Thank you. I applied based on 3 years marriage from NI. I did send the NI check so that's one less to request. My Canadian check will be sent off to Canada this weekend. I wish tat the checks were requested in the application so it wouldn't be delayed. I've also written a letter to request an extens...

Hi

Has anyone received their citizenship acknowledgement with a signed for delivery? Would have though it would just be posted through the door.

I'll need to wait to collect tomorrow ☺

hi all

I've had a look through older threads but have not found an answer. when the citizenship application says a reference cannot be related to you, does this include my in-laws/brother-in-law?

thanks

Hi Sarcasticapple

When i went into the Belfast Branch of Danske Bank, i was advised i would need to open an account with them to get a Euro Bankers Draft. Your wife can apply online for the account.

Thanks for the heads up CR001! Didn't realise it should stay in the one thread

Thankfully Im sorting my Irish citizenship documents months before applying I filled in a dummy application. It asked for the passport i arrived into Ireland on. I arrived Oct 2007 and damaged my passport may 2009. I have a replacement, and 2 renewals since. The damaged passport was not returned but...

I have noticed that when someone applies for Citizenship from Northern Ireland, its been advised to apply for DAT1 from the PSNI when applying instead of waiting to be asked for it. Can this be applied for a few weeks/months before applying or is it best to apply a week or 2 before sending my Citiz...

Apologies. I am applying for Irish Citizenship based on marriage to an Irish Citizen. We reside in Northern Ireland, therefore I can gain Irish citizenship based on 3 years marriage.

thanks

Perhaps the card was printed with the wrong details. You then need to contact the BRP team, the details should be in the pamphlet or leaflet that you got with the card. Hi CR001 Thanks! i had a look for the details you mentioned and sent an email. it came back as an automated email. Think i will ha...

Im confused... So the last letter i received states at the end "If you are not the spouse of a British citizen, you must have held PR status in the UK for at least 12 months before you apply. See above for the date on which you are deemed to have acquired permanent residence status - this may d...

So, i spoke to UKVI who confirmed i received a 5 year Res Card. I know i applied with a EEA(PR) application because i filled it out 3 times to ensure everything was correct and clean. Since i can still work and i will be applying for Citizenship next year, is it worth contacting the UKVI and confirm...

OMG! I have been! why?

Wondering if someone can help me. I've used the email nweurocoarequest@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk to request my COA but its bouncing back saying it's undeliverable. Does anyone have the correct email address?

HI I am in employment at the moment. I applied for my EEA4 on July 4, Received July 5 by UKBA. My EEA 2 expired on July 25th. I sent my biometrics off on Aug 11.

Sorry for the confusion...its my constant state re: immigration at the moment...

It would just be to Spain for a hen. I have advised the group that i cannot travel until i find out otherwise. I haven't actually had to show my visa unless Im arriving into the UK.
