Oh, and by the way, I did not use the 137 page RC application form. I wrote a covering letter and just filled in the personal section and biometric page!!!

So sorry it has taken me so long to reply but I had problems logging back in! All going well, COA arrived within 2 weeks of providing biometrics, now waiting for RC. If you have not already done so then yes, supply a copy of your fathers Irish passport. You have probably already done this by now tho...

Update: DIL had niño and bank account, school application form submitted, Child benefit applied for today! Next step, working families tax credits and RC. Coming along nicely although not looking forward to filling in the new 139 page RC application!!!

Scrap my last post Clive, just spoke with British gas and they said son and wife can request monthly payment summery if requested, so job done!

Clive, will a welcome letter from British gas suffice as I am on pay as you go and don't receive Bills. It's unlikely that they will transfer to my sin and wife on a direct debit basis as they do a credit check and son will have a low credit rating due to no other direct debits. He will probably hav...

Fantastic Clive, congratulations on the RC.

Yes your right regarding mobile phone! My Son has a bank account already so may be able to get her on the same one! Have decided to move the gas and electric account in both their names that way they have proof of address! Son is already on the electoral role but as a Brit, next time the card pops t...

Hi Clive,
Difficult regarding bills as they will be living with me and all bills are paid through my account via direct debit and all in my name! Only thing I can think if us getting her a contract mobile?

Yeeees, we did it! Family permits granted. So damned happy right now. Clive. Thank you so much for your invalued support and guidance, I am sure I will have further questions once they are here in UK. Xx

Aw, thanks Clive!

Letter that accompanied the certificate stats that renunciation of Brit nationality affects persons status to live in UK, if you live in UK you should contact us ASAP for info on how you are affected and what steps you must take to confirm immigration status? Any advice?

Son got his certificate back today of renunciation! Very quick.

No worries Clive! Will get copy of his Fathers passport!

One more question before posting off the form tomorrow! RN1 states, if you got your citizenship by decent from parent/grandparent, you should send following: Their citizenship Your relationship to them Is the above necessary? Son was only going to send in a copy of his Irish passport as he does not ...

Got that one covered Clive, sons wife has Government letter of sole custody of the child!

Thanks Buddy ! His wife has a 4 year old child as well as sons child but you have answered my question. He's already working and his Contract states he is Irish ) as had to show a passport when taking up his employment! Hope you receive your COA what ever that means! Lol

Another question? Will Sons wife and child both being Thai need comprehensive medical insurance when they apply for FP?

If they want to play silly buggers then I will just get a medical report stating he is sound of mind!

Yes he got his passport in August, Grandson just got his Brit passport! I have signed it as it says "known to applicant" personally!!!! Doc does not know my son personally!!!! He never goes to docs! Lol
