Hello, does anyone know what the average processing time is for Irish naturalisation? My wife applied back on the 5th July 2017 and still no result from her application?
The reason why it was refused is because your husband is a dual citizen but first and foremost is a British citizen, I’m also from Northern Ireland. I have been told from quite a few sources that if your husband renounced his British citizenship you can then rely on EU rules to remain in the UK, I a...

You did say you were British & your wife was here under SS - missed that. I think you'd do well to seek some lawyer advice. You'll likely not have an issue getting Settled Status for you and your wife, based on residency. But for PR, the exact position of a carer is not straightforward, especia...
