Thanks for the reply. Out of curiosity, how did you re-apply for the UK visa if you let the previous one lapse? i was on EEA 2 (5 year permit). To apply for EEA 4 (permanent residency), you have to complete those EEA2's 5 years first. after those 5 years have past, you will have no valid visa but y...

i'm in the final stages as well hopefully we will all get our letters soon. My application was on hold because my UK visa expired in the middle of citizenship application (I'm applying from N. Ireland) and i had to renew it first then send a new UK visa copy to INIS for my application to continue. B...

@spoonk

You are entitled to apply for an Irish Passport, yourself.

I would recommend you to apply for an Irish passport, then he can apply for an irish citizenship as a spouse of an irish citizen.

@chaoclive, thank you, mate.

The next thing for me will be to continue with my application for the Irish citizenship. my application was put on hold until I show them the residence permit from the UK.

Hopefully I will get that sorted soon too.

Thank you again.

@sanu84

Congratulation,mate.

I am eagerly awaiting the outcome of my application which was sent in mid September.

I am hoping and praying that I will get my PR soon.

Anyone have experience in non-EEAs getting access to the NHS in Northern Ireland? I am an Irish citizen and registered with a GP in my hometown, although I will be moving to Belfast in the next few weeks and will register with a GP there. Just worried that my Chinese partner might have a problem. C...

@chaoclive
just out of curiosity, say in the future, can you apply for PR and ultimately regain British citizenship?
