Yes, it is indeed absolutely under the control of the government. I therefore, am not disputing that to any extent. However, it would be extremely naive to “speculate” that EEA route applicants are being scrutinised more at the citizenship stage. Assumption would be the mother of all mess ups in that case, surely.secret.simon wrote:I would be extremely chary of using such statements or comparisons.

As regards UmmZ's case, we do not know why the couple have been called for an interview and it would be unwise to speculate, especially in the language highlighted above.
A cursory glance down this thread suggests that people who have got interview letters seem to have predominantly come via the EEA routes. Given that the UK government can not scrutinise applicants on the EEA routes as thoroughly as it does applicants on the UK Immigration routes, it is possible (I am speculating) that they are scrutinising these applicants much more thoroughly at citizenship stage, which is completely under the control of national governments.
Here is the fact, almost every immigrant is under extreme scrutiny. Accept the fact, specially on UmmZ's case where they have four kids for goodness shake.
It is an absolute madness, and no one in the right mind could be scrutinised and treated as suspect without any respect just because he or she is an immigrant. Totally absurd.
