Thanks for the response and the advice, that's very helpful, I will look into immigrant council. I was surprised they even tried the rejection in your case given the fact you'd never claimed Irish citizenship, glad things resolved themselves.

Hi Billy, congrats on your appeal. Can I ask did you move simply from Northern Ireland to Ireland or did you live elsewhere first? Do you think its the fact you declared yourself born in Northern Ireland that gave them the red flag to initially reject you? I'm a dual British/Irish citizen and I am c...

Since you posted in May 2016 I just wondered how you got on in the end and what route you took? Cheers, Ni...

Hi everyone, Have spent a great deal of time reading through threads and following everyones experiences here, it's been an incredibly useful resource considering how contradictory some of the information found online can be. Fantastic to hear people's real life experiences. Our situation is this: I...
