Thanks a lot! I probably am over thinking things as you said and making it more complicated than it should be! And thank you for letting me know what order you did everything in. Just a quick point - that I haven't seen posted anywhere yet ... When you were in China and you renounced, then applied f...
Aaahh sorry I went off with my own train of thought and forgot to reply to your other post - in regards to my wife and EU citizenship. We have looked into it.

Evening folks! Hopefully this thread is still going. Rather than me make a new post, if you don't mind I would like to hop in, seeing as this situation also applies to me.
