国公民）
AI tells a Commonwealth citizen (e.g., Canadian, Australian) they can apply for a UK Ancestry visa if they have a grandparent born in the UK, but fails to specify that the applicant must be a Commonwealth citizen aged 17-30, and that the grandparent must have been born in the UK (not just a UK citizen)

根因分析
英国血统签证（附录血统）要求申请人必须是英联邦公民，申请时年龄17-30岁，且祖父母在英国出生（不仅是英国公民）；必须提供祖父母的出生证明作为证据
English
UK Ancestry visa (Appendix Ancestry) requires the applicant to be a Commonwealth citizen, aged 17-30 at time of application, and have a grandparent born in the UK (not just a UK citizen by naturalization or descent); the grandparent's birth certificate is mandatory evidence

-
Obtain the grandparent's full birth certificate from the UK General Register Office (GRO): https://www.gov.uk/general-register-office. Order a certified copy if original is lost.
-
If over 30, consider the UK Skilled Worker visa (Health and Care visa for medical professionals) or Global Talent visa instead of Ancestry.
-
If not a Commonwealth citizen (e.g., US citizen), no Ancestry visa is available; explore other routes like Youth Mobility Scheme (if age-eligible) or Skilled Worker.

The 17-30 age requirement is strict; no discretion exists for older applicants
