That's true ! I was also thinking of writing a letter along with it. Explaining "our story" and helping to lay out the timelines. Especially around the birth of our daughter in 2017 - I'm assuming I could also send her birth certificate (as it has my wife and I's names on it) as proof of that.
Perfect thank you!!! I'll start gathering it all and apply much earlier than I thought then!
Brilliant thank you. Also see pasted below and email that I received from the citizenship information helpline regarding naturalisation as a spouse. It may come in helpful for others ...

Wow that's crazy!!!! I assume you mean that you applied 6 months ago? And are still waiting on an application number !!!niccim wrote: ↑Fri Aug 09, 2019 11:41 amAmerican-Northern Irish marriage applicant here. IMO, having a straightforward application is meaningless. We diligently planned our application for six years to make sure we had ample documentation. The application is colour coded and sectioned in chronological order.

We have gotten TDs and even Varadkar's offer to send Oireachtas inquiries and INIS just says they don't know where our application is. We do know it's in the office though. It was tracked and, after a few months, they did open it and send the currently valid passport back. But there is no application number and they haven't entered any info into the system so, I assume, it hasn't been looked at.
I think it's just luck of the draw. I obsess over the timelines on this forum and just can't find any trends that create "straightforward applications". I would have thought ours could be. All the original documents are in English. We've carefully curated a selection of documents to show we've always lived in the same place. We put family members as referees. But it doesn't matter. There are 15,000 applications so it's like waiting for a lottery number.
I know UK immigration is a hassle you're better off doubling down on immigration cards than taking any risks. One day of illegal residency can ruin your life.
I am applying from Dublin. I doubt the website will be updated. Updating to the truth of "applications will be processed within five months to five years" doesn't have the same ring to it.sp84 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 14, 2019 5:41 pmWow that's crazy!!!!

On their website or says 6 months for an application - I think that needs updating if the backlog is that big!
Are you applying from NI ?
