Hello, Thank you very much for you advice and in answering to your question; My wife is an EU citizen and she doesn’t have a British citizenship. She has been living in the UK before her country joined the EU, as she had to obtain ILR on her passport. I applied as a spouse of a settled person in th...

Hello All, I trust you’re all keeping well. I would be grateful if you can answer my query regarding the non-EU family member settlement scheme. I’m a non-EU family member married to an EU citizen Do they only hold a non-UK, EU nationality? If they're a dual UK citizen then the application can be r...
Just an update - wife received her pre-settled status yesterday. They left a voicemail for her to call back, figured they needed more evidence or something, but turns out it was just to tell her she was approved.
In terms of timelines, she applied on the 15th May. Almost 5 months in total.
Applied 15th May, wife already has a residence card so figured it would be straight forward. No response yet. Called them and they said everything's fine. Any idea what's going on? How are people applying in July and getting responses days later? I applied around the same time as you, same situatio...
Hi, I made a previous thread about my wife's application here: https://www.immigrationboards.com/ireland/wife-s-application-for-naturalisation-rejected-for-no-valid-reason-t256657.html We're thinking of trying another application (it's been over 3 years since she got her residence card, so that's on...

My wife and I were in practically exactly the same situation (even got married 4th October 2014 lol), and we were rejected. Few things which might help you that I wish I knew: - They keep all your documents (except passport) even if rejected, so make copies. It's kinda difficult to re-apply without ...
If her current passport hasn’t expired then nothing to worry about. If you meet an immigration officer at the border ( again highly unlikely! ) they just care that the passport is in date and of course the person carrying the passport matches the one in the bio page of the passport. Don’t get too s...
That's correct, she does not need a visa to enter Ireland. There is no border between Northern Ireland and the ROI so you won’t be meeting an immigration officer or point of entry into the ROI. I heard from the news a few years ago Irish immigration officers were doing random immigration checks but...
Hi, My wife is Singaporean and had to renew her passport recently, but she has to go to Dublin to pick up the new one. I can't find a straight answer on potential issues we may face driving down. Details: Me: Irish citizen. We're both living in Northern Ireland (I from birth, which might matter in a...
Hi, I'm from Northern Ireland, have Irish Passport, my wife is non EU, she's just obtained PR, had previously had FP then 5 year RC. Basically, you need to be exercising your Treaty Rights in 5 continuous years since the date she first entered the UK, so working. Doesn't matter what she was doing, ...
What exactly do you mean by EEA application? Is it for a residence card, or an EEA family permit? If you're exericising treaty rights in the UK (e.g. working full time) then she's allowed to stay and work. The residence permit officially acknowledges the right to work, which makes it easier to get a...
Hi, As I posted over in the Ireland section, my wife's application for Irish citizenship was recently rejected on nonsensical grounds, so I've been looking into other options. Details: I'm an Irish citizen living in Northern Ireland since birth. I used to be only British, but became Irish and renoun...
This is dreadful. When did you apply? 11th May, I believe. Might be a day or two off. Had you any previous correspondence with INIS prior to your refusal (requests for further information, additional evidence, etc)? No, when we received the letter today we thought it was just confirmation that it h...
Hi, Just received this rejection today, was a bit confused, could anyone provide advice? I'm an Irish citizen, we're living in Northern Ireland. My wife arrived here in February 2015, so we sent off the naturalisation application form in May 2018. We get a letter today saying that she hadn't met the...
