i have visa,my visa expires in 2020,its just the gap in between my visas,thats why i am asking if i can apply now for citizenship or do i have to wait?Obie wrote:Why did you not apply for Permanent Residence, 6 months before your citizenship expires. Was your spouse working all throug?
As you visa has expired, you will have difficulty with citizenship.
ok,thanks for your replyObie wrote:If she did not work from 2007-2012, when you held residency, then you will not qualify, and more so the lack of any lawful status from 2012 , that is if she had not worked between 2007-2012, undermines your case.
but thats not an issue,because i already applied for my visa this year and i recieved my 5 year stamp,and they never asked me anything regarding that peroid.So i feel this is not the issue.My question is different,if i can apply for citizenship now or do i have to wait for a year before i can send my application,as i have to be in the country for atleast a year before my 5 years time is completed,as i was always in the country but i didnt have the visa at that time,makes me think if i should wait or send my application this year.Obie wrote:But she was not living in Ireland or working during that period , was she? So you had no right to live here during her absence.
Obie wrote:Well in law, it is an issue and your citizenship application will be refused.
You need to have continues permission to live in IRELAND with a Valid GNIB.
You GNIB expired in 2012, and you did not get a new one until 2015. Your lawful residence broke during that period.
They will nor ask you about the past period , when you applied for the 5 years on EU 1 , as it is not necessary.
If you had applied for 10 years, they would.
