As far as I am aware, the Romeine route is not available to commonwealth country citizens.w0mbat wrote: ↑Tue Sep 06, 2022 3:51 pmHi . Congratulations on your successful submission . I am going to apply online for UKM (Romein) on the similar model of mother receives the right to citizenship by marriage to a person who has the right to citizenship by descent through his UK born parents. This is the model where the applicant is born before 1983 and the marriage occurred before 1949. I hope you can assist me with some questions based on your experiences .
1. When using the online submission process, is it allowed to submit some documents during the online process and after the online submission is completed to then supply additional documents at a later date? Perhaps also using the online system, or via courier as hard copy? Or must all documents be submitted during the online application process and no further documents will be accepted after that process is completed?
2. After completing the online registration process, how much time is allowed for sending the hard copies of documents (birth certificates, marriage certificates, etc)?
3. For the documents I need to supply with my application (including birth certificates, marriage certificates) can these be simply copies of the originals? Or must they be original copies as issued by the respective births deaths and marriages Registries of the relevant governments? (In my case the UK government and Australian State governments.)
Also, if the documents originate from a foreign government registry (some of mine will come from Australia) then must these foreign documents also be notarised / apostilled by the issuing agency?
Thank you for your guidance on the points. .

Wow, approval less than a month after your biometrics appt - that's amazing! You will have to tell me what sort of fairy dust you sprinkled on your application. Was it a Romein application or something else?Gallagheria wrote: ↑Tue Oct 25, 2022 5:10 amEligibility criteria: UKM

Citizenship application approved: 21 November 2022 !!!!!!! My county council has not yet received my naturalisation certificate. The Home Office says this takes one or two days.

Just received the letter today. I have to call the consulate on Monday to set up an MS Teams ceremony. It said the citizenship certificate will be mailed via UPS after that.
Thank you for the reply to my post...EquinoxHorizon wrote: ↑Thu Jan 12, 2023 1:29 pmCongratulations, les1419rby! That's great news. But how frustrating that it takes 12-16 weeks?? I mean, I know the postal service isn't what it once was but seriously? I was not aware that letters could even remain in the system that long.
Where did you sign up to do your ceremony? Could you contact that location to inquire if they have received your registration certificate? I was able to schedule my ceremony once my location had received my certificate; it was independent of receiving the letter. That was not in the US though. It is however worth a shot, imho.
I got my certificate of registration today and began the passport application. Do I need to send the same documents (my US passport and the certificate of registration) that they just sent me back, or just copies? Thanks.EquinoxHorizon wrote: ↑Thu Jan 12, 2023 1:39 pmUpdate
