The op has clearly stated they are dual French British from birth and only applied for a British passport in 2012
Not sure I follow your reasoning at all.secret.simon wrote: ↑Sat Apr 27, 2019 8:47 pmRemember that the Settled Status applications, while issued to EEA citizens and their family members, are issued under UK immigration law and not EU law. It would therefore not necessarily incorporate nuances of EU law such as the transitional arrangements taking the McCarthy judgment into account.
What the OP should do is make an application for PR under the EEA Regulations and then, once received, either transition that to Settled Status or apply for British citizenship based on that.
Do you still think we should apply for the permanent residence card or should we go ahead with the settlement application?
It is great news indeed! I hope common sense will prevail.barbapapa wrote: ↑Sun Apr 28, 2019 10:39 amHey good news!
I called the EU Settlement Resolution Centre again today and after insisting they replied to me that we can indeed reply yes to the question 3.40 ("Have they held British citizenship since they were born?") and still carry on with the application.
The person on the call advised me to put a note referring to his first name.
I guess they might update the form at some point.
Hello sylinnisylinni wrote: ↑Fri Jun 07, 2019 9:46 amI am currently in this process....
Married (in NI) to Irish Citizen (born in NI) in 2001
Moved to NI in 2014 and received Residence Card of an EEA National in 2015
My Residence Document (a piece of paper with no biometrics) expires Jan2020
I applied via the web page for Settelment Scheme on 23/May/2019
Biometirc done in Belfast : 28/May/2019
COA: 05/June/2019
It appears that as my spouse was born in NI he may be regarded as a British Citizen (although according to the GFA he can be either- Irish, British, or both- see current Emma DeSouza case).
While we will figure something out - my concern is what happens when this document expires and I have yet to get a new one? Can I still have employment? What about travel??? Can I legally leave the UK (say go to Spain for some sun) and reenter??
Love to hear what others are doing in this case. Thank you!!
Hi, I’m currently in the same situation as you were. I was wondering what was the outcome in the end.
