[geriatrix]

Guidance regarding acquisition of French citizenship (marriage with French citizen) or guidance regarding immigration to the UK as a EU/EEA citizen or guidance regarding GMC registration as a EEA national with non-EEA medical qualification(s)?

How long have you been married to your French citizen wife and where have you been living since your marriage?

regards

[John]

Relevant to the PLAB test, have a look at this GMC webpage and in particular read under the heading "Who is an "exempt person"?", indeed no. 3 under that heading.

Citizenship in an EU country in just one year? No! I don't think so. Where are you living now? In France?

[geriatrix]

An alien or stateless person who marries a spouse of French nationality, after a period of four years of marriage, obtain French nationality by declaration, provided that the date of this statement of community life both emotional material has not stopped between the couple since their marriage and the spouse has retained his French nationality.

The period of cohabitation shall be five years old when abroad, when the declaration is no reason to have resided continuously and regularly for at least three years in France after marriage or not able to prove that his spouse was enrolled in French the term of their community living abroad to register the French outside of France. In addition, the marriage celebrated abroad must have been a transcript prior to the records of the French registry.

The alien spouse must also provide evidence of sufficient knowledge, depending on its condition, the French language.

France is one of the most difficult countries when it comes to papers. My wife is french and they don't even acknowledge the marriage or any document issued outside the eu.
To acquire french citizenship through marriage you should have married in france or any french consulate and they will ask for tons of papers. Plus, proof of knowledge of french lifestyle and language. Please underline lifestyle. Still, british citizenship is much stronger than the french according to me

[SunBlue]

Stronger in which sense, Guerro?

I HAVE BEEN MARRIED TO FRENCH SINE 14 AUGUST 2010,IN PAKISTAN.THEN SHE WENT BACK TO FRANCE

DR.NAJAM, please don't shout! On the internet posting in block capitals is equivalent to shouting, and on this board such posts are liable to be deleted without notice.

Your French wife has gone back to France. So does she intend to move to the UK and exercise EU Treaty Rights in the UK? For example by being employed or self-employed?

[Guerro]

Stronger in which sense, Guerro?

When you go abroad with a british passport rather than a french. Britain is part of if not the founder of the Commonwealth not france. Strength of a country is measured according to complicated criteria, to sum up britishness is better than frenchness (if the word frenchness exists)

For me, i love british lifestyle and i hate the french one

Quoi? Is this the best you can do to back your statement that British citizenship is "stronger" than French citizenship? I'm sorry but nothing you have written makes any immediate logical sense to me. Perhaps if I read it standing on my head...

[lilshyone]

Don't see any sense in that fight. Won't help anyone

[DR.NAJAM]

o i am sorry i didn't know that writing something in capital means bad ...

[DR.NAJAM]

well my wife haven't yet decided to go to England.. actually we have planned that i will be in France within few months and then i want to enter foundation programe and for this a friend of mine living in France told me that after 1 year i can claim my European citizen ship and after getting it i will get exemption from PLAB

[geriatrix]

Dr Najam, as per Article 21-2 (quoted above), you may be eligible for French citizenship on basis of marriage to a French citizen after having lived in France for 4 years subject to you fulfilling any other mandatory conditions.

Also, if your wife doesn't intend to move to the UK and exercise EU treaty rights, you'll not be eligible for exemption from PLAB (or other registration procedures with GMC) as a family member of EEA citizen exercising EU treaty rights.

Please click on the links John and I have provided in our responses above, and read through the information regarding GMC registration requirements.
