I think I am going to write back informing them of my legal right under EU law, and inform them that I have applied for my residence card. At the end of the day, once I get the card I can travel anyway. But I am hoping to get my Naturalisation sooner rather than later, so I hope they accept it. Rea...

my understanding is a British citizen living in northern Ireland can apply for Irish citizenship a non eu living in northern Ireland cannot apply for Irish citizenship. you can apply for British citizenship but I fail to understand how are you applying for irish citizenship if you not a British cit...

Hi Mal, Hopefully you get to see this. But it has come to my attention, so I thought I would ask. As I am the spouse of an EEA national qualified person in the UK. I believe I am legal under EU law, do you know if this is the case? Cheers, Sam Does your Irish wife also have British citizenship, e.g...

Your Canadian wife will be eligible for PR on your fifth wedding anniversary, assuming that
a) you married in the UK AND

Why is the place of marriage relevant?

Thanks Broli...was just keen on knowing as the timelines thread has gone completely silent :) Did they explicitly say they have started sending invites... :roll: My partner got his approval letter on 28th Feb (apprx) but hasn't received an invite. He emailed them yesterday and they said that he wil...

You'd better ask them: citizenshipinfo@justice.ie. I doubt they would like a scanned copy. It might raise questions on their part. Hello folks, Regarding Section 14: References, is its acceptable to be completed by an Irish reference who lives abroad, and has printed, filled in their details, then s...

Hi there I don't have any advice about your actual issues but I just wanted to say that the Irish Immigration Officers I have dealt with are absolute crap. They have been rude and unprofessional to us (myself (Irish citizen & my Chinese civil partner) on many occasions. I complained by email and...

Certified copy of my birth cert was returned when received the second stage letter. Is that a normal procedure? Thank you! It didn't happen to my partner. We never received any of his documents back. Maybe email them and ask (citizenshipinfo@justice.ie)? It might save time later in case they write ...

Many thanks I did see that but as relevant postings are nearly 2 years old hoping someone has more up to date information/experience

Nothing has changed since then.

If you want to use the EEA rules, you better get your skates on. This option will disappear if/when Brexit happens.

Chaoclive, thank you very much for your help! I can confirm that you were right. Unfortunate that means that I will have to start the residence application process (still pondering if I now should wait until yhe new process is setup for EEA memebers after brexit) but fortunate I was able to find th...

Dear moderators After a long struggle to get a family permit last year, it is now time to apply for a residence card for my non-EEA father. I have two questions and I have not been able to find a clear answer to these from this forum or from google. - I am an Irish national and I do not have an Nat...

Hello Everyone, sorry if I am asking the question again, but the wording is driving crazy. I am a citizen of an EEA country. I applied for "Residence status" on November 2016 and I got the Blueish UK Residence Documentation for a National of an EEA State and in the type of document it say...

don't know why they have to hold it there! that's sooooo far for me. we'll be coming from belfast (if we get to go to this ceremony) and it'll take 5 hours!

it's on the INIS website. check it here: http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/ci ... ceremonies

I wonder if someone could help me in the following matter. My wife applied for Irish citizenship, as a spouse of an Irish citizen, in July 2017. We were asked to provide further documentation from Initial Processing Team. We have submitted all those documents. We did not receive any letter for the ...

Hi Anyone any idea how I would get a bankers draft for the citizenship if my bank doesn't do them? I bank with nationwide who say they don't do bankers draft, can u get from any bank or do u have to bank with that bank to be able to get one? A friend can get the draft for you from their bank. It do...

Hi Crisabella Was the 950 Euro draft that you sent after receiving your final approval also made out to: 'the Secretary General, Department of Justice and Equality', just in the same way as the 175 Euro initialapplication fee was? I'd like to get our draft prepared in advance as I see that there hav...

Not me - it’s a mate... :D They all say that, don’t they, but in this case it’s true LOL 😂 Two problems - mate does have an Irish passport, fairly recently acquired, and with hindsight, maybe not the wisest move. However, the Irish EU1 doesn’t ask if the EU citizen is also an Irish citizen (the U.K...
