Re: Please help! Italian Citizenship, name changes??

Can't offer any help I'm afraid, but I'm applying for Italian citizenship by marriage and I found this site quite helpful: http://italiancitizenship.freeforums.org/ There are people on there from various countries applying for Italian citizenship, but there seem to be a lot from the USA especially s...

Re: Online PR Application and Absences

No, they do not ask for proof of the absences. If you have a national ID card you can send that instead of a passport so they can't even check the stamps for trips outside the EU. They might cross check with information from UK Visas and Immigration, but even that wouldn't give a complete picture.

Re: Online EEA PR and EU passport return service available

Just to add - I just looked at the form that was submitted via the online service (the summary that you get after filling it in), and it contains the following: Required Documents: Two passport photos I confirm I will supply one hard copy of my application form and enclose this with my documents wh...

Re: Permanent Residence - Premium Service ? * Urgent *

Why do you want a premium service? The PR card doesn't give you any rights you don't already have. It just confirms your status. It's probably a prudent thing to do in the wake of the Brexit vote, but that won't actually happen for a couple of years. If your case is straightforward, your supporting ...

Re: My experience in the UK

Welcome. At least no complaint about the weather. You have experienced free movement, it has given you an opportunity you may not otherwise have had. You have been able to experience and investigate and then validate or disprove conceptions (and misconceptions or prejudices) previously fed to you b...

Re: EU citizen resident travelling back to UK with US passpo

I don't suppose you have an Italian ID card, do you? That would do fine for entering the UK (well, UK border agents aren't very fond of Italian ID cards because they look like something that was knocked together in a shed with a printer and some glue, but they can't really refuse one without good re...

Re: EEA (PR) Public Funds received

Bear in mind that the jobseeker's allowance only needs to be declared if it was income-based. If it was contribution-based you don't need to do anything. See http://www.entitledto.co.uk/help/jsa I don't know how this part of the online form works, but looking at the physical EEA(PR) form, the table ...

Re: Italian Citizenship by Marriage - UK CITIZEN

OP - what happened in the end? I have the same question as you. As you say, the website is clear that the birth certificate translation must be certified by the consulate, but it's not clear whether that needs to be done in advance of the application or at the time of the appointment. The fact that ...
